1. Describe yourself in one sentence.
Saying that: I’m but one part of the sum of all the beauty, majesty, and ingenuity of the physical universe, sounds better than telling you any mundane description; however I think this first part is highly likely to be true.

3.How would you describe this group of songs?
This group of songs I think is a blend of consistency and change (some songs sound different by the end/are more predictable than others). I think also that most have an element of surprise because at least one point in every song you can pause and notice some nuance be it a drastic change, an unexpected rhythm, or maybe even no change at all just one monotonous drone. Some are songs I’ve recently been listening too and some are all time “funeral playlist favorites.” They all also make use of one of my favorite things: REVERB
4.After you listen to them, what do you feel like, what mood does it put
you in?
I get a feeling of depth from these songs, kind of like a good anxiety (like something profound below my awareness is letting me taste it through these songs). They also put in me in a perceptive/reflective mood, I’ve come to some profound conclusions while having these songs in the background. I’d like to think these are the kinds of songs that you listen to during “existential crisis” or that I suspect you would really “feel” if you were on some hallucinogen.

I would like to think that this group of songs represents what I think about on a day to day basis but that tend to change so I guess today this describes me all too well.
4. After you listen to them, what do you feel like? What mood does it put you in?
After I listen to them I usually feel like I’ve lost something…time, maybe. I feel like I lost the time wisely. My mood would be nostalgic.

3. How would you describe this group of songs?
These songs are all songs that I keep going back and listening to time and time again. For me, they all attain a higher level of emotional power. All have very different emotional qualities, yet are all beautiful and moving, just in very different directions.
If anything, these songs describe the emotions that they create better than any words can. Perhaps that’s why I like them all so much, they are indescribable by any means other than experiencing them for yourself.
4. After you listen to them, what do you feel like? What mood does it put you in?
These songs make me feel many different emotions, but they all make me feel each emotion in a very strong and poignant way. I mostly end up feeling inspired to go and live.

3. How would you describe this group of songs?
I think this group of songs speaks a lot about my state of being right now. It’s a bit jumbled, and isn’t quite coherent. It’s a hectic time of year and this mix of songs sort of reflects all of the moods that I go through in an average day. Some of them are a bit dark, some of them are more upbeat.
4. After you listen to them, what do you feel like? What mood does it put you in?
These songs just sort of pump me up for some reason. All of them mean something to me in some strange way, or remind me of someone important, or helps me understand the mood I’m in. Listening to music definitely helps me arrange my emotions depending on what ends up moving me. Each of these songs provokes an unique mood.
