Anthem can somehow coincide with a

11

:

breakup or an uplifting tune seems to

attract those hopeful and happy moments.

12

It's almost like the universe has

a plan in Playlist of its own.

empowering anthems that get us through

28

:

Let's make this journey together.

29

:

Alexandra: Okay.

30

:

So impactful songs and their stories,

Christine, what are your top three songs

31

:

that you've been listening to recently?

32

:

And why do these songs resonate with you?

33

:

Christine: So this is an, this is a hard

one for me just because I like so many

34

:

things, but right now I was joking with

Alexander before we started recording

35

:

that one of the current songs that

have, that has been like on repeat in

36

:

my head is the carriage scene song from

Bridgerton, if you know, you know, but

37

:

that arrangement was, it was really funny.

38

:

Like when I was watching

that through the first.

39

:

5, 000 times.

40

:

There would be times during the

day where that was just like the

41

:

soundtrack in my head, just on a loop.

42

:

But more seriously, I've recently,

43

:

I feel like when summertime comes

around, that's when I go through

44

:

phases in terms of the artists that

I really sort of like hook onto.

45

:

And right now I'm really

vibing with Lana Del Rey and.

46

:

One of her songs that I think

is a newer song of hers.

47

:

It's called Say Yes to Heaven.

48

:

So that's, I think I'll say is

one of my top three songs that

49

:

I've been listening to recently.

50

:

And then maybe I'm going to

switch this instead of songs.

51

:

I'll talk about artists.

52

:

So Lana Del Rey I'm changing

the rules, Alexandra.

53

:

Alexandra: you're never

allowed to do that.

54

:

Christine: So Lana Del

Rey say yes to heaven.

55

:

I listened to a podcast the other day

that Was an interview with Demi Lovato

56

:

and her most recent album that came out

a few years ago is called Holy Fuck.

57

:

She's got a song on that called City

of Angels, which like, I just love.

58

:

There's those songs that you love to

rock out to in the car and that for me

59

:

is one of them I love screaming along to

it Singing along to it as i'm driving.

60

:

So that's another one and then one that

I caught myself singing yesterday And I

61

:

honestly, I'm sure I've listened to this

song through, but too sweet by hosier,

62

:

I feel like has just been everywhere,

but I catch myself singing it a lot

63

:

because damn, is that a good hook?

64

:

So I would say those are my top three, the

artists that came to mind in their songs.

65

:

How about you, your turn?

66

:

Yeah.

67

:

Alexandra: so I'm actually looking

through my playlist right now.

68

:

I think I just recently played or top 25.

69

:

Okay.

70

:

So one of my favorite is I actually heard

it on a cool down ride when I was doing

71

:

on the Peloton, I think a couple of years

ago and it's Acoustic by Billy Rafoul.

72

:

And I just love the vibe.

73

:

It's just kind of sweet.

74

:

It kind of seems like talking

about making that like your

75

:

own acoustic with your partner.

76

:

So very much.

77

:

Yeah.

78

:

Me.

79

:

I love that.

80

:

And I'm trying to get to the next one.

81

:

I really like high hopes

by panic at the disco.

82

:

That makes me very much a pump up

song in terms of if I, you know,

83

:

I kind of cut to a point where I'm

like, should I lower my standards?

84

:

Should I do something?

85

:

And it's no, keep reaching higher and,

you know, pushing yourself to get there.

86

:

So I like those two songs.

87

:

And I will get into it later.

88

:

Quite not the vibe I want in

terms of a relationship, but the

89

:

song Heat Waves by Glass Animal.

90

:

I like that sound, that, It's just very

not moody, but just very kind of gets

91

:

into your skin and the rhythm is good.

92

:

But then also I think I've mentioned

before, I really enjoy EDM music.

93

:

So you know what was when I've listened

to recently, it's, I think it's called

94

:

smiley and it just makes me kind of happy.

95

:

So anything that you can just

kind of really jam out to,

96

:

but those were my top five Two or three.

97

:

And yeah, because then you can either

make me really feel really good maybe,

98

:

or remind me what I'm working towards.

99

:

Not so much.

100

:

He waves with

101

:

the

102

:

other two.

103

:

Christine: Yeah.

104

:

And actually, as you were talking that

that got me started thinking about

105

:

okay, so the songs I mentioned are

like my current favorites, but like

106

:

my typical go like feel good songs or

like ones that I love to chill out to.

107

:

So loved this song ever since

college shut up and dance with

108

:

me when that song comes on, man.

109

:

Do I want to dance?

110

:

It's just

111

:

Alexandra: And we did a dance

routine, didn't we on dance team?

112

:

Christine: I don't know if we

did a dance routine, but it was

113

:

part of the recital playlist.

114

:

I remember that song came

115

:

Alexandra: Cause I

definitely remember it being

116

:

Christine: Yeah.

117

:

That song came out, I think

junior or senior year of college.

118

:

And.

119

:

It's still to this day, one of

my favorite feel good songs.

120

:

Another one that just makes me feel

happy and reminds me of summertime is

121

:

danced in the moonlight by particularly

that the cover by top loader.

122

:

Love that song, man.

123

:

It's so good.

124

:

And then when I, my last song

that I'll mention and then we can

125

:

move on It's called silence by

marshmallow and Khaleed, I think.

126

:

Yeah.

127

:

Marshmello and

128

:

Alexandra: hmm.

