My Spotify Playlist

One of ABBA´s hits during the 80´s is the song Thank You for the Music.  Its lyrics stated so I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me.. Have you ever imagined our world without music?  I can´t! Music is a universal language of love, of genuine care and appreciation.  It is one element that binds us all together.  

In my bouts against anxiety, aside from meditation and basic yoga, music has been a crucial coping mechanism.  Thank you to brilliant team behind SPOTIFY! They were responsible for making music accessible to us, at all times.  Even when I am in the Madrid metro and there is no internet connection, my Spotify playlist is on the spot!! I was a later bloomer with Spotify. I subscribed to it, fairly recently, this year sometime  May 2018 jejeje.  I first tried the free trial period and then, subscribed to the promo of 0.99 centavos for the 3 months.  And now, I am paying the regilar premium rate. 

I would like to share with you my favorite Spotify playlists which are my go to, preferred music during my much needed quiet moments.  They are a combination of emotional, pop, therapeutic,sentimental, personal and pop music!  

1.  My Christmas Playlist which is a collection of what else! Christmas carols, from blues version, 60´s and 70´s, to the current pop Christmas songs. 

2.  My Christian, Worship Songs - God Is in Control, He is Exalted, The Warrior is a Child, etc. I always start the day listening to this playlist. :)  

3.  OPM - Original Filipino Music. I also have a specific Basil Valdez playlist.  

4.  Asian Pop Music:  What else! Of course, I have my F4 Music, the soundtracks and singles of my favorite Hallyu Star, Kim Soo Hyun and some of my favorite Korean Dramas!! I also have the piano collection of Yiruma.  

5.  Studio Ghibli soundtracks.  Studio Ghibli is a Japanese production responsible for the mainstream launch of Ponyo, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, etc.  They have soothing, relaxing and emotional soundtracks.  

6,  The best of the 80s and 90s.  Of course, afterall, I am an 80s kid.  I have depeche mode, orchestral maneuvers in the dark, fra lippo lippi, bananarama, madonna, hahahah!! 

7.  Cinema Paradiso:  Is a beautiful Italian movie that tackled the relationship between Toto and Alfredo. I first watched this movie when I was 12 years old.  The soundtrack by Enrico Morricone is just so sentimental and emotional! It evokes a lot of mixed feelings of happiness and sadness! 

8.  Broadway classics such as Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Rent. :)
