What Songs Would Be On A Mixtape That Describes You?
I’m currently reading Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult. This is the first novel I’m reading by this author and it’s really good so far. I’m loving the way the author incorporates music into the story. There is a question the main character, Zoe, asks that intrigued me personally as a music lover: “What songs would be on a mixtape that describes you?”
I thought about the question and the music that I enjoy and came up with twelve songs.
- Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_N7aps6Tlc
- Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UeeIAJ0a0
- Blackbird by The Beatles- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7epRPz0LGPE

- The Boy Who Drank Stars by Joe Hisaishi (look at the video description and go to track twenty-five; couldn’t find a video for the song by itself)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3LHcVlGYmk

Ooooh that’s a cool question. Also it depends, in terms of ‘describing you’ whether it means songs that actually sum you up as a person and your experiences or whether it’s songs you just like…?

The songs I chose are the songs that sum me up as a person, but they are also songs I like

You can think about your answers like I did, lol. Say, is Superchick a song or a band? I have two songs from the band on my ipod