129

:

Christine: There's something about that

song where it makes me feel so at ease.

130

:

Like I'll put that on and it's

like the melody and Khaleed's voice

131

:

so much.

132

:

So yeah, there's a little

bonus for everybody.

133

:

Okay.

134

:

Why do these songs resonate with you?

135

:

The ones that you've mentioned,

you have anything else to add?

136

:

I know you kind of.

137

:

Talk to it a little bit, but is

there anything else you want to?

138

:

Alexandra: I, okay.

139

:

So I thought of another song hands clap

by Fitz and the tantrums was another one

140

:

that kind of, kind of crosses the line

of the Upbeat kind of more EDM type.

141

:

But also really resonate

with, I don't know.

142

:

I like those songs because they make

me feel something and they make me

143

:

feel something positive versus make me

feel like I'm working something out.

144

:

So I remember gosh, it was years after I

broke up with a guy, but like some of the

145

:

times relationship stuff sticks around

for a while and you haven't dealt with it.

146

:

But the song ABCDFU by, I think, Gayle

was a song that really kind of helped

147

:

me express some of the anger about

that relationship and go yeah, it's

148

:

okay to be angry that this person

wasn't what I thought they would be.

149

:

And just be like, you know, fuck you.

150

:

So I like songs that make me,

I don't know, feel something or

151

:

resonate with parts of my life or

help me get into a better state.

152

:

And then EDM just always

makes me feel good.

153

:

It's funny.

154

:

If I really need to get pumped up

about something like, okay, I'm

155

:

gonna pump myself up to go and walk

in super hot weather because guys,

156

:

listeners, I am not a fan of the heat.

157

:

So if I have to do that, like I

need something to pump me up to go.

158

:

But then also just if I want to

feel good or work something through.

159

:

So that's kind of why

I resonate with those.

160

:

I feel like there was like lullabies

and songs from a childhood that

161

:

bring up very vividly those things.

162

:

You know, memories.

163

:

I feel like Greensleeves is one of

164

:

them.

165

:

Just like that.

166

:

I remember that playing

when I was younger.

167

:

I honestly don't.

168

:

Enya.

169

:

Oh my gosh.

170

:

Fucking love Enya.

171

:

You bring up Enya.

172

:

It makes me feel good.

173

:

It makes me feel calm.

174

:

It can pump me up.

175

:

But it's also very visceral.

176

:

My mom used to play

that for me when I was a

177

:

child a lot.

178

:

I'd fall asleep to Enya.

179

:

So.

180

:

That's kind of why I usually

like to feel a connection to

181

:

the songs that I'm singing.

182

:

And then sometimes it's

like a really good beat.

183

:

And then I'm like, okay,

the words could go away.

184

:

I don't care

185

:

about those or These words are great.

186

:

This beat sucks.

187

:

Christine: Yeah.

188

:

Alexandra: So that's why Christina, you

mentioned like the song by Marshmallow and

189

:

Khalid, but what else makes you resonates

with either certain artists or songs

190

:

Christine: So for me, a lot of it kind

of does have to do deal with the time

191

:

that I hear the song and where I'm at

in my life and what I'm going through.

192

:

So like for instance dancing in the

Moonlight or she up and dance with

193

:

me, there's a lot of like nostalgia

around those and I think about oh, like

194

:

dancing shut up and dance with me in

particular that was a time where I was

195

:

having so much fun with my friends and

we were young and free and it just,

196

:

it brings me back to that moment.

197

:

And then to your point about how

you were talking about looking back

198

:

on things when you were growing

up and lullabies that you, Think

199

:

back on for me, there was an album.

200

:

My mom had I don't know how she

picked it up, but there it's

201

:

called water's edge by Tim Janice.

202

:

I think I'm saying his name, right.

203

:

And my mom would put that

in when we were in the car.

204

:

And I still listen, I downloaded it

and I still listen to it sometimes.

205

:

And I'm like struggling to fall

asleep or Trying to quiet my mind.

206

:

It, I hear that music and I

almost, well, one, it always

207

:

mellowed me and my sisters out.

208

:

I remember my mom would put that on while

we were driving home from like dinner

209

:

and it was late and she was like, okay,

I need these kids to calm the fuck down.

210

:

So she put that CD on.

211

:

I don't know.

212

:

I'll be interested to see, to ask my

sisters if they remember this like

213

:

I do, but I still pop that on when

I need to help quiet my mind down.

214

:

I was mentioning to Alexandra actually

that lately I've been struggling.

215

:

Sometimes I go through bouts of insomnia.

216

:

I'm in one currently.

217

:

And you know, this album in particular

kind of helps me quiet my mind and

218

:

sort of shut out the world in a way.

219

:

So, yeah That's one that has a

really, that really resonates with me.

220

:

But just to your point, the songs that

I, the other songs that I've listed,

221

:

they have, they just connect me to

a time when I first heard them and

222

:

how I was feeling in those moments.

223

:

And they typically bring me a

lot of joy make me feel good.

224

:

And then we'll get into it, but there is

like songs that I, when I need to feel

225

:

the feels are like, Need to cry something

out that I put on and I just sing along

226

:

to and the next thing I know I'm really

It helps me work through stuff music In

227

:

general helps me work through a lot of

things helps me make sense of life in a

228

:

lot of ways I mean I studied it in school.

229

:

So I definitely was like this.

230

:

This is something that

means a lot to me but

231

:

Alexandra: I'm trying to think of a song.

