- Cuando Te Bese by Becky G; "senti que toque el cielo, y no me equivoque, no" Almost four years later and it described us too well.
- Dance Hall Drug by Boys Like Girls; Antonette introduced me to them. Best friend bonding time.
- Epilogue by The Antlers; Summer 2012. Played late at night when it was too hot to sleep and too late to go out.
- Eres by Cafe Tacvba; 2003 and fascinated by the music video. 2013 and finally able to use the song as a way of describing how I feel.
- Euphoria by Blackbird Blackbird; Gabriel. "I feel like taking pills and getting high whenever I listen to this song"
- Ho Hey! by The Lumineers; Camp 2013. Someone took out a guitar on the last day and everyone gathered around the camp fire and sang this song until it was our turn to go home.
- Hometown Glory by Adele; Listening to this on my way to Richmond. It was late and I was on the highway on the 98 B-Line. I felt warm and safe.
- Hope for Now by City and Colour; Summer 2012. Crying in my cousin's bed due to homesickness.
- Islands by the XX; driving around Richmond with Vanessa, Karen, and Brittany. Freezing to death and drinking tea lattes and trying to visit museums (failing at that, too).
- The Kiss by The Cure; "I found a bunch of cassettes AND this cassette walkman" you were right, it sounded better.
- A Lack of Color by Death Cab for Cutie; Coming home from Seattle. Watching the sunset from the car, and for once not feeling anxious about being on the freeway.
- Lamento Boliviano by Los Enanitos Verdes; Late nights with my parents when I was younger. Mom would sing along to this song.
- Make You Feel by Alina Baraz; it sounded like the feeling of silk against my legs. Four years later I was alone in a club, but I was content.
- Misguided Ghosts by Paramore; Summer 2010. Listening to this song with brand new headphones late at night. Feeling like everything was alright.
- Normal Song by Perfume Genius; April 3rd, 2012: my biggest mistake. Crying, bleeding, alone in bed wishing someone would hold me.
- Oops! I Did It Again by Britney Spears; watching the music video over and over again with my cousin on MTV, learning the dance moves
- Out Getting Ribs by Zoo Kid/King Krule; Listening to "Hate run through my blood" and being hit by how relevant the song was. December 2012.
- Shyness by Thieves Like Us; I played this song over and over during the months we were apart to make me feel happy.
- The Wolves (Act I & II) by Bon Iver; Only song I recorded from the concert. I've only watched it once because my singing along ruined the moment. I remember thinking "this is it, I have nothing to live for anymore" but then changing my mind after such beautiful experience.
- Six years later, he played it again. I was bordering a dissociative episode because I was at the same place, but with different people. And I wasn't the same girl from 6 years ago, but sometimes I still felt just as broken.
