My World Told By Music



Milwaukee Friends - Photo Taken by Necy Watson


The first song has 3 of my friends from Milwaukee in it. These men introduced me to rap in one of the best ways… Live! I would go to their shows and they would preform different sets showing off their own different skills. I miss Milwaukee and all of them every single day. After this song the rest I found in high school or after. They would help me through my toughest times and just for fun while waiting for the bus.

Personally I am a lover of musical theater so I loved that Netflix had Phantom of Opera (not the movie version). I watched it for a month straight after school.

The third song is one I listened to when I had a girlfriend for a little while. I also enjoyed listening to a guy sing about his sudden need to get condoms in song.

 Naruto is a really good series and while it has a lot of fillers and 19 seasons it has different openings all amazing in their own way. The third is my favorite I would listen to while waiting for the bus in Milwaukee.

Sometimes my boyfriend and I don't get along. One of my friends played Marceline's Full band version "I'm just your problem" and I fell in love with it. It embodied how I feel and I'm sure how he feels sometimes.

I worked two jobs in Milwaukee when not working at summer camp. I hated them, my supervisors were rude all the time, but there were a few who weren't.  Poison really embodied how I felt after work when tired and frustrated whether it was dealing with costumers or just with my managers it always helped me get through it. 

 Mouthwash by Kate Nash reminds me of how I feel about my body. She points out various different features to the listener which could be taken as positive or negative. Sometimes I'm really positive about my body and sometimes I'm not.

 Evanescence is my top favorite band, I love it for the lead singer Amy Lee. Cloud Nine is one of the songs not many have heard because it wasn't played on the radio. It's just a really good song that shows off her talent.

My playlist says a lot about who I am and what I stand for. I have a song my friends made. These songs all got me through a lot of hard times that most people wouldn't assumed based off of the first time meeting me. I picked these songs for a reason to kind of place myself in the music. I think they speak a lot about my character. How fun loving, relaxed, goofy, and nerdy I am and can be. What they wouldn't learn is that I am bisexual. Outside of that I think the songs speak a lot about me.

The assumptions made based off my playlist might be that I have bad taste in music.
 My taste in music would be connected to my optimistic view of the world, and my life. The music that I have chosen is complex. Similar to life because life has its up and its downs. I always look for the good in everything. Anime soundtracks is an example because to me it sounds like a journey from start to finish. In this life we all go through our own journey. This sound track is mine.

  1. Hello Jenna,

    I really enjoyed reading your post! I'm guessing that the first song on your list is one of the songs your friend produced and let me say your friend definitely got talent. I really got to say you just introduced me to a few songs that should have been introduced to my life earlier! As a dancer, while listening to your songs the only thing I could think of was making a dance to them! lol Great job!

    1. Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you took the time to listen to my music and enjoyed it. My friends are talented people. I used to dance so I also tend to think of dances to the songs I listen to. Sadly I have no skill and can only imagine someone actually skilled. If you ever use their music let me know! I'd love to see what you do <3

  2. Hey Jenna,

    Your friends are very talented. As someone who enjoys rap I thought that they were very exciting to listen to and watching them live must have been awesome. I watched Naruto when I was younger so that was a blast from the past and definitely brought back memories of a cool show. Overall it was a cool list and I enjoyed listening to it.