232

:

I think it's oh, the song Hello

by Martin Solving and Dragonette,

233

:

it was also around the time that

Pumped up kicks that song was

234

:

really popular.

235

:

But I feel like particularly, I mean,

both of those songs, but hello will

236

:

bring me right back to being like

a teenager, right around college.

237

:

But it makes me think of

Hollister stores because I feel

238

:

like that was always playing

239

:

Christine: Oh my gosh, yes

240

:

Alexandra: but I do that song.

241

:

Hello.

242

:

So, but we were talking

about visceral, like

243

:

things that kind of pull us back in time.

244

:

Christine: well, it's so funny, like how

there's certain things like sense memory,

245

:

like songs evoke that for people takes

you right back to that time when you first

246

:

heard that song or something like that.

247

:

But just thinking about.

248

:

We have, there's a question here of,

can we share a story where a song

249

:

played a significant role in your life?

250

:

And immediately I thought of back when I

was in middle school, everybody, I don't

251

:

know when this song originally came out.

252

:

I think it came out years before I

first found it and became obsessed with

253

:

it, but it's called, I hope you dance.

254

:

I'd have to look up the artist.

255

:

Hang on.

256

:

Let me look up.

257

:

But I remember this was like,

I think eighth grade year.

258

:

So it was a time when I was

about to go enter high school and

259

:

start the next phase of my life.

260

:

And this song just.

261

:

Always, it helps me sort of,

I know it's kind of cliche

262

:

and Oh, it's by Leanne Womack.

263

:

That's right.

264

:

I hope you dance by Leanne Womack.

265

:

So it's kind of a cliche song, but it

at that time it was so important to me.

266

:

And I remember driving

in the car with my mom.

267

:

And I'd be like, mom,

can I play this song?

268

:

I just really need to listen to it.

269

:

And it became a really important

song for me at that time.

270

:

I don't know if it necessarily

still has that significant

271

:

of a role in my life, but.

272

:

Yeah, just seeing that question.

273

:

I was like, Oh, I know exactly

the song I want to bring up.

274

:

How about you?

275

:

Alexandra: Well, it's funny because,

you know, I'm actually just, when I

276

:

said Look at album, like album artwork.

277

:

And I'm seeing, I think when I was,

you know, early before high school,

278

:

early high school, definitely very

angsty, very into the alternative stuff.

279

:

And so I'm seeing like Adam Lambert

280

:

and Alison Arrieta and AFI here.

281

:

And I'm like, Ooh, I was moody.

282

:

But You know, they were kind of

the things that got me through.

283

:

I also find a lot of songs and music I

like oh, we might talk about that later.

284

:

So I'll hold on to that, but yeah,

they're just kind of just by chance

285

:

on the radio or TV shows, movies.

286

:

But yeah I was just looking at

some of these and I'm like, oh

287

:

my gosh, even the album artwork

kind of brings up, I'm like, oh,

288

:

yep.

289

:

Remember those experiences?

290

:

Oh, yeah.

291

:

So I think we would be here for

three plus days if we were to

292

:

Christine: I know.

293

:

I actually opened up my Apple music,

which I haven't opened up in forever.

294

:

And I'm just looking through the different

playlists I have going back to college.

295

:

Cause that was really the last time I used

this before I moved it over to Spotify.

296

:

Seeing the dance recital playlists.

297

:

And the songs that were

like really big at the time.

298

:

Oh my gosh.

299

:

That song Heathens by 21 pilots.

300

:

Do you remember that

301

:

Alexandra: Oh yeah.

302

:

Christine: It was such a vibe.

303

:

Alexandra: 21 pilots.

304

:

Christine: Yes.

305

:

Music by 21 pilots.

306

:

But then I'm just laughing at myself.

307

:

I have three playlists called my time.

308

:

And there was like my time,

part two, my time, part three.

309

:

Alexandra: I can't get rid of the

old ones, but I have to Oh my gosh.

310

:

Like airplanes by B.

311

:

O.

312

:

B.

313

:

That brings me back to

like high school dances.

314

:

Christine: Wow.

315

:

Yeah.

316

:

So how about lyrics?

317

:

Are there any lyrics that

stand out to you the most?

318

:

Alexandra: Okay.

319

:

So, Have you seen the Amazon Prime

Cinderella with Kamiya Kabeo?

320

:

Christine: No, I

321

:

haven't.

322

:

Alexandra: It was an interesting movie.

323

:

I like watching different

Cinderella version movies.

324

:

Christine: Yeah.

325

:

Alexandra: whatever people think of that,

326

:

Christine: It was like a

jukebox musical, right?

327

:

Like they put, they took the, it's

kind of like Moulin Rouge where

328

:

they took the story and then they

put contemporary music to it.

329

:

Alexandra: Yeah.

330

:

I say that like I've

seen Moulin Rouge, that

331

:

is still on my list

332

:

to see.

333

:

So possibly I think trying to find

it specifically, the song that I

334

:

liked out of those was a million

to one that Camila Cabello sings.

335

:

Somebody to love.

336

:

By most of the cast and am I wrong by

most of the cast, but the song a million

337

:

to one kind of those lyrics and like high

hopes or high hopes by panic of the disco.

338

:

I feel like sometimes when I don't

have enough belief in myself to

339

:

accomplish the things and the things

that I'm set out to achieve kind

340

:

of help make me believe that I can.

341

:

So there was a few as we've mentioned.

