On Repeat: My Constant Chaos

For my first featured article about music, I wanted something chaotic. So I turned to my Spotify account.

There is one thing I will always find so beyond fascinating: looking through people's Spotify accounts.

I often get distracted by the cat memes on my Pinterest & I thought this was very cute <3

Now, I do acknowledge how personal someone's Spotify can be. Much like tastes in film and literature, someone's music tastes can heavily define them as a person. Customized playlists also play a large part in this picture (I'm a big fan of making playlists for anything and everything. You can check them out on my Spotify profile).

Going off of that thought, I figured that the custom On Repeat playlists curated by Spotify can show a lot about people's personalities. Myself included.

Originally, I wanted to show my top songs to you all with absolutely zero context, but for this I feel context is necessary.

So, here are my top 10 most recent songs I have had on repeat. I'll even add the link to the entire playlist will be at the end of this article.

I don't really know where to begin with this, but I hope you enjoy.

"Americano" - Lady Gaga	I blame this on my recent discovery of the scene from the first Puss in Boots movie. It's also just fun to walk across campus to. Plus it's Lady Gaga, I feel like I don't need to write an explanation for that.
2. "Smells Blood" - Kensuke Ushio	I've never seen a single episode of Devilman Crybaby. Ever. Maybe this is a sign to finally put it on my watchlist.
3. "The Heirs of the Dragon" - Ramin Djawadi	The soundtrack has always been my favorite part of Game of Thrones. I think this one popped up because I use to to write a lot.
4. "The Rumbling" - SiM	I always imagine what it would be like to listen to this song if I went to the gym. Maybe some day.
5. "Time" - Pink Floyd	I feel like this song is always on repeat for me. I've always been a big Pink Floyd fan, and I can't believe this album is 50 years old this year.
6. "Aerie" - Lena Raine	I know, I know. C418 is the best Minecraft music composer, or even the most nostalgic one for sure. I love what Lena Raine has been doing with the music for the new updates, and this one is one of my all-time favorites.
7. "Reign of the Targaryens" - Ramin Djawadi	The nostalgia hit big time with this one. Djawadi brought me back to the original Game of Thrones with hints of original Targaryen themes. Perhaps that's why it's so addicting.
8. "Fire in the Twilight" - Wang Chung	I love to imagine I'm in the hallway scene in The Breakfast Club. I even made a playlist curated for John Hughes fans on my Spotify.
9. "Cracker Island" - Gorillaz (feat. Thundercat)	I got into Gorillaz when I was about eight or nine, so their work is familiar and fun to me. This one specifically was just funky and a feel-good song.
10. "Con la Brisa" - Foudeqush, Ludwig Göransson	Honestly, I thought this one would still be higher on the list. I haven't stopped listening to this since Wakanda Forever came out in theaters. Even if you don't want to listen to any other song on this list, I highly recommend this one. It's very ethereal and dreamy.

I hope you enjoyed even a small part of this, because I know I enjoyed writing it. Here is my On Repeat playlist link, as promised: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EpibzsIbdgOg8?si=a72c57bb39be48b2

I'd love to know people's thoughts about the whole playlist, so let me know in the comments. Maybe in the future I'll do a feature about my Repeat Rewind, or some other playlist of mine.
