Playlist of Me

In making this playlist of me I found it so hard to find songs that really gave into the essence of who i am as a person. Because music is my life, I went through every playlist, every lyric and almost every note until I could find the perfect songs to tell my story.
At first, I needed a song that built up the anticipation of me. A song that could reveal who I am without completely giving me away, an interlude so to speak, and that's exactly what I chose. The song at the beginning of my playlist is the All of the Lights Interlude by Kanye West. The songs serves as an introduction, a way to get the audience ready and to prompt their ears to listen to what I have to say.
The second song, All that I'm Living For by Evanescence, shows my loud side. The side of me that exists within when I want to scream. This song reminds me that I'm living for me and I have to take this life and turn it into something magnificent. Through this song I realize that I am maturing and at this point in my life I am content with who I am and what I have accomplished thus far.
The third song is Comes to the Light by Jill Scott. This song for me separates the dark from the light, the fake from the real. Throughout my life I have undergone so many friend renovations and went through times where I honestly felt as if I had no "real" friends. This song for me makes it ok to have to stand on your own and finally see people for who they really are. I love this song because it provided me with a strength to recognize wrongs in most of my friendships and let go.
The last song is Feeling Good by Nina Simone and that is exactly what the song does for me. Every word in the song is how I want my life to be. The feeling of being free and not having any boundaries on my life or goals, embracing the present and living in the now of things is how this song makes me feel. "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me" those exact words evoke every spirit in my body and let me know that even if today is hard tomorrow will be ok because I get another chance to start over and I am essentially waiting for the morning after.
