As excited as I am to start making this soundtrack of my (current) life, there are a couple things I know will make this difficult. The first being that I am SO INDECISIVE. This may seem like such a tedious thing to carefully weigh my pros and cons on whether a song makes the cut, but I really do care about this and want to make it right. I already struggle with making decisions efficiently in everyday life, sooooo we'll see how this goes. Another reason I feel this will be challenging is that many, (MANY) songs I love hold a lot of meaning to me, and even if they don't have a particular meaning or memory behind them, I listen to so much music. How am I ever supposed to narrow it down?? I do not understand how people can do this; (maybe because they don't overthink everything).
I have yet to follow through with adding any songs yet because I'm spending some time going through my other playlists to determine what belongs there. Do I include older music that I love just as much? Do I include songs I had on repeat sixth months ago, but don't really listen to now? Or, do I include songs I'm listening to right at this moment?
The more I talk about this, the more I realize how insignificant this might seem to a lot of people reading, but if anyone loves music and the excitement of finding new songs as much as me, maybe you'll get it.
I also encourage anyone who thinks they'd want to try this to do it. Or, if you could only choose one song, what would it be?

I want to do this! Except I, like you, am very indecisive... at least when it comes to music selection. There are days where I go full "Disney Channel Hits" and others where I find myself jamming out to Nirvana. There's really no in between. I feel like if I tried to create a top 25 list, it would NOT be cohesive whatsoever, but maybe I'll try it anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find in my music taste is I'm very picky. While my main playlist I listen to has around 55 songs on it, each one of them had to go through an American Idol-style competition and intense consideration to get on there. So while I've never sat down to make an "about me" playlist, I find that there is a lot to glean from what I have already.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try out this idea but feel that it would be near impossible! I have so many moods where I could vibing with the oldies, or rocking out to the new jams, times when I like bumping out to rap and other times I mix up the soft rap. I think i'm going to give this a try though and see how it turns out.
