Chandelier- Twisted Measure
This song is an a capella arrangement of the popular SIA song. I think the songs message has always spoken to me about letting go if things don;t matter right then in that moment.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this songs because it’s one of those songs that I could listen to on repeat and not get sick of. It doesn’t even have that positive of a message at all, but it’s a fun song and it has some strong lyrics.

X (with 2 Chainz & Saudi) by ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz, Saudi
This is a song from the Black Panther album that my friend and I would listen to as a hype song before performing for vshow so it serves as a reminder of my last ever vshow.

This song was the gateway to music for me. I have never heard something that has made me feel an emotion I've never felt. Lyrically, Stevie Nicks is a genius and knowing the entire story behind her romance allows you to emphasize with her. Queen of heartbreak.

Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez
A song told in my perspective. I wanted this to look more like a child's drawing as that is the POV being expressed through the song.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked this song because i can listen to it all day long. it’s motivational and so calming. Andra does such a good job singing this song and her words really persuade me to rise up and that i can do the things i want to do

I chose the song Halo by Beyoncé. I love this song because it is so positive and I love singing along to it. It always puts me in a great mood when I listen to it. Most songs these days are complaining about love etc. but this song is moreno positive and uplifting.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this song because it’s a song I can listen to on repeat for hours and it will never get old. It has been my favorite song since sophomore year. The lyrics, the background noise, drake being featured it’s just an amazing song. It’s a song I blast in my car and the bass in this song is insane so I just bump in my car to this slow yet fun song.

No Man's Land (Wonder Woman Soundtrack) - G2

By: Rupert G-Williams
I picked this piece from the Wonder Woman Soundtrack because of how powerful words can be and how they could be used rather than a devastating war. Also, the Wonder Woman movie is powerful in the sense that people with words can change the world.

The Way Life Goes by Lil Uzi Vert is one of my favorite songs at the moment. It just picks you up. You can jam with your friends to it or listen alone with headphones and it’s great either way.

Skin - Sixx A.M.

Some try not to be, but I think all humans are inherently superficial beings. At least, to some degree. And obviously, this applies to some more than others. But the way someone or something looks like determines what we initially think, and it’s hard to escape that mindset.

I picked the song "The Real" by a band called Busty and the Bass. It's actually my morning alarm; I really like the instrumental parts, especially the first 20 seconds or so. I never paid much attention to the lyrics until just now, but it turns out this is a really positive, even motivational song. Which just kinda enhances  whole experience.

Lose Yourself by Eminem

I chose this song because the lyrics and the way the song sounds is very powerful. My favorite part of the song is the first few lines. Eminem sings, “if you had one shot to seize everything you ever wanted, would you capture it or let it slip”. This question is very powerful and makes me really wonder. I think everyone would want to “seize” the moment but would also be in fear of “seizing the moment” because they would be entering a new and unknown way of living. The picture on the left is someone in fear and the one on the right is someone taking a risk in hope for a better life/opportunity.

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel: This song takes me back to my childhood when my family would go on road trips as one big happy family while listening to an unreasonable amount of simon and garfunkel. This is a specific song that I could never get sick of on road trips like these.

The Sun’s Gone Dim and The Sky’s Turned Black - Jóhann Jóhannson

I found this song originally in the trailer for the movie Battle: LA.  While the movie was hot garbage, the music stuck with me.

I grew up following Jóhanns work and I often credit his work for being an inspiration.

Jóhann Jóhannson passed away a couple weeks ago after a sudden heart attack. He was 48.

I’ve been listening to his work more than usual recently as a personal commemoration.

Joey Bada$$ - Paper Trail$

This lyric is very striking to me due to his own personal viewpoint on money. He uses the homophone of "root" and "route" to possibly hint that the path towards money is inevitable for anyone.

New Soul- Yael Naim

I chose this song because many good memories come with it and I relate so many of the lyrics. One of the lyrics I love is " But why all this hate? Try to communicate, finding trust and love is not always easy to make."

A Drop in the Ocean- Ron Pope
I really like this song because of the meaningful lyrics it contains. The chorus states "a drop in the ocean, a change in the weather.." I believe that this represents having faith in things even if something in life goes not as you may have planned.

One Of These Nights - The Eagles
This is one of those songs that transports me back to a specific time in my life, which was Habitat week. It was one of the best weeks of my life, wearing no makeup, hair a mess, not thinking about my phone, being completely myself around an amazing group of people, and just helping a community in need. The first time I heard this song was on Habitat, so every time I hear it it instantly puts me in a good mood and makes me think of how carefree happy and I was.

Cough Syrup - Young The Giant
This is a good song for any kind of mood and really helps to put things in perspective. We shouldn't waste our time and lives caring about the little things. Life is all about learning and making the best of it while we're still here.

From now on - Hugh Jackman

This song is from the movie The Greatest Showman. I particularly liked this one because it has its meaning within the movie, but it also works on its own. It basically tells how our dreams and wishes can make us forget the original reason why we began things, and that we should not forget where we are really coming from, as well as the reason that we are trying to reach this goal.

there is a light that never goes out - the smiths

This song is so depressing, but it's just so soothing. I love to sing to it when I'm in my car, and although the lyrics may not be completely relatable, I feel like I totally understand it all. I love The Smiths; their songs are really sad, but they're also really catchy - my favorite combination.

Kanye West - Runaway

I chose this song and this particular image because I can vividly remember watching it. It was 2010 and Kanye was due to release a new song at the VMA’s. To start, Kanye is alone. He approaches a lone MPC machine and begins to play the song from scratch. It was not long until I was entranced by Kanye and his MPC, but what have stuck out to this day are the lyrics. I know every word and I think every bar (especially in the chorus) is incredible.

Rivers and Roads by The Head and The Heart
This song is from one of my favorite bands and this particular song just encompasses so much emotion and meaning into what it's like to miss someone that you love so dearly. It shows the power of love pushing you to go any distance to be with someone.

This song is a breakup song, but personally I look at it as much more. This girl is trapped and this guy was her escape. He left her and she felt like he threw water on her flame. That is is what I wanted to highlight on my post it. This beautiful girl rising above her flames in the end. Without him.

This is the song that I always turn to remind me that I am okay whenever I have a bad day. It really lifts my spirits and makes me feel stronger. This song always cheers me up. No other song really gives me true motivation like this one.
