At a first glance I don’t understand the rationale or order of this playlist…It seems to be full of songs in no particular order, and not too many specific sounds that could hint at them being a University of Washington student. So rather than sitting here trying to think of reasons why they did this the way they did (which could take all day, and probably still turn out incorrect) I chose to use google as a tool to uncover the meaning behind these songs.

Number 1 on the list is “I wish I was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)” by Sandi Thom. I have never heard of this song, nor listened to it. When googling the lyrics though, I found some very powerful meaning behind it! These are some lyrics i particularly liked…

“When accountants didn’t have control
And the media couldn’t buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything”

This causes me to infer that this person is very opinionated about the crazy things going on in the media today. He/She would most likely dissaprove of Britney Spears’ crazy antics, or by the fact that we are so caught up in the daily activities of Paris Hilton. Technology has deffinitely taken over our world as well, I can’t say this person dissaproves, but maybe they are more artistic and into creativity rather than technical aspects of our world.

“Awkward Elevator Silence” causes me to believe this person may be quite shy or unfriendly? Striking up a convo with a random stranger would be outgoing…the exact opposite.

“Roomates cell phone alarm” shows me that they could possibly be living in a dorm somewhere on campus?

All of these songs on the playlist, I am noticing, are older or classic songs…I don’t quite know what this means other than this person has a different taste in music than I do.

“Barak Obama Iowa Caucus Victory Speech” could mean that this person is a supporter of Obama and very liberal. The last song “Things Will Change” by Modwheelmood, could also infer this same idea.
