A 90s’ Baby With 50s’ Faves
I was born in 1995, and I have a wide variety of favorite music. From the 20s to the 2000s. The music of the 50s makes me feel alive differently like I am going back in time in an era I’ve never been. Then again, who doesn’t like the classic older music? Especially jazz and rock and roll playing in the background of a movie, bars and some casinos.

Why You Need A Sad Songs Playlist In Your Life
It is my humble opinion that sad songs make the world go round. There is nothing like blasting your ear drums to the song that touches your inner soul - we all have one. You know, the song you played over and over again when you broke up with your first love, or the song that speaks directly to you at your saddest. There is nothing like that feeling of being completely seen by someone else's words, when you're at your most vulnerable or low.

As an avid music lover, I began this challenge by previewing some of the playlists that had been created by the other participants. This led to one important question:

Lets hit the books! But do it with a beat. Ok.. studying is not my favorite term. Two years ago, I wrote my very first vocal article titled "Why I can't stand education anymore" which surprisingly has been my most read article to this date. But during that time, I hated studying so much. Only because I wasn't passionate enough about the courses that was I taking and simply didn't choose the right career path for me. Fast forward two years later, I'm finally doing a course that I love (french patisserie) that does require me to do a lot of studying around the topics given. I've been doing this course for three weeks now, which means I've done quite a few study sessions on my days off and I have to say I've noticed I'm more focused and empowered whilst studying if I have a good playlist with a mix of motivational songs that are followed by songs with a good beat that can be good distraction whilst taking a break. So I'm about to share with you my top songs to listen to before studying a session and during your study break. Don't get me wrong, all these songs listed below gets me in the mood to study throughout the day but there are three particular songs in both of the categories that I must listen to for a study session as they push me forward to get me to the final result and what I'm working towards in the end. So are you ready for my brain power playlist? I also highly recommend that you try listening to these songs during your study session if you have R&B/ hip-pop taste and our into the late 1990s and early 2000"s and some of these songs stated below are from these musical era's. They also might keep your going during your study days.

Number one on the list is Turnpike Troubadours, I have yet to hear music from them that I do not like. They are a perfect blend of unforgettable lyrics and pleasant melodies that won't annoy your co-workers. We went to their concert a couple years ago with friends at this teeny bar in a shady part of Salt Lake City and they are so good live! Like, So. Good. So much talent that you can't help but fall in love. At the time I did not know what to expect, my husband finds these bands and I was just along for the ride but am so glad that I was introduced to these guys. There is nothing better than a band that sounds just as good, or better live, as they do in the studio. Now we are just stuck waiting for them to get back to performing, the lead singer was going through some personal struggles the last that I heard and my selfish self just wants to see them live again. Not that the Pandemic is helping the situation.
Amber NelsonPublished 4 years ago in BeatGirl, Put Your Records On
The origin of my favorite music is rooted in a garage sale. There I was in the middle of summer, not going to waterparks or hanging by a poolside, but rather organizing my mom's garage sale. After the divorce, we had to save up whatever money we could to prepare for the big move to Florida. My mom focused on packing all the junk in the basement while I took the role of selling all our items (she was a horrible saleswoman). While negotiating back and forth like a crazy car sales worker, I was able to sell a lot of our unnecessary belongings. Towards the end of the sale, we were desperate. My mom was telling me to sell just about anything not vital, even if it had sentimental value. I watched strangers carry away items I had known my whole life to be part of my home. Finally, my mom brings out a big box of vinyls. Although we did not have a record player, my mother seemed to have collected a decent range of "old fashion" music. I saw her grief as she insisted I sell them. As she continued her work inside, I decided to spare the vinyls. As if I was the Grinch on Christmas Eve, I secretly stuffed the vinyls in my boyfriend's house for safekeeping.

By now, I'm sure everybody knows what an emotional journey getting through work and school can be. Especially working from home and attending virtual classes. There is no longer such a thing as a "school" playlist or a "work" playlist; it depends on my mood. Whether I'm motivated, focused, energetic, sad, or (what usually happens) a strange combination of those I have playlists on standby. Seriously, I feel like Spotify is one new playlist away from sending me an email saying "You alright, love?" So, I've pared down 5 of those playlists for you to get your own mood-board-playlists started because you simply can never have enough.

I was born into a family of musicians. My dad played lead guitar for a rockabilly band in historic Lexington, Kentucky during the early 1970's and my mom's brothers played Bluegrass Music in a band in the scenic Appalachian foothills of eastern Kentucky. Both of my grandfathers were musicians along with all their brothers, sisters, and children.

Back when I was in university all-nighter studing or working on projects were tough but a requirement to get my grades. I prepared myself to endure the night with healthy treats and water to keep me going. But with all sorts of preparation, music was my go to for all-nighters. The key is to find the right kind of tracks to keep me fresh, motivated, and energetic though the nights. I will share a few of my tracks to help you though the nights as I experienced during university. Just as a fyi, even after my graducation I keep these tracks to help me going though my days.
