the Soundtrack of a Life: songs That Move Me
Music is deeply personal, isn’t it? It’s a time machine, a mood enhancer, and a storyteller all rolled into one. Reflecting on the songs that have shaped my journey reveals a lot about who I am and what I value. Let’s dive into a few tracks that hold a special place in my heart.
The Guilty Pleasure: Sometimes, the songs you think you dislike are the ones you secretly adore. For me, that’s “E for electro” by Hi_Tack and Johnny Crockett. My sister and I played it relentlessly years ago, and revisiting it recently brought back a flood of fantastic memories. It’s officially back on rotation, even if I feign indifference when others ask!
The Morning Motivator: Starting your day with the right energy is crucial. “Worries” by LZee, Toddla T, and Naomi Cohen consistently delivers that boost. It’s an instant pick-me-up that sets a positive tone for whatever lies ahead.
The Life-Altering Anthem: Certain songs aren’t just heard; they’re felt.”Never Ever” by All Saints was our first number-one hit, and it completely changed the trajectory of our career. From that moment on, opportunities opened up, and we were able to travel the world and build a life we’d only dreamed of. It’s a song steeped in meaning, and it’s marvelous to see the 90s baggy trouser trend making a comeback alongside it!
The Funeral Farewell: Thinking about the music you’d want at your farewell is a surprisingly poignant exercise. I vividly remember the first time I saw Under the Cherry moon and heard Prince’s “Sometimes It snows in April.” The song’s heartbreaking beauty resonated deeply. If I’m honest,I want a little bit of emotional release at my funeral,and that song feels like the perfect catalyst.
Creating Musical Journeys: I recently had the pleasure of collaborating on a project that combines my love of music and travel. I’ve created a series of audio guides highlighting musical connections to various locations across the country. It’s a fantastic way to experiance a place through its sonic landscape.
Ultimately, music is about connection - to memories, to emotions, and to each other.I hope sharing these songs offers a glimpse into my world and inspires you to revisit your own personal soundtrack.
