Yeah, music has/brings a connection to people in your life. One of the main things I talk about with my family and friends is music. I do notice similarities in music preferences with my family and friends. I do also tend to think we have similar ideas and values, especially my family because we were all raised together. Music is one of those things that help people get through tough times as well and that brings connections with other people as well.
Smokepurpp (feat. NAV) – Phone. This song reminds me of a major life event in my life, probably the most memorable and something I will remember and take with me throughout my life. It was when my family and I were evicted from our home, and while we were dealing with that this song came out I am a big fan of NAV, and I had listened to it. So, every time I hear it it reminds me of that time. I am thankful for the position I am now in and the resilience my family and I had.
After Hours – The Weeknd. This song came out when COVID-19 first began, so not only me, but I am sure a lot of people can relate to this song being in the stay at home and just thinking about life. This album/song came out in perfect timing because it helped me during the COVID-19 times, and I bet many other people as well.
Be Something – Polo G. This captures my outlook on life. It explains that I want to be something and become something good for my family and me.
Me and My Guitar – A Boogie with a Hoodie. This song reminds me of a tough time mentally of where I was going in life, and if I would ever find someone to love. However, I know that it takes time and you have to find the right person.
Consistent – Lil Baby. I was in deep thought and had very little energy for school or anything. This song though reminded me why I started all this. I can not let anyone down, and I have to stay consistent.
Two-Face – NAV. It reminds me of my fitness journey. I used to be almost 300 lbs, and now I am 190lbs. It took hard work, and this song always reminds me of the hard work I have put in to get to where I am. However, I still am not where I want to be but still striving towards that goal.
I love music, and there are many more times that remind me of things and my connection with people.
