Assignment 23 - Angela Tseng

To be completely honest I don't think I've ever put together a playlist other than one just of all the songs I like. I've never had the need to put together a playlist for a specific occasion and to add to that, I often just add music that sounds nice to me, very rarely is it for a specific reason like the lyrics. However, if I had to put one together, I'd probably put one together for something lame, like sleeping.

1 : Fall Asleep by Us would probably be the first song on my playlist. Not just because of the name or the fact that pretty much everything by Us is amazing but because it's a good way to transfer from the day and start to lull you to sleep as it's pretty slow and peaceful with really nice harmonies throughout.

2 : Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean would be next on my playlist for very similar reasons as Fall Asleep. The song to me while still kind of pop-y is slower than most and doesn't have many loud random sounds and the melodies are soothing.

3 : Next on the list is Ry Cuming's Heartbreak. The song is very soft and peaceful with mostly just his voice with a kind of minimalistic instrumental background which makes it very pleasant to listen to. In addition his voice is very clear and has a calming tone to it.

4 : Next to last on the list is Wicked Games by The Weekend, although this is probably more of a personal preference. There's some kind of loud percussion-y parts (?) in this song that could make it hard for other people to fall asleep but I would find no problem with it and it's a very slow and kind of lazy sounding song that would help you relax your mind.

5 : A piano cover of Bastille's Pompeii would probably be the last song on the list as this is what I often listen to when I go to sleep. I listen to a version by someone on Youtube that he made by ear which means it's unique from most others and I find the way that he plays is very soothing and gentle which makes it a perfect ending song.
