This playlist I made because something happened within my apartment and I made this playlist to help myself go to sleep, because I cried myself to sleep due to being accused of being the problem. Photos are all from Pinterest.
I used the website songfacts.com for the facts of music and I put down what the song means to me also.
- Butterfly Effect – Travis Scott
Butterfly Effect is a concept that small causes can have large effects. This song also talks about Travis Soctt’s Luxuorious Lifestyle.
For Me: The music and sound of his voice, the combination really calm me down no clue why but it does.

For Me: I in my mind’s eye, can see the sun rising. The yellows and oranges filling the sky. Running around dancing in the sun. So much optimisim.
4. Honey, I’m Good – Andy Grammar
Apparently another song on this album titled “Holding Out” you hear about him saving himself and on “Honey, I’m Good” is about what he has to do to keep it and all the temptations.

5. Your Body Is A Wonderland – John Mayor
John Mayor said this song is about his first girlfriend at 14.

In a commentary that goes track by track Sam Harris says the following,” It’s a kind of song about that feeling that you get you from another person where it’s beyond the point of you just being infatuated with them, you know, in love with somebody. It’s that they make you feel so great.”

23. Scars to Your Beautiful – Alessia Cara
Alessia Cara said it best before premiering performance September 28, 2015 at the Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas.
“The standards that we have to kind of face as young women in everyday life just to feel, or look a certain way, or act a certain way, because there’s a lot of pressure being a young girl, and just girls and women in general. So I wanted to make a reminder to just love yourself and appreciate yourself no matter what.”
She made it all inclusive too…….
“I wanted all kinds of people – young, old, whatever the situation, whether it’s visible scars – just a bunch of different women, and there are some men in there as well because it can reach out to guys too.”
For Me: SELF CONCIOUS ISSUES