342

:

Did another venture kind of like this with

a different group and a group of people

343

:

and kind of having to build myself up to

be able to leave that group to pursue.

344

:

I mean this with you, but a lot of other

things in my life that I'm working on.

345

:

That song really helped.

346

:

So, you know, you can be the, almost the

one in a million to make something happen.

347

:

And then high hopes to just, you

know, it doesn't matter what can

348

:

tear you down, but keep going.

349

:

You, you know, set your hopes

high and keep living up to it.

350

:

So those were like the

lyrics that will hit me hard.

351

:

I'm trying to think of like romance songs

and all that's coming into me as acoustic.

352

:

And I don't have the best singing

voice, so we will not subject

353

:

our listeners to that today.

354

:

Christine: No that's

no, that's really sweet.

355

:

Yeah, I have.

356

:

So I have two playlists that I

usually have on repeat on my Spotify.

357

:

One is more like upbeat and something I go

to when I'm like, I want to get pumped up.

358

:

And that includes like a lot of

throwback songs to when I was younger,

359

:

but also just feel good songs.

360

:

It's a really varied list.

361

:

It includes like popular

hits that are out today.

362

:

Some EDMs, some, things like that.

363

:

Like throwback beautiful soul by Jesse

McCartney, which has had a resurgence

364

:

in recent year, the recent year.

365

:

But the other playlist it's more

like something I'm listening to

366

:

when my vibe is more mellow and

chill, or when I'm in my fields.

367

:

So it's got a they're the more

like melodic lyrical music with

368

:

So the artists that I have in that

playlist are varied as well, but

369

:

it's got Lewis Capaldi, Demi Lovato,

370

:

Adele.

371

:

Hello, my love, Adele.

372

:

Billie Eilish.

373

:

See,

374

:

Alexandra: Those are

definitely good artists.

375

:

When you are ready to feel the

376

:

Christine: yeah, another artist who I

discovered actually through social media.

377

:

His name's Sam Tompkins.

378

:

He is originally from the UK.

379

:

He's kind of, I've sort of watched his

career grow over the last several years

380

:

and He's really, you know, It's been

really kind of cool to see his growth,

381

:

but a lot of his music is a little darker

or you know, not it's a little darker.

382

:

It's questioning life and like why things

are things really worth it or things,

383

:

so if you need to be in the fields,

he's a great artist to, to listen to

384

:

Frank Ocean is on my playlist here.

385

:

Let's see Harry Styles.

386

:

And then I've got like

Natalie Cole on here.

387

:

Olivia Rodrigo, Lana Del Rey.

388

:

So yeah, like it's a very,

it's a very varied playlist.

389

:

Like Evanescence is even on

here, like throwback Beyonce.

390

:

So

391

:

Alexandra: Good mix of people.

392

:

Christine: I think it's a

good playlist personally.

393

:

And then I also.

394

:

You know, we'll remove songs or add songs.

395

:

Towards the end of the playlist is

like my more recent ads, obviously.

396

:

But yeah, but specifically thinking

about lyrics they're songs I

397

:

gravitate towards when I need to

398

:

work through something, but not

want to necessarily have to think

399

:

about what I'm going through.

400

:

If that makes

401

:

Alexandra: Right.

402

:

Christine: So like I'll pop on

like jealous by labyrinth or,

403

:

Alexandra: I should know that one.

404

:

Probably

405

:

Christine: yeah, the lyrics are

really beautiful for that one.

406

:

Like it's a sad song,

but let me look it up.

407

:

Hang on.

408

:

I'm jealous of the rain

that falls upon your skin.

409

:

It's closer than my hands have been.

410

:

I'm jealous of the rain.

411

:

I'm jealous of the wind that

ripples through your clothes.

412

:

It's closer than your shadow.

413

:

Oh, I'm jealous of the wind.

414

:

Cause I wish you, this is the chorus.

415

:

The best of all this world could

give and I told you when you left

416

:

me There's nothing to forgive but

I always thought you'd come back.

417

:

Tell me all you found was heartbreak and

misery It's hard for me to say I'm jealous

418

:

of the way you're happy without me.

419

:

Damn, so there's just songs

that songwriters are able to so

420

:

beautifully and eloquently encapsulate

the So many feelings at the same time.

421

:

I don't think I could ever be able to, to

422

:

express myself more perfectly than how

certain songwriters are able to but

423

:

Alexandra: I think this is the

beauty of music in many ways.

424

:

Kind of to put a lot of the

experiences that People in humans

425

:

have into really impactful song.

426

:

craving more of our company.

427

:

Join the fun over on YouTube at near

project pod, dive deeper into our world,

428

:

engage with us on a whole new level.

429

:

Don't miss out on the excitement So

kind of on that vein, as you've talked

430

:

about having to work through things

how do the different genres impact you?

431

:

And is there anyone that you,

what are specific ones that you

432

:

turn to in specific scenarios?

433

:

What do you turn to when you're feeling

angry or raging, or when you Feel a

434

:

little bit more mellow and maybe need

to come up a few notches or you're like

435

:

uber amped up and need to come down.

436

:

Christine: Yeah.

437

:

So

438

:

I would say If I need to work

something out and I'm angry, I

439

:

usually lean into the more rock.

440

:

So I'll put on like ACDC or even

like Demi Lovato's latest album.

441

:

Even some of Beyonce's songs,

like I fucking love Lemonade.

