I get anxious sometimes flying in planes and during take off I've always listened to this song, because it make me feel safe.]]> 2020-09-08 20:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729170366 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729171553 a song that i played a lot during some very hard parts of my life. holds a very important place in my heart ]]> 2020-09-08 20:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729171553 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729171833 Play My Music by the Jonas Brothers was a big song for me in my childhood. As I grew up, I realize that I did many things that were involved with music. I did choir in middle school and did a musical in high school. I love to sing, and music is a very important aspect of my life and this song has a very clear theme of that message.]]> 2020-09-08 20:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729171833 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729188867 My brother and I watched Phineas and Ferb when we were little, and it's been part of me growing up for a very long time. For example, when my latin teacher would go out to get his printouts, my entire Latin class would start singing and try to finish it before they got back. It just made everyone around me sing in loudly and out of tune, and by the end everyone was laughing and smiling, so hearing it now makes me smile really hard.Basically, it just makes me happy and slightly nostalgic.]]> 2020-09-08 20:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729188867 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729242546 Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. This song has increasingly become more important in my life over the years. The first time I ever heard it was when I was 9 and sang it for a choir concert. Then recently in April of this year I lost my childhood dog Pengy. When she was very sick I played this song for her on my guitar. Now whenever I hear this song it makes me cry, happy yet sad tears. ]]> 2020-09-08 21:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729242546 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729254893 Hard Days Night by The Beatles

It also just helps me chill out in general and never fails to still feel fresh after dozens, if not hundreds of listens.]]> 2020-09-08 22:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729316446 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729324849 The song "Piano Man" by Billy Joel. It is very soothing and my bf back in Minnesota always plays it along with the harmonica so connects me back to that and their family. Everyone in my family also loves listening to that song so it is just a unifying song I have come to love.

The amount of parties with karaoke present that I have not sung this song at could be counted on one hand. This brings me peace and happiness because although I felt stressed when I was performing, it always brings me back to the presence and comfort of family.]]> 2020-09-08 22:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729349755 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729388750
The song Call You Home by Mangas Colorado has meant a lot to me because I usually travel around for work during summers and winters and so go without seeing my parents for months at a time, in places with limited cell service. This song has always been something I listen to soothe me if I am missing them and it reminds me that I will see them soon.]]> 2020-09-08 23:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729388750 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729455167 This song honestly helped me so much to just explain how I was feeling during a rocky point that I went through a year ago. It was hard for me to describe the self-crisis that I was going through and Lorde was able to perfectly explain the relationship that she had with herself and rest of the world.]]> 2020-09-08 23:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729455167 https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/729464292 King and Lionheart

The reason it sits at the top of my list is because of all the memories it brings up & the important role it played in cultivating my love of music & singing. Anytime I hear the songs from the film, I'm flooded with all sorts of emotions. These differ, depending on the song. Here is one of my favorites from the movie.

When I'm at work and this comes on, I can't help but to bust a move. This song came around during some of the most peaceful times of my life where everything was okay within my family and just the feeling I had is something I won't forget.

I first heard it when my grandmother gave me a miniature toy record player- this was my favorite track on it and it has always stuck with me. I lived with my grandmother at the time, so it brings me happy feelings of the place where I grew up.

About halfway through to the end of this movement,  a choir joins the orchestra. For me, this is one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard,  beautiful sound are something that make me happy. If you'd  like, listen to the entire work from the beginning  (it's so good and each planet sort of gets there own story): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkiiAloL6aE&list=PLOuTaF_LKTlGxumHLkW6eAK9RWEHIL3RK&index=1]]> 2020-09-17 17:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/xiajing/ncwisl4a6dxfnggx/wish/756172422
