(P.S. one of my favorite songs)  |

Most people would see my playlist and would not expect me
to listen to such artists. Above are some songs that I enjoy listening to
because of their lyrics, how they sing the songs, and include such a strong
meaning specifically to my life.
Someday by
Rob Thomas focuses on the bad and good days in life. In the song Rob sings, “You can run or when everything is over and
done, you can shine a little light around you…Man, it’s good to be someone.” I
first heard this song while in the car with my mom driving to my
great-grandmother’s funeral. It made me realize how important people are in
each one of our lives. Sometimes we notice only the bad things in life, and do
not realize the good things we have and take it for granted. Losing my
great-grandmother was hard at such a younger age, but it made me notice how
much of an impact she had on my life. She taught me to focus on the good days
and live them with no regrets. If bad days come along, try to think of the positive
ways to embrace it. Eventually, you look at the bad days and think of how you
got to where you are now in life. Just take moment and think how important life
can be, don’t take it for granted…

ReplyDeleteI like the song you posted in the video, it has a hopeful message. Maybe it would be nice if we COULD just start over. Your playlist (and personality) remind me of my dad. Even though we have our differences, I still appreciate his optimism. Anyways, awesome playlist!
ReplyDeleteI am also a big fan of Ellie Goulding, she is probably my favorite female singer and "Anything Could Happen" is one of my favorite songs by her, I used to listen to it on repeat when I went for long runs. I am not the biggest Rob Thomas fan, but do I think his music has a nice message.
ReplyDeleteAshton, I really liked that your were honest and raw about how your playlist might seem depressing to some people, but reflected how you where feeling. It's refreshing to see people talk about the songs that make them sad or remind them of a hard time because a lot of the time everyone focuses on uplifting songs.
ReplyDeletePeter, thanks! Thought many people did not know Rob Thomas, but mos tof his songs make you think about life!
ReplyDeleteJack, Ellie Goulding just makes you wanna get up and dance, or makes you more motivated to run. I also listen to her when I work out.
Rachel, haha thanks, I am glad someone can relate to my many emotions. Sometimes listening to these songs can make me happier, such as Panic! At the Disco, or Walk the Moon...
