    Taylor Swift - How Did it End

    Not for the actual message of the song but for the climax of the song, especially the line “My beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, d-y-i-n-g” but basically the whole phrase before as well. I listened to this song a lot during the grieving for my passed cat. I could notice my brain making up my cat sitting somewhere close and looking at me from time to time, like a little ghost, caring for me. I can still “summon” her at will, obviously not really but the image of her.

    And as a more light hearted one: System Of a Down - Chop Suey

    Back in school i listened to a lot of rap, because i was very influenced by my older brother. That is until my friend group discovered the game Rock Band after gifting it to one friends birthday. I got obsessed with this game because it was so fun to play “instruments” and sing together with friends. Chop Suey especially really pulled me in and i eventually got really into metal through it.

    Nowadays I’m always the person of my friend groups listening to the most genres on Spotify wrapped but back in school where the cool kids only listened to one genre this was a big deal. Also because it marked me getting away from my brother’s influence.
