My Personal Playlist I have picked a handful of song that show you what I have went through and overcame to make where I am today. So with that said I’m going to try and put you in my shoes and let you in on some of the unfortunate event that I have had to overcome. While you read further into my life there will be some ups and downs but you are going to be one of the lucky ones because there is only a handful of people that know this side of me!! With the song “Big Green Tractor” by Jason Aldean is going to be a good place to start. This is a song that really does hit close to home because since I grew up on a farm we have always had livestock and that means that you have to have a tractor to do all your shore. So I was always out there helping my dad putting out hay and everything else that needed to be done but I was always stuck running the gates for him but I liked to call it being “gate bitch”. I always went out to help because I felt that it was part of my responsibility to help my dad with all the chores because I knew he wouldn’t be able to do it on his own. When I was younger I always begged my dad to let me drive the tractor but he always said that I was to small that I needed to wait until I got bigger, so I waited but while I waited I would jump in beside him and ride along with him …show more content…

He was like a second father to me, I could call him up at any time and he would be there no matter what. He was my biggest role model because he never lost his cool with anyone, it didn’t matter how mad someone made him. He was great to me because I could always go to him with any problem I had and I know that he will always be watching over me because when I was younger I did a lot of things that I never should have

    Another song that I thought a lot about when I heard it was "Grandpa was a Carpenter." I remember a lot about my grandpa and just like in the song Grandpa and me used to do everything together when I was little, and when he got sick, I didn't really understand what was happening because I was so little. I remember how as I got older he couldn't do much anymore.

    Which was no strange feeling to me since I turned to music to cope with whatever ailed me, because no matter what, a song, some headphones, and volume turned way too loud was always there. Returning to the supple age of ten, was a disconnect, mainly between the receptors in my brain that determine whether or not I get enough of the happy chemicals, but between what I am, and what I thought I was. I thought I was a kid like everyone else, I would be sad for no reason often, but moving many times, and having to be on my own for a large portion of my early to late teens, I thought it was how life was for most people in my situation. My situation was dreary at best, people bullied me extensively in middle school to high school, in the first string of serious relationships I had they all left because of some arbitrary meaning of what being happy should have been; coming to a peak on Valentines day of 2012, the first time I attempted suicide. Suicide is the focus of the song, how abandonment can lead to hopelessness and desperation to the point of the ultimate act of despair, death. “I guess I finally had the courage to go away. The promises we made were made hollowly. Sometimes you'd reassure me we'd be okay. But you'd always leave” (A Lot Like Birds. Kuroi Ledge. Equal Vision Records, 2013.

    What are dreams? Some would say they are imaginations and fantasies, whereas others would claim dreams to be their aspirations, desires, and hopes, something they want to achieve someday. Aerosmith uses the latter group’s meaning of dreams in their song “Dream On”. The song exposes how one spends their whole life reaching the goals and wants that may never be all fulfilled, but continues to dream and hope, corresponding with the difficulties the band itself faced during the start of their career and how they kept trying to get to the top.

    This track was the hardest one only because I couldn't remember a song that represents my family. Instead I pick a song that only represent my mother. In 2008, on Mother's Day me and my niece was going through songs that we should sing to my mother and came across a very sweet popular song. It is called "Mama by Boyz II Men". I pick that specific song because it explains everything. For example, the first verse is "You taught me everything and everything you're given me" and "You were there for me to love and care for me when skies were grey". Those versus is true because my mom did taught me everything I needed to know and she also love and care for me no matter what was the circumstances. She even took risks for me me.
