Leean’s Playlist

FRO Playlist

The ten songs listed in this playlist are all important to me. My playlist begins with The Cranberries “Zombie”. When I was a baby “Zombie” was the first song I ever bobbed my head to, it was the song that made me fall in love with music. Even today “Zombie” is one of my favorite songs of all time. After that comes “Wannabe” by The Spice Girls which embodies my childhood. Whenever I hear that song I think of how in elementary school my girlfriends and I would pretend to be the Spice Girls (I was Baby Spice) and sing as well as dance along to the song. Alanis Morissette’s “Everything” pretty much sums up how I see myself. Listen to it and you’ll get a real insight into who I am. While “She’s a Rainbow” by The Rolling Stones is how the people closest to me see me: changeable, bright, active, fun and always into something new. Next up is “The Reason” by Hoobastank which is a very meaningful song to me. The song makes me think of every time I made a mistake or hurt someone I’ve loved and how I never want to do that again. “The Reason” illustrates how I learn from my mistakes. “Mr.Brightside” by The Killers is a song that I fell in love with from the moment I heard it. It expresses how I always tend to look at the positive side of things even when nothing is going my way. I am a glass half full type of person. Florence and the Machine’s “Shake It Out”  exemplifies how I can sometimes dwell too much on my past and all the regrets I have. This song helps to bring me out of the darkness of the past and focus instead on the light of the present and to let go my regrets. Plus it’s a nice song to dance to. When I think of love, just love in general, I play “Yellow” by Coldplay. There is a line in the song “For you I’d bleed myself dry”, that really resonates with me, it expresses how when you love someone you give everything of yourself. To me that’s what love is, you surrendering yourself to someone else. Then it’s Imagine Dragon’s “It’s Time”. This song is really relevant to me today because at this point in time  I have to decide in which direction I’m going to take my life and how I can’t allow myself to be changed by others. I understand that I have to grow up but I also need to stay true to myself. To conclude my playlist I chose “The Fighter” by Gym Class Heroes featuring Ryan Tedder because I’ll always be fighting on no matter how many times I’m knocked down. I’m not a quitter.  Well, that’s my playlist, I hope you enjoy it. ~Leean
