23 About Me | Daily Prompt: Mix Tape Masterpiece

You make a new friend. Make them a mix tape (or playlist, for the younger folks) that tells them who you are through song.

I actually have done this at least three times.

When I did this the first time, I thought that introductions online and in person could only say so much since there’s so little time. A good number of my friends love music so I compiled songs for them and burned those onto a CD/DVD. I personalized each one according to the friend I was doing it for—it was more for them than for me.

But, since this would be my introduction through songs, here is my playlist:

1. (Everybody’s Free) Wear Sunscreen – Baz Luhrman
2. 40 Acres – Caedmon’s Call
3. Alapaap – 6cyclemind
4. Another Believer – Rufus Wainright
5. Dancing in the Moonlight – Toploader
6. Fun, Fun, Fun – Pharell Williams
7. Good Time – Owl City featuring Carly Rae Jepsen
8. Have a Nice Day – Stereophonics
9. Here’s to Never Growing Up – Avril Lavigne
10. Houdini – Foster the People
11. If You Get Scared – D’Sound
12. Island in the Sun – Weezer
13. Lucky Me – Batchelor Girl
14. Mountain Wind – True Faith
15. Say – John Mayer
16. Summer Parade – Depapepe
17. Testing 1, 2, 3 – Bare Naked Ladies
18. The Animal Song – Savage Garden
19. Typical – Mutemath
20. Walking Home – Labuyo
21. What You Wish For – Guster
22. With a Smile – South Border
