I somehow missed this post, but it is too fun not to participate! My playlists are all over the place; however, I do have a song that I can relate to for different aspects of my life. This song makes me feel empowered. It is "Unstoppable" by Sia. When I was in labour with my daughter, my sister sent it to me. Now, when I hear it, I think of the day I got to meet my baby girl, but also connect to it when I think of myself as a mom who is working hard at her full-time job and working hard as a student to provide better for my family. I put going back to school off for years because I didn't think I could manage it, but here I am!

Kelly Clarkson has written many empowering songs throughout her several albums however, the song "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" is a personal favourite of mine. This song is helpful to anyone going through hardships, or just need motivation to get their schoolwork completed. It reassures one that this moment in their life will only make them stronger. Personally, this song has allowed me to overcome hardships, allowing me to realize those challenges I overcame made me stronger.

The song Superwoman by Alicia Keys embodies the strength and the heart it takes to juggle everything, such as family, students, schoolwork, and relationships, while still trying to care for yourself.

I like to listen to instrumental music whenever I get time, as it has calming, relaxing music that helps me keep my mind and body feeling relaxed and peaceful.

I love indie folk- what started with an obsession for the lumineers quickly turned into a whole new era of music for me. While this band is no longer together, they bring me so much hapiness!

I picked this album because I grew up listening to the Backstreet Boys, and their music still feels fresh even after so many years. The songs bring back memories and show how timeless their sound really is.

I chose Unstoppable because I really connect with its lyrics and meaning. The song is about inner strength, resilience, and pushing through challenges with confidence. It motivates me and gives me a sense of empowerment, so I wanted to share it.

Tate McRae's album, So Close To What, is one of my favourite albums of the year. I love her music because it really connects to me, and I mean, have you seen her dance? DEAR GOD (which is a song on the album), she is good at dancing and singing/songwriting! If you haven't listened to her music before, I would definitely recommend it!

Led Zeppelin changed rock and roll forever with their sound and aggression, and in my option, are the greatest rock band to ever exist. They've been my favourite band since I was a teenager, and this is their best song. - Sean O'Leary (padlet never wants to let me sign in)

I love listening to Maher Zain because his music expresses love, faith and hope.

I have many artists but my all time favorite will forever be P!NK. Her songs have always been in my life, whether I am rocking out to "Raise Your Glass" or dozing off to "Cover Me In Sunshine", she has amazing tones that fit whatever I am focused on. Her 2023 concert was my very first one with a popular artist. I will always have P!NK to get into a focused or working mindset.

I like Cleopatra The Lumineers, as the song lyrics are real and emotional, and the narratives push me to think about life decisions. The music is relaxing yet strong and this makes it easy to remember.

High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco is such a motivational song and are words to live by. It reminds me to strive for greatness and reach for the stars. Some things may be difficult, but it is all apart of your journey. Everything is achievable if you believe in yourself!

"I don't wanna take the world for granted,
While I'm still trying to understand it,
The more I live, the more I am convinced, Everyone just wants to be in love."

I don’t think this feeling is exclusive to our twenties; it really speaks to something more universal. Even when we have the freedom to choose any path, we often find ourselves led by the heart. That longing for connection, clarity, and love amid uncertainty is something nearly everyone can relate to. Deep down, we all just want to be loved and understood. I was fortunate to meet my partner at 20, and while we’re still figuring things out, knowing we’ll face whatever comes together makes all the difference.

It started out as a relationship of convenience, I would listen to Taylor whenever I was with my kids and driving them around. After a while I began to really connect with the lyrics, especially to some of her new stuff. Her music is so relatable and I really feel like there is something for everyone in her collection.

I just love George Michael songs, and the album Wham is my favourite. And you just gotta have faith faith faith!

Daydream Believer by The Monkeys! I always loved this song. It’s all about holding onto dreams, even when real life doesn’t always go as planned. I can relate to the mix of daydreaming and dealing with everyday stuff, like waking up early or going through routines. The lyrics remind me not to take life too seriously and to find joy in small things. Even when things aren’t perfect, the song helps me stay positive and hopeful.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a hard time choosing an artist because they are all so great, and I enjoy all kinds of music. I especially love lyrics and how a song can tell a story, like in Whiskey Lullaby. Music takes you back in time to special memories and places. A few songs hold a special place in my heart. This one, The World, I dedicated to my beautiful daughter, who truly is amazing in every way and means the world to me. I hope the last one, I'm Gonna Miss Her, brings a smile to your face like it always does for me. Enjoy!

The first time I heard this song it immediately gave gave me goosebumps! I've probably listened to it over 1000 times and it will never get old to me. Everyone has their own genre that they prefer, and EDM -dubstep is one of my favorites.

"I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art. You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart." Last year, I lived with a chronic illness and acute pain, yet I managed to still work three jobs, run my own business, pursue a doctoral program, and take my family on an epic three country trip through Europe while balancing way too many things (including a remote job interview in Switzerland). Was it easy? No. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat because I asked, "what if it all works out?" And it did. Thanks, Taylor, for writing the soundtrack to my life with this song, and TTPD. - Your lifelong fan, Amanda Robinson

Kehlani is one of my favourite artists. She is such a vibe, her music puts you in your feelings and can connect with almost every song on this album in someway.

# data[].attributes.body
I really love this album. The songs are fun, emotional, and easy to sing along with. My favorite song is “Cruel Summer” because it has strong feelings and a great beat. I like how each song tells a story. The music makes me feel happy and sometimes even helps me when I’m sad. Taylor Swift’s voice sounds beautiful in every track. I can listen to this album again and again without getting bored.

I love Backwoods Barbie, especially the title song, because I really identify with it. I’m a girly girl who loves to dress up, wear makeup, and get my nails done, something I’ve enjoyed since childhood. I used to use the annatto seed for my lipstick and sharpie for nail polish.  The song reflects my personality and makes me feel empowered and strong. It’s a true expression of who I am.

My husband and I are obsessed with the movie 'The Greatest Showman'. When things get hard with building our house and building a life for our family we watch the greatest showman or play the soundtrack while working and it keeps us going. This soundtrack can always keep us motivated, especially the song A Million Dreams as they say "it all sounds crazy" which people have told us with building a house on our own, with only the odd support, while having two kids and working full time, now with school as well. They also say "There's a house we can build, every room is inside is filled" and "runaway to a world we design". Which is perfect lyrics for the situation we are in.

Life throws many curveballs; for some, it seems like many more than others. I certainly have experienced many ups and downs in life; during my lowest points, it is always my mission to get back up. I live life by this quote: Life wouldn't throw something at you if life knew you couldn't handle it.

This album is a journey about love, loss, joy and intense feelings. I can listen to this anytime, anywhere from any point and thoroughly enjoy myself like it is the first time and like I am coming home to myself.
