For many years, I have created playlists that I shared and listened to on my own. Sometimes, I had them on my blog, but most of the time they have been shared separately. My playlists are a little like Tarot in that they are often selected by listening to songs like cards, til I feel a spiritual check on a song, and I just know that they should be in the playlist. They are not just to communicate how I am feeling to others. Many times, they are songs that become important to me in the course of their week... that I needed to be listening to that song at that time. I wanted to do a post on why I selected the songs in my current playlist. I could do this with any of my playlists, but I thought it was good to do for this one.
Madelline - Opinions - I found Madelline a few years ago. She is not afraid to speak her mind and say controversial things, which I admire. This song is about not caring what others have to say in trying to control you but to be yourself.
Ava Max - Lost Your Faith - Despite the religious imagry inserted into the video, this song is not really about religious faith. It is about people not losing faith in each other. I think this is an important thing to be reminded about.. especially in our age of fear and fault finding.
For King and Country - Run Wild .. the chorus says it all.. "Run wild, live free, love strong." Be passionate in living your life.
Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club .. This song is also about being yourself, even if others close to you feel the need to judge you for doing it.
Mae Stephens - Small Town Syndrome .. This song is about the very real challenge of being a spectacle and object and judgement by those that know you. Many feel they must hide themselves from those closest to them or hide people from them... because what would they say... this song is closely related to the next.
Kate Hudson - Voices Carry.. This cover of the old song is about someone in a relationship, where the other person wants them to be quiet... because "voices carry" and the need to keep it secret. Well, that doesn't work for me. When I AM in a relationship in the future, I will be the pride of someone, not their secret. If I cannot be transparent myself, also, I don't want to be in it. No one should feel ashamed about being themselves or doing what they love.
Kent - Falska Profeter - Kent is such a great band that I often have included their songs without knowing the meaning of their foreign language words. However, this one is also about choosing freedom over condemning voices and pointing fingers.
Ivan Torrent - Beyond Love 2 - the first song was about a woman finding love with a dragon. This song has her feeling she should go to be with her people, only to find herself controlled and ends with her being saved by the dragon and taken to his island.
Lindsey Sterling - Halo theme - I love Lindsey. This song inspires you to fight for what is right for you.
This Wandering Day - this song is from LOTR Rings of Power, and it is about stepping out into adventure and finding new life.
Zendaya - Neverland - I included this song, because it to me is about holding onto and stepping into your dreams.
Rachel Platten - Girls .. I included this because I support women, but I also can identify with the lyrics in speaking and being your truth.
