I have very diverse interests, especially when it comes to music. I like to think my taste in music says a lot about how I view the world, the fact that I except the darker, more unsavory parts of life as well as the positive aspects. Also that I recognize and appreciate the diversity of my city. Some of the lesser known songs on my playlist show that I am willing to dig a little deeper to find good things. I have been known to be a bit moody at times and I think my playlist is pretty up and down mood wise, though some of them are purely for fun. “Everything In It’s Right Place” is definitely one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time and sums up perfectly how I feel half the time. Though I promise that’s not as bad a thing as it sounds, life is just a lot all at once  sometimes. Alice Coltrane is what the world sounds like to me on the most beautiful days and Burial has been one of my musical obsessions for the past 3 years or so. I think the most important thing this playlist shows about me is a willingness to open myself to diverse influences rather than adhering to the influences other people think I should surround myself with based on stereotypes.
