You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening. – William W. Purkey
Guys, I love to sing. It’s one of my absolute favorite things in the entire world to do. I do it at least every day, whether is be singing along to music while I take a shower, humming as I make breakfast, or singing softly to myself while trying to fall asleep, I always make time for it in my day.
The song really depends on the mood I’m in, or whatever I currently have stuck in my head. I have to say, a lot of the songs I listen to are pretty depressing. An example, if I listened to my thumbs up playlist when I was already depressed, I would grow more depressed and probably end up crying. Lol. But if I’m in a good mood, I feel sorry for the artist, and wondered what happened or how they feel that results in those songs. I want to comfort them, and writes songs of my own that acknowledge the weight of the world, but also show the hope and love that there also is.
I have attempted to write music before, let’s just say it’s not the best. XD I think I’ll stick to sing songs that other people have wrote that express how I feel. Here are my playlists.
My Thumbs Up: https://www.pandora.com/playlist/PL:130092018922702519:495545393
I have A LOT of songs on my thumbs up. The nearer you get to the bottom, the more songs you reach that I haven’t listened to in awhile. Also, be warned, some of the songs do have bad words in them. Other than that they are mostly depressing, but you will find some random songs in there.
Relatable Songs: https://www.pandora.com/playlist/PL:199873623891117117:495545393
This playlist, is songs that I find relatable to how I feel sometimes. Being a teen is hard, and your not the only one who feels that way. It only has a few songs currently since I just started. It will grow though.
Fav SHI-DAWG: https://www.pandora.com/playlist/PL:187682238962336019:495545393
I like to listen to music without words in it when I’m doing school. So I present to you SHI-DAWG. His music is awesome, and I have started creating a playlist of some of my favorites. I totally recommend him!
I do listen to other music than pop. I also like country, bluegrass, and gospel. These are basically my background noise when I write and do school! I hope you check those playlists out! Let me know who are some of your favorite artists.
-Mae Blackwood
P.S. As some of you have probably realized, Mae Everdeen is just a pen name. But since I actually want to use my pen name when I publish books, I have now changed the last name to Blackwood!