442

:

That album is like a work of art to me.

443

:

Cause that's such like a journey.

444

:

I, I also, I'm a huge fan and.

445

:

Definitely recommend like we're talking

about individual songs, but when you

446

:

look at an artist's album, it's truly

like a complete work of art and it's a

447

:

complete story and you go, and there's

an arc to it that is really beautiful.

448

:

So I encourage people to take the time

to listen to an artist's complete album.

449

:

But since we're talking about songs in

particular the, those are the artists

450

:

I gravitate to when I need to work

work some things out like anger wise

451

:

or like frustration or when I need to

sort of bring myself up, like if I'm

452

:

feeling mellow and I want to bring the

energy up, that's when I'll usually

453

:

throw on that playlist where I have a

lot of like throwbacks and a lot of the

454

:

music that I feel a lot of nostalgia

for that remind me of a time when I

455

:

was younger and life was more playful.

456

:

So I'll put on like Britney

Spears or, you know, I'll pop

457

:

on shut up and dance with me.

458

:

And that usually gets me to that place.

459

:

I want to be Oh, another song, Mr.

460

:

Brightside.

461

:

Fucking love man.

462

:

If you want to totally, yeah.

463

:

If you want to totally,

that's like a good song.

464

:

That's another great song for

rocking out in the car too.

465

:

I love Mr.

466

:

Brightside.

467

:

So what else?

468

:

Oh, and then to help me

sort of just mellow out.

469

:

I mean.

470

:

If you need to feel the fields,

like Adele is like my go to girl.

471

:

I'm currently, I love all of her

work, but I honestly think 30

472

:

is one of, is my favorite album.

473

:

And there's, I have songs from each

of her albums that I really love.

474

:

But I would say 25 and 30 are my two

favorite albums by her, but, the story

475

:

she evokes through 30 is so beautiful

and it kind of aligned with a lot of

476

:

what I was going through at the time.

477

:

Clearly.

478

:

I mean, I'm also turning 30 this year,

so, it's just an album that I think I

479

:

resonate, I'm gonna resonate a lot with

because that's where I'm at in my life.

480

:

So, but how about you general wise?

481

:

What do you gravitate towards?

482

:

Alexandra: okay.

483

:

So it can either, if I need to get a

little angry or want to work through

484

:

some anger or get pumped up, usually EDM

kind of thing can work for both for me.

485

:

I really love, if I'm upset

or angry or just irritated.

486

:

I love hopping on my bike and

doing an ADM class with some of the

487

:

instructors that do more ADM playlists.

488

:

Conversely, I also really

enjoy classical music.

489

:

I also like, in terms of making Modern

music, more classical instrumental vibes.

490

:

So if you think of a lot of the

artists who work on like the

491

:

Bridgerton sound set, so this is

groups like vitamin string quartet.

492

:

Think it's like midnight

symphony or something.

493

:

So groups that kind of take.

494

:

music like the one that from

the carriage scene from Pitbull

495

:

can't think of the song title, but

we'll make it into more instrument

496

:

instrumental classical type Styles or

like Lindsey Stirling who does a violin.

497

:

I like to listen to those when I want to

study a little bit more, but still kind

498

:

of not be just straight classical music.

499

:

And then kind of, I'll be like, you

know, I'll say, you know, Hey, Siri

500

:

play some music just for me and

kind of see what pops up on cause

501

:

I have Apple music subscription.

502

:

So kind of letting explore,

but really those are the two

503

:

things that I'll lean to.

504

:

And then I don't know if I'm moody.

505

:

I'll pick a song and go from there.

506

:

Part of me is I have old playlists.

507

:

I'm sure that we're music where I

would dump like a lot of stuff that

508

:

I was listening to at the time.

509

:

And part of me is I don't want to

delete those because if I ever want

510

:

to go back and listen to the things

511

:

that were big during that time

512

:

Christine: it's a good snap.

513

:

It's like a good snapshot of where

you were at that time in your

514

:

life, and it's like a, like the

best analogy I could have for it.

515

:

It's like a yearbook almost.

516

:

Like you look back and each song is a

different message that someone wrote in

517

:

your yearbook or something like that.

518

:

Alexandra: But then I'll also go

through phases where it's some phases

519

:

I'm listening to more music and

others I'm listening to audio books or

520

:

podcasts.

521

:

So it kind of depends.

522

:

But yeah, if I ever need to calm

down and just kind of mellow out

523

:

and is one of my first places that

524

:

I'll go.

525

:

So yeah, I also love on Apple music.

526

:

If you did this subscription,

you can pick different playlists.

527

:

So they've got like a sound healing

one, they've got like a lo fi, which

528

:

is kind of interesting that if I'm

out at a coffee shop, I will listen

529

:

to some lo fi music that I need to

concentrate, but want some background

530

:

But not be caught up in the lyrics.

531

:

So those are like the things

that I tend to lean towards.

532

:

Have you noticed that when you listen

to specific things for an extended

533

:

duration of time that certain events

or things happen in your life from

534

:

listening to or that you notice more?

535

:

Christine: Yeah.

536

:

Because I think music has

such a beautiful way of,

537

:

at times it's helped me

get out of my own way.

538

:

In a lot of ways it's helped

me get out of my head.

539

:

It's made me be present in the

moment because I feel like sometimes

540

:

I get, I struggle a lot with

getting so caught up in all of the

541

:

different things going on around me.

