Music of the soul
By: Juanita González 10°A
There's something poetic about hearing music on a rainy day, a sunny day, or basically at any moment. To feel the music in one's soul is something that we should all experience, but such things can just be accomplished with music that fulfills one's expectations. I'm lucky to say that I have discovered music throughout my life that with just a beat, a voice, and a melody can make me feel better again. Today, I'm going to share with you a few songs and why they belong to my ultimate favorites to help you create your own playlist.
The Adults are Talking: The Strokes have a selection of music worth listening to every day. “The Adults are Talking” is a contemporary masterpiece with a great mix of instruments where you can appreciate the bass and the drums. Besides this, you can also hear an amazing upbeat lyric that makes it easy for you to get the song tucked in your head all day.
Agua: Have you ever been friend-zoned? If you have, "Agua" is the song for you. Jarabe de Palo is an outstanding band that has given the world more than one hit to sing in the shower or at midnight in the car. “Agua” is a sad and meaningful song that carries in every word the excruciating pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back. This song is so good that although I have never felt this pain, I still sing the song as if it was written just for me.
Yesterday: I believe that in everyone's playlist, there should be at least one Beatles song. For me, this song is “Yesterday”. Leaving aside the beautifully slow rhythm and beat, that without a doubt deserves applause, we have a heart-aching lyric that will make even the stronger person shed a tear.
Bohemian Rhapsody: If I ever fall in love with someone, one of the main requirements that this man should have is loving Queen as much as I do. This band has outstanding hit songs for every mood, among them we have “Killer Queen”, “Fat Bottomed Girls”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and many more. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is probably their most hyped song, and without a doubt deserves all the recognition that it has received. It's not just a song, it's a story mixed with different musical styles that will surely make you sing and dance.
Stolen dance: This song is the one I listen to in my gloomy and stressful days. It has a great use of ups and downs of rhythm, causing a unique song that will make you dance until your feets hurt. When beat rises it is impossible not to follow the lyric and feel a chill flow through all of your body. For me, this song is a must have in every upbeat mood playlists.
If I had more space, there's no doubt I could keep talking about every song that has stolen my heart since day one. Take a chance and listen to these songs, so you can create an amazing playlist that both represents and makes you groove even in the rainiest days.
