When I chose my song I knew there was depth and meaning to the lyrics because I could tell how the person who wrote it felt and what they were going through at the time due to the lyrics. What makes a good song in my opinion is either having a good beat, or having powerful lyrics. I love when you can relate to a song because then it just makes it that much more personal. I've noticed that some individuals will listen to a song, but not really pay attention to the moral, the lyrics, or the mood that the song is supposed to create. I've noticed that some artists are starting to create meaningful songs, but others are just creating good dancing and partying songs that don't really have a meaning. There are also some songs that have almost no words, and absolutely no meaning, but that's just their genre. I prefer songs that have a meaning to them and that are relatable for me, but I definitely don't mind songs that are just meant to make you dance. There are a lot of songs that I listen to, but here are my top five at this moment:
1. Wish You Were Here-Avril Lavigne
2. Everybody Hurts-Avirl Lavigne
3. F**kin' Perfect-P!nk
4. The Only Exception-Paramore
5. Come Home-OneRepublic
The songs that I just named have meaning to me because I can relate to them all in some different way. The reason behind having "Wish You Were Here" by Avril Lavigne for number one is because I just recently started listening to it, but I do like it a lot. I have a huge connection with"The Only Exception" even though it's number four. One song that's not on this list that I have the most connection with is "River Flows in You" by Yiruma. It doesn't have any lyrics, it's just a piano, but I have such a connection with it because it's the song that I listened to while writing my speech for my grandma's funeral and so did my two other sisters and we didn't know until after. So I listen to that song everyday and it reminds me of all the good times I had with her. To me, music is life.