542

:

But if I, by taking the time to listen

to a song for four or five minutes,

543

:

it really helps bring me back to

center and be present where I'm at

544

:

and allows me to not necessarily.

545

:

Focus on the other million

things running through my head.

546

:

But to your point about like those

different playlists, I also love

547

:

listening to playlists that I haven't

curated because it helps me discover new

548

:

music and discover songs that I don't

think I would have necessarily found

549

:

on my own, but then end up, you know,

impacting me in such a significant way.

550

:

Then you like mentioned lo fi.

551

:

I love lo fi.

552

:

It's such like a great way for.

553

:

me to mellow out, but still be productive.

554

:

If that makes sense.

555

:

Like it's usually my go to playlist on

Spotify to put on while I'm working.

556

:

So it like, cause the beat of

it keeps me like going, but

557

:

it's also helps keep me mellow.

558

:

And then

559

:

Alexandra: makes sense.

560

:

Christine: I also love one of

my favorite genres is jazz.

561

:

And jazz as a genre has so many different.

562

:

Moods and vibes.

563

:

And there's one on Spotify

called jazz in the background.

564

:

That is the typical more mellow

version more mellow side of that genre.

565

:

Because jazz can also be really like

loud and exciting and unexpected.

566

:

Cause there's a lot of

improvisation when it comes to jazz.

567

:

So

568

:

yeah, that's, it's really, Music has

always had that sort of impact for me that

569

:

has helped guide me through situations

that I otherwise don't know how I would

570

:

have gotten through, if that makes sense.

571

:

Alexandra: Yeah.

572

:

Christine: But

573

:

Alexandra: I feel like

Renegades by ex ambassadors in

574

:

Christine: that was

575

:

a big one.

576

:

Alexandra: one of those ones.

577

:

Christine: We bonded over that song a lot.

578

:

I think that was, I remember

that being one of your favorites.

579

:

It's a good song.

580

:

Alexandra: But now I feel like I

can only listen to it in the fall.

581

:

Christine: that's so interesting.

582

:

Alexandra: So, I don't know

583

:

Christine: Yeah that's almost like for me,

like dancing in the moonlight or like Lana

584

:

Del Rey as a whole, I really associate

with summer, like the summertime.

585

:

Alexandra: Oh, Summertime

Sadness in high school.

586

:

Oh, and then Animals by Martin somebody.

587

:

I

588

:

don't know why.

589

:

We're bringing up all the things.

590

:

But yeah,

591

:

Christine: this is such like a

592

:

fun,

593

:

I love talking about this

stuff because We're just going

594

:

in all different directions.

595

:

Like we're totally off, off script here.

596

:

Like we have this whole

out, but I love it.

597

:

It's like really fun to just

sort of see where this takes us.

598

:

Alexandra: So bringing us

a little bit back to the

599

:

outline, do you believe that certain songs

or genres can attract similar vibrational

600

:

things to those songs into your life?

601

:

Christine: I mean, I don't know if

I've ever really thought about it like

602

:

that, but I think in a way it does

because I truly believe music has a

603

:

really big impact on your mood and where

you are, where you can be mentally.

604

:

And I personally believe that

605

:

where you are mentally allows

you to either accept or allow

606

:

yourself to be open to different

things that are coming at you.

607

:

That you might not if you were in

a different head space, you might

608

:

not be open to, if that makes sense.

609

:

Alexandra: Does?

610

:

Christine: so, I think

I do agree with that.

611

:

I think there's varying degrees to it too.

612

:

Like some people might, I don't

necessarily put all my stock into it.

613

:

But I think music definitely does allow

me to be more present in, in the moment.

614

:

So that in turn allows me to be open to.

615

:

Things that I might not otherwise

realize are coming my way.

616

:

Alexandra: Fair.

617

:

Christine: But how about you?

618

:

Do you notice that that there's

a pattern with certain songs?

619

:

Alexandra: sometimes I think,

where did I, feel like it was

620

:

something I heard from like Mel

Robbins, who's a Hay House author.

621

:

And she talks a lot about on

like different energies and

622

:

attract, like the high five habit.

623

:

So any, I don't think it was from her,

maybe somewhere else, but somebody

624

:

had brought up the idea that, music,

the things that we listen to play a

625

:

big part in, you know, manifestation.

626

:

So if you're trying to manifest a romantic

relationship, for an example, but you're

627

:

listening to songs all about anger and

depression from heartbreak and, you

628

:

know, people suck and they're terrible.

629

:

Well, that's two very different energies.

630

:

So I think some of it can.

631

:

Help because particularly if you're

someone who likes to sing along, which

632

:

is me, I do that all the time in my car.

633

:

You're saying that right.

634

:

And manifest manifestation is a

lot about saying and repeating

635

:

affirmations and different things.

636

:

Then you're affirming those not so

great experiences about breakups.

637

:

Not to say that you shouldn't ever

listen to them because sometimes, yeah,

638

:

or sometimes it's a really good song.

639

:

But it certainly makes me more aware.

640

:

Of experiences or situations that kind

of align with that music if I'm listening

641

:

to a lot of it in a short period of time.

642

:

So I think that it's

kind of a yes and a no.

643

:

And I'm trying to think, I wish I had

done a little more prep for this episode

644

:

and kind of come up with well, these

are the songs I'm listening to when

645

:

trying to manifest a relationship or

in trying to work on my own self love,

646

:

except for I have been on an audio book

647

:

recently.

