My Playlist

I’ve decided to use a playlist to describe myself. Before I do that I’m going to provide you with a little bit of an outline of myself. I like to think of myself as a likeable person. When I meet new people I tend to be shy and reserved around them. However once I get to know them I am completely the opposite. That’s when I turn loud and tend to be more confident, and honestly make a fool out of myself and friends in public (in a humorous way though ). It makes sense to me, when you trust people you act like yourself around them, when you’ve just met them you have no idea what’s going through their head and what they think of you.  I actually (like most people) enjoy attention. Most people have told me I’m quite a funny guy, you wouldn’t know it if you met me at first, but I’m HILARIOUS.

I tend to play down my personality when I first meet people to shield myself from judgement, YES I came from a ruthless small town where everyone knew everyone else’s business.

ANYWAY… Here’s my playlist.

1.) The first song “Sweaty”, I chose because I love the beat of it, and I love Electronic music. It reminds me of just having crazy fun with friends, living in the moment. A typical night out really. Yes a night out, the drinking age is 18 in South Africa. 21 is just ridiculous!

2.) The second song “Float” is calm and relaxing and I LOVE the vocals. This song is very soothing. I chose this to show the laid back part of my personality. I’m a very open minded, caring, relaxed person.

3.) My third song “Barbra Streisand”, most people know it’s a dance song, that just repeats “Barbra Streisand” over and over again. This song is for the outgoing, sometimes silly part of my personality, when I don’t care what anyone thinks because I’m having fun.

4.) My fourth song, “Shove It”, I chose for the part of me that dislikes people who hate others for no particular reason other than lack of understanding. I try not to judge other people because if you haven’t gone through what that person is experiencing, you cannot judge them – in most cases.

5.) My Fifth song, “Pass Out”. Is for the part of me that sometimes gets out of control. Not a particularly good part of my personality. I mean at age 14 I was completely out of control.

6.) My sixth song, “Fireworks”. I chose for love really, I’m quite the hopeless romantic, even though I haven’t found love yet. It’s more about the complications of love.

7.) My seventh song, “Crystalised”. Is for sadness, there have been certain points in my life where I have just not been in a good place emotionally. Really difficult times.

8.) My eighth song “Suburbia”. It’s exactly that suburbia, this is for my escape from suburbia. The exact reason I moved to the big apple. RELIEF!

9.) My ninth song “Naked Kids”, reminds me of all the fun times I have with friends when I just act like myself.

10.) The tenth song is just catchy, deal with it.
