Assignment 23- Katelyn Rowell- Quarantine Playlist

 These past months in quarantine have definitely been different. Whenever somebody asks me what day it is, it honestly takes me a couple of seconds to figure it out. It’s easy for the days to blur together when your Tuesday is no different than your Friday. The playlist below contains songs that help to brighten the mood and lift that quarantine fog.

1. 3:15- Bazzi
This song conjures up memories of happier times before quarantine. One of the lyrics talks about running around East Lansing at night. When my sister first came home from MSU (which is in East Lansing), she would just listen to this song on repeat. For the first couple of days, this song was playing incessantly in my house. But, honestly, I didn’t mind because it takes me back to pre-quarantine times.

2. Don’t Stop Believin’-Journey

There really isn’t much to say about this song- it’s a classic. I don’t really remember when I heard it for the first time, but I can confidently say I recite the lyrics word for word. No matter what you’re doing, this song will put you in a better mood.

3.Classic-MKTO

Even though it came out seven years ago, this song remains a bop to this day. It takes me back to the days when my biggest worry was missing a new episode of Dance Moms.

4.Young & Alive- Bazzi

This song is pretty relaxed and keeps me looking forward to the day quarantine is lifted.

5. Shotgun- George Ezra

Like the other songs in this playlist, this song emits positive energy and makes you think of happy summer days.

6.Take Yours, I’ll Take Mine- Matthew Mole

This song is slower and definitely more relaxed, but it’s one of those songs you play while driving in the country with the windows down. You just feel happier after listening to it.
