My Playlist
So, Today’s assignment was to create a playlist of 20 or more songs that help to define who we are. This is my playlist, you may not agree with every song on it, but believe me, I love them and they have a reason for being here.
The first song is Tank! by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, this song is on the list because it is not only the theme song to one of the greatest animes know to man, it is also a great jazz song. I’m not really a huge fan of jazz, but this song makes me very happy.
The second song is I’d Do Anything for Love by Meatloaf. I don’t really know exactly what he means when he says: “but I won’t do that,” but I think the lyrics are good and the music is great. It’s a longer song, so more emotions can be put into it… feeling of love, hate, joy, sadness… all into one great package!
The third song is Message in a Bottle by the Police. The music to the song is just fantastic and I love the lyrics… the guitar part is fantastic and the singing is amazing, enough said.
The fourth song is 2112 by Rush. I cannot say enough words to do justice to this song, the story is amazing and the music is fantastic, this song gave me a new outlook on life and made me love Rush more and more.
The fifth song is Nobody Home by Pink Floyd. I would have loved to have added the whole Pink Floyd The Wall CD to the playlist, but I limited myself to one song per artist. This song’s lyrics and the way it’s sung makes me shudder.
The sixth song is Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin. It was the first Led Zeppelin song I’ve ever heard and has been my favourite ever since.
The seventh is Mutter by Rammstein. I love this song, it’s so beautiful and the guitar chord is great, I can’t think of the words to describe it, every time I hear it I have a feeling of solitude and I fall into complete silence.
The eighth is Space Oddity by David Bowie. First off, I love David Bowie, he is one the best singers ever and he’s not too bad an actor either.
The ninth song is American Pie by Don McLean. The song is by all means a classic, the lyrics tell such a beautiful story and the chorus is so fun to sing along to.
The tenth song is Hotel California by The Eagles. I like this song because it reminds me of my father and his addiction. It makes me think of how he left nd never came back and it always makes me a little bit more hopeful that he’ll come to see me again some day.
The eleventh song is Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen. The song gets me pumped and and can turn a bad day into a good one. And that’s all I have to say about that.
The twelfth song is 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. All I have to say is that Chicago is just amazing. This song is the only song I can wake up to in the morning and my day not be ruined… it’s sort of a ritual, when waking up in the morning, listen to 25 or 6 to 4. The song gets the days going and makes me feel good.
The thirteenth song is Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. This song is one of my favourite anti-violence songs, it speaks to everyone’s heart and makes them want to drop their weapons and make peace.
The fourteenth song is In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. This song haunts me, the drum beat and Phil Collins voice… chills…
The fifteenth song is Ballroom Blitz by Sweet. If I ever get into a bar fight this song had better be playing, this song would be perfect for it!
The sixteenth song is Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy. I don;t really know why I like this song so much, but I really like the guitar’s sound and the vocals.
The seventeenth song is Touch Me by The Doors. I love this song, I love The Doors, and I love to sing this song. This song is awesome. Words over.
The eighteenth song is Helter Skelter by the Beatles. When I first heard this song, I had no clue that it was The Beatles, I thought it was some heavy rock group that the radio liked to play… I was wrong. I really enjoy listening to it though.
The nineteenth song is the Metal Gear Solid 3 Main Theme by Harry Gregson-Williams. Metal Gear Solid is the most most amazing game ever and the music for it is great. The fact is, Harry Gregson-Williams has done many great movie scores, from Shrek to The Chronicles of Narnia.
The twentieth is Devils Never Cry from Devil May Cry 3. I love this song’s composition, it starts off creepy, gets all metal-y, then gets into a fuge. Musical genius for a video game I tell you!
