With an online start to the semester and a hybrid future for the rest of the school term, music has been like an imaginary shoulder to lean on, for me.
I’ve shifted my music selection to songs that would soothe my worries and bring me a sense of inner-peace. Through music, I’m able to put the present on pause and transcend to a different realm, one that is calm like the forest in springtime. Music allows me to see my life through different lenses and helps me form a new perspective each day. No matter how busy life gets, or how many responsibilities pile up, music will always stay where it is, suspended in time and at my disposal whenever I feel it’s necessary.
I wanted to share a playlist of songs I’ve been enjoying in hopes to not only share my music taste with my fellow peers and invite them to listen to music they might be unaccustomed to, but also to provide them with the same relief that these songs give to me. If not relief, I hope these songs can be found to be relatable, enjoyable and an escape from everyday life.
