I feel my playlist describes me fairly well. It starts out with on of my favorite jazz instrumentals, “In a Sentimental Mood” by John Coltrane. Im a fairly sentimental person myself, and the title alone reflects that. The sound of the song also reflects my demeanor, which is usually calm and reflective.
The following classical piano piece “Gymnopedie” also reflects that about me. Following is “Symphony N0. 7 in A Major, which begins calm and relaxed, but progresses and builds. This represents the fact that while I’m calm and collected usually, I can get worked up as well. These songs also reflect my liking for older things, and vintage culture, which brings me to the following songs.
“I Don’t Want to Set the World On Fire” by The Ink Spots and “Ain’t that a Kick in the head” by Dean Martin are both songs from the early and mid 20th century, who’s music has always attracted me and given me a nostalgic sense (even though i wasn’t alive when this music was around and popular), most likely because my parents and family listened to it a lot.
The next song “Space Oddity” by David Bowie reflects this same vintage liking I have, as well as a liking towards things sometimes considered weird and “spacey” (sincerely not a reference the the title). Moving on, the next titles, “2+2=5”, “Too Little Too Late”, and “January 1979” all reflect my inclination, again, towards newer and sometimes weird and alternative things.
The final song “On the Nature of Daylight” brings this whole thing full circle. It is considered contemporary classical music, reflecting an inclination towards new things, but also the sense of calm I generally have that classical music represents.
