Music speaks to me. I've always had something inside of me that knows good music when I hear it and now I use it to make great playlists on Spotify. Music is one of the simple pleasures in my life. I listen to it often because it can affect your mood and how you view the world for that moment.

I have a wide rage of music I listen to. I have been influenced by family, friends, teachers and even strangers. There are many reasons why I like a song, because of a memory, a friend, a loss, a love and much more. Don't be surprised when this list goes through many different decades and genres.

Without further ado here are some of my favorite songs that I think everyone should give a chance.
