My Playlist, My Self

 "Music can change the world because it can change people" -Bono

Songs have a huge impact in people's lives. No matter the genre, the singer, the lyrics, or anything, music in any sort benefits us. When we hear a song for the first time, we always make an unconscious connection with it, making us remember that particular moment in our lives.
In my personal case, there are five (and many more, for sure) songs that have a very special meaning in my life.

• 1.     Mi Caballito – Carlos Vives

The first one is important to me because it reminds me of the children parties that we would have in our neighborhood. We would always dance to this song because it was fun and playful. There were certain moves that we would dance to according to the lyrics, involving everyone at the party. 

• 2.     All of me – John Legend

The second song is very important because it was a dedication from my significant other. I first heard it almost a couple of years ago, sitting at the desk in my room. Now, it has become our hymn.

• 3.     Loca – Shakira

 The third one is a good representation of the Colombian talent, as it is known internationally. I heard it at party several years ago. 

• 4.     De que callada manera – La Sonora Ponceña

The fourth song is important to me because it was the first salsa song that I learned when I was in elementary school, as salsa plays an important role in my culture. We were asked to memorize and sing the lyrics in class. 

• 5.     More than words – Extreme

The last song is significant to me because it was the first English song that I learned when I was in high school. We were doing a fill-in-the-blank activity in class and had to practice some new vocabulary and grammar structures.
