    Twenty One Pilots is an alternative/indie band made up of two members, Joseph and Josh Dunn. They are known to occasionally rap and include specific tempos and beats that correspond with each song’s thought provoking lyrics. In the song “Oh. Ms. Believer” by Twenty One Pilots they use the analogy of snow to describe a young girl going through depression. The band accurately describes the feeling of being trapped inside one's mind as they go through the hardships of this mental illness. Although at first this song may be interpreted as another cliché alternative hit, the meanings hidden beneath the lyrics are sure to tug at the listener's heart strings as he/she looks through the eyes of someone who struggles with a loved one who is depressed.…

    The next song is Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman. This is one of my favorite songs, because the sound of it speaks to my soul. It reached #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 making it Chapman’s biggest US hit to date. Although it is a break up song, it is more of a plea for a reason to not give up on the relationship. The conclusion of the song though is the partner stating that love was already proclaimed and there is nothing left to say.…

    On a bright spring day in 2015 I awoke to my alarm clock playing “I believe” by Nikki Yanofsky. Awaking to my alarm clock playing this song on a bright spring morning, five years after the 2010 winter olympic games brought me chills.

Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction.

Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…
