This is a response to 3 Reasons To Make Playlists For Your Loved Ones
Music can be used for many different things. It can be a conversation starter, an outlet for your emotions, or something to liven up a party or a car ride. Music can also be used to express yourself, especially if you have difficulty expressing yourself with words. But, one of the best uses of music is making playlists. Whether it is for yourself or for someone special, a playlist can have so much more meaning to it than words can sometimes. It can show more thoughtfulness behind it and even strengthen relationships. Making a playlist can be time-consuming though with the focus on creating the perfect tracklist and finding songs that apply to the vibe that you are trying to go for. However, the payoff is worth the effort. I love seeing the reactions of people when I make them a playlist. It's like a modern-day mixtape. Decades ago, young people would make mixtapes to confess their feelings for that special someone, and teens and young adults still do it today but with playlists. Want to make a cute playlist for your crush? Here are some songs that can help get your point across.
Dandelions - Ruth B.
Ruth B. released her debut album, Safe Haven, in 2017 with Dandelions being the second track on the album. Five years later, the song would have a renewed interest and ended up blowing up on TikTok and reaching a platinum certification in the United States. The song is slow and sweet and very cute. It is the perfect song for a crush.
Favorite Lyric: I'm in a field of dandelions, wishing every one that you'll be mine
I Wanna Be Yours - Arctic Monkeys
Most people know I Wanna Be Yours from Arctic Monkeys' 2013 album, AM. But, the opening verses and song title actually originate from a 1982 poem by an English performance poet, John Cooper Clarke. I Wanna Be Yours would become popular once again after blowing up on TikTok. It makes a great alternative love song
Favorite Lyric: Secrets I have held in my heart, are harder to hide than I thought. Maybe I just wanna be yours, I wanna be yours
Video Games - Lana Del Rey
Video Games was released in 2011 as the first single for Lana Del Rey's 2012 sophomore album, Born To Die. Video Games was well received and even ranked as number nine on the 100 Best Songs of The 2010s list by the music publication Pitchfork. Some say this is a love song, while others argue that it is a sad song. I think that it is a little bit of both but sadness aside, it's a romantic song.
Favorite Lyrics: I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you