648

:

So,

649

:

Christine: well, that could be something

we do in the future is like we, we

650

:

tailor or we curate a playlist that

we can put out there and be like.

651

:

Hey friends, this is what we're

currently listening to if we're trying

652

:

to manifest this or if we want to

focus on this and be more present on

653

:

X, Y, and Z, so that could be fun.

654

:

Alexandra: But if we're talking

specifically about relationships, acoustic

655

:

belly ruffle is top of my list right now.

656

:

Yeah.

657

:

If something seemed to manifest in my

life, I would say it was the million to

658

:

one and high hopes when I was leaving

that group and kind of, I feel like

659

:

that was a pivotal shift in my life.

660

:

That was, and I didn't really see the

benefits of that until probably right

661

:

around now, the past couple of months.

662

:

But those songs certainly

seemed to help me.

663

:

Manifest that change, whether or

not it was like immediate and, you

664

:

know, wow, my life is so much better.

665

:

No, it's kind of worked really hard to

666

:

get where I am.

667

:

But I would say those would

be my experiences so far

668

:

with this kind of realm.

669

:

But yeah.

670

:

Christine: I think also music

is such a beautiful art form

671

:

because it allows people.

672

:

To take what they want from it.

673

:

So while a particular artist is

creating an album, that's when it's

674

:

theirs, it's there it's their way

to make sense of something they've

675

:

gone through, it's their way to

676

:

usually work through something

that's going on their life sometimes.

677

:

And in some senses, like some, like

the big pop hits, they're just,

678

:

there's a formula to it as well.

679

:

But.

680

:

My point being is like when

an artist is working on an

681

:

album, that's when it's theirs.

682

:

And then when they put it out there

for the world, and I've heard a lot of

683

:

different artists say it's now theirs.

684

:

It's not, it's meaning it's

their fans or their listeners.

685

:

It's not necessarily, it doesn't

necessarily belong to them

686

:

anymore, which I think is a really

beautiful and interesting that's

687

:

how art is in general, right?

688

:

Whether it's music or painting

or sculpting while an artist is

689

:

creating something, it is something

that it is totally their own, but

690

:

then they give it to someone else.

691

:

So freely to everybody else

to critique and to connect

692

:

with, which I think is so cool.

693

:

And is a reason why I have such

a love for music in particular.

694

:

Alexandra: Yeah, and it's kind of funny.

695

:

This made me think of sometimes

a lot of the music that we listen

696

:

to, or I'm thinking of music like

when we were teenagers and maybe

697

:

younger did not mean what we

698

:

thought they meant and maybe

shouldn't have been listening to.

699

:

I'm thinking of Like a lollipop or sugar.

700

:

Oh my gosh.

701

:

Like certain things.

702

:

I was like like I kind of had a vague idea

of as a teenager, like kind of what that

703

:

stuff went, but as an

adult, I'm like, Holy shit.

704

:

Christine: exactly.

705

:

Alexandra: but yeah, I just,

I don't know what you saying

706

:

that made me think about that.

707

:

You know, the intention and

it got into a larger group of

708

:

people.

709

:

Christine: I also think you know, culture.

710

:

Has a lot like pop culture

has a lot to do with it.

711

:

Right.

712

:

And especially today with social media,

like there's people who have music careers

713

:

because they put a song that blew up on

Tik TOK or in particular, there's one

714

:

artist he's actually the act Joe Carey.

715

:

I think his name is from stranger things.

716

:

His I believe his music name is.

717

:

Joe, it's DJ.

718

:

Oh and he's had a song that

like just has blown up.

719

:

On Tik TOK it's called

end of the beginning.

720

:

I think, hang on, let me look it up.

721

:

I have it on my playlist now.

722

:

Yeah.

723

:

End of beginning by Joe.

724

:

I feel like I'm saying that wrong.

725

:

Sorry, everyone.

726

:

If I am,

727

:

Alexandra: If you guys know how

it's pronounced, just shoot a me,

728

:

shoot us a message and tell us

729

:

Christine: but it's such a it's such

a beautiful song because it's talking

730

:

about, Like for him specifically, it's

sort of like a love song for his, for

731

:

Chicago and just how there's a place that

when you go back to it, it's almost like

732

:

you're no longer that same person, but

it brings back all of the things that

733

:

you were experiencing or going through

at a particular time in your life.

734

:

And that's something I think

so many people can relate to.

735

:

So,

736

:

Alexandra: Well, it makes me think

of, you mentioned Justin McCarney

737

:

having a resurgence of beautiful

soul, but I've heard so recently on

738

:

Instagram a lot of reels are using.

739

:

A sampling of a song by and

Dilla, who's a French artist whom

740

:

I actually love her music and

listened to her a lot in college.

741

:

And it was kind of funny.

742

:

Cause I'm like, Oh, now people

are suddenly getting into

743

:

this music and like the ruin.

744

:

And I'm like, Oh, like I love it.

745

:

But I also, I'm like, yeah, but

the original was really good too.

746

:

So

747

:

Christine: well, that's a, that's another

beautiful thing about music is like it

748

:

never dies, like it, it will come and it

will, there'll be resurgence of things.

749

:

And

750

:

Alexandra: artist sample from a lot

751

:

of other artists, I saw something

that was like millennial gen.

752

:

Z, no, Millennial Gen X, and then versus

Gen Z songs, and it was like, Gen Z

753

:

thing, like it's their, this music and

it's no, they sampled the beat of this

754

:

song and have changed it.

