Now, due to a construct in my mind

That makes these songs and their lyrics,

Symbolic of my entire existence.

It becomes important for me,

To make a playlist.*

Inspired by Nat, I've compiled a list of songs that were written for and/or about me. Basically, tunes that either perfectly capture what the voice in my head wishes it could say or somehow describe my life experiences with eerie accuracy. Not to be confused with my "Favorite Songs Ever Ever Ever" playlist, which is coming soon. And this, kids, is what I do after midnight.

HEY, YOU CAN LISTEN ON THE GROOVESHARK!

Also here's the designated coverart and tracklist with blurbs so I can look back at this post in 20 years and giggle. Oh, life.
