I’ve always been into music. I love that feeling when you hear a song and it really resonates with you - when you feel connected to a song’s message, almost on a spiritual level.

Everyone has those select few songs that are not only on all of their playlists, but whenever they come on, even if you’ve heard it a million times, you feel compelled to sing along with more soul than Aretha. You might tell your friends that these specific songs just represent your life. They get you, almost as if they were written specifically for you.

For fun, I thought I’d share mine because I feel like you can learn a lot about a person this way. And because I think it might be fun to just make the list for myself. So here’s a list of 6 songs that I feel just get me; maybe some of them might just get you, too.

Obviously with every song there is tons of wiggle room for interpretation and that’s true for these, too. You might disagree with my analysis, but this is what I’ve taken from them and how I’ve applied these 6 songs to my every day life. These are some of my favorite songs ever made and even as my mantra songs change as I get older, I doubt I’ll ever make a Spotify playlist without these on it. Music is good for the soul, so find those songs that speak to you, and play on.
