Playlist Challenge #2

Hey Everyone

 

Wow we made is to playlist challenge number 2! Like I promised we have a new theme for you all! :o

 

The Mix is currently partnering up with TOMs. If you would like to find out more about The Mix partner with TOMs check it out here.


The Mix have decided that the next playlist will be themed around this. That is why the next theme is …

Strength

Image result for strength

 

The first playlist was such a success we have decided that each user who suggests song should only suggest 4 songs. This makes it a lot easier on us when we put the playlist together. Its cuts down the amount of time we spend putting together the playlist and give everyone the chance to have an even voice within the playlist.

 

I hope that you all have some songs fired up for this theme! The song I will give you as an example is one me and @Aife really like

Fight Song by Rachel Pattern


I can’t wait to hear some more suggestions on this theme!

    Clearly by Grace Vanderwaal
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Loving this month's playlist theme! All of your song suggestions are great! Fight Song is one of my favourites @Abigail

    Here's my song: 

    Three Little Birds - Bob Marley 

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Absolutely love that song. Brings back memories of 12 year old me learning ukulele and keyboard with the rest of my music class. My first song was that.

    Hey everyone 😊

    There has been some awesome suggestions for the playlist this month! I’ll definitely enjoy listening to the songs you all mentioned 💗

    I have put the link to the playlist so far, there is still time for more songs to be added for this months playlist if anyone wants to, it would be good to get a few more!

    Also I just thought that I would share a song that represents strength and it is Warrior by Demi Lovato 😊

    I have to agree. Had to do a dance to it in year 7. I ended up not doing the dance because 11 year old me had really bad anxiety when it came to dance.

    Omg Scars To Your Beautiful is an amazing song. You got the name of the other song correct  (if it starts with "Find table spaces, say your social graces. Bow your head, they're pious here. But you and I, we're pioneers, we make our own rules.")
