I actually had trouble searching for songs that represented or had significance to me. But I pulled through, after searching through my 1600+ Youtube playlist of songs LOL. I chose to do a song playlist because music has had a major influence on my mood and personality.

So first up, I chose ‘Enigma’ by Veigar Margeirsson. After my first listening of this song, I had been inexplicably and emotionally moved. Never has any piece of music taken me through a fleshed out journey full of experiences and feelings that only pertained to me. I have placed it first on the playlist because it is definitely my favorite song. Next, I chose ‘He’s a Pirate’ by Klaus Badelt. It is a song that I listen to when I’m lacking motivation and determination. Third, I chose ‘No Light, No Light’ by Florence + The Machine because its lyrics vaguely applied to me. It’s about how someone made a mistake and couldn’t keep his/her significant other from slipping away from them. In parallel, I have let many opportunities get away because of my shy personality. I chose ‘Bring Me to Life’ by Evanescence next because I don’t think I’m actually living my life to its fullest. Or, as Nicki Minaj said, “But to live, doesn’t mean you’re alive.” As corny as it sounds, I am waiting for someone to lift me off from the dusty floor and waltz me around my life. Fifth, I chose ‘Angels’ by The xx. It is a somber, yet powerful song that represents the hopeless romantic that I am. Next, I chose ‘Fairy Dance’ by James Newton Howard. It is full of hope, curiosity, and wonder, but it also hints of slight melancholy near the end. Also, ‘fairy’ was the closest term I could link to my love for fantasy. For the next song, I chose ‘King and Lionheart’ by Of Monsters and Men. It represents my fierce devotion to those I truly care about. I am selfish most of the time, but there are certain people I would swim the Pacific for (I don’t know how to swim). I blanked out after this, so I decided to meet the 10-song quota by adding 3 random rave/EDM songs (‘Bad’ by David Guetta & Showtek ft. Vassy, ‘SMASH!’ by Ummet Ozcan, and ‘Hero’ by Pegboard Nerds ft. Elizaveta). EDM (Electronic Dance Music) is currently my favorite genre of music. Sadly, I have not attended a rave yet, but I am planning to in 2015!

Music is what I turn to for comfort that no embrace can compare to. Music is a release for my bottled emotions. It soothes me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, so I probably won’t be denying its magnitude anytime soon. :3