755

:

Dua Lipa does it a lot, but there's

a lot of other artists like Ava Max

756

:

samples of the song around the world.

757

:

I'm trying to think a couple of the things

I've noticed she samples as the underlying

758

:

tone and beat of the song, which is.

759

:

Fine.

760

:

You know, it's cool.

761

:

It keeps it

762

:

going.

763

:

Christine: it a new life,

which I think is really cool.

764

:

Alexandra: but okay.

765

:

There was another artist.

766

:

It made me think while you're talking

rel, I think that's how you say her name.

767

:

I like her music.

768

:

It's moody, little edgy, kind of a vibe.

769

:

I love it.

770

:

And sometimes when I just,

771

:

Christine: Usually is in TV

772

:

shows a lot.

773

:

Alexandra: Yep.

774

:

Yep.

775

:

More like the fantasy

776

:

genre stuff, at least I've

777

:

noticed.

778

:

And

779

:

Christine: we

780

:

Alexandra: I have a

love affair with fantasy

781

:

genres.

782

:

Yeah.

783

:

So that's what I think about it.

784

:

Okay.

785

:

So exploring different musical

genres and tastes, how do you

786

:

explore different musical genres?

787

:

Is it only through the playlist that

you haven't created or, you know,

788

:

how do you learn more about other

789

:

Christine: Well, that's

most, that's most of it.

790

:

And then also, I feel like social

media the only reason why I know what

791

:

the kids are listening to these days

is like what blows up on what blows,

792

:

what's used on TikTok or or is on

Instagram or something like that.

793

:

But I've also, Social media has been a

great tool in me discovering new artists.

794

:

I mentioned Sam Topkins.

795

:

There's another, there's a girl,

hang on let me look her up really

796

:

quick, that I've oh the problem

is, will I be able to look her up?

797

:

I wish there was a way to

like, on Instagram, see who

798

:

you have recently followed.

799

:

Alexandra: Oh, yeah, I don't know.

800

:

Christine: But I don't

think that is the case.

801

:

Anyway, if I think of

it, I'll bring it up.

802

:

But that's been a really great

tool in discovering new artists

803

:

and just opening myself up.

804

:

Cause I don't listen to the radio anymore.

805

:

I also feel like the radio

isn't a true telling anymore of

806

:

what of new music that's out.

807

:

It's mostly what's popular.

808

:

And that's fine.

809

:

But.

810

:

Yeah, I mostly, I love just

finding new playlists and

811

:

discovering new artists that way.

812

:

I also, the people, like my

friends, my family, they introduced

813

:

me to new music all the time.

814

:

And I also just love I love how

I've expressed how much music has

815

:

meant to me and I studied it in

school and all of that, but I've

816

:

really attributed that to my parents

growing up they introduced me to all,

817

:

like all different kinds of genres.

818

:

Like my mom, what my mom really loved

versus what my dad really loved.

819

:

Like my mom loves Frank

Sinatra and Billy Joel.

820

:

And I think her, she loves Guns

N Roses and my dad was like Van

821

:

Halen, ACDC, Linkin Park Creed.

822

:

Like he was like definitely

like the rock, he was like my

823

:

rock and roll and rock person.

824

:

That's who I he always, he

introduced all that to me.

825

:

And as we mentioned on the

Father's Day episode, I talked

826

:

about how dad, play the bell song.

827

:

Alexandra: Yeah, I was just thinking of

828

:

Christine: And to your point about

not knowing what a song is about, talk

829

:

about not knowing what a song's about.

830

:

We just really like the bells.

831

:

But that's how I usually, you know,

find new artists, new songs new albums.

832

:

But what about you?

833

:

How do you find stuff?

834

:

Alexandra: I think a lot of

it is just I'll say, you know,

835

:

Siri, play some music for

836

:

me.

837

:

So sometimes I'll do that.

838

:

I'll try and play, or I'll pick

up, click on a song that I like.

839

:

And I think there's a

button that you can lift up.

840

:

So that'll.

841

:

Suggest music like it.

842

:

Feel like really TV and movies will

introduce me to a song that I like either

843

:

the lyrics of, or the music, the beat too.

844

:

And that'll get me curious

enough to go explore something.

845

:

Yeah, I feel like that's kind

of how I will that, or I kind

846

:

of get into a different mood.

847

:

Space in my life, like more like sound

music or like chanting and stuff.

848

:

And so I'm like, I want to listen

to that and kind of hear that.

849

:

Have you ever heard the halo?

850

:

Intro theme song the video game

851

:

Christine: I don't think so.

852

:

Or I may have, but I don't

have any frame of reference.

853

:

Alexandra: if you look on YouTube

and you look up, I don't know

854

:

what the name of the Halo theme.

855

:

There's three Georgian monks who do tonal,

856

:

Singing of that.

857

:

And I really like that.

858

:

So sometimes I'll do that, but, I

see a note here of are there any new

859

:

artists or songs that you recently

discovered that make a big impact?

860

:

And there was two things I want to hit

before I forget, because there's been

861

:

a couple of things that have come up.

862

:

I'm like, Oh no, lost it.

863

:

When in our last episode, when we were

prepping for what is dating, you had

864

:

mentioned, I think in the episode, but

also before The things that we experience

865

:

and see on like television or movie

or even in books, that's very edited.

866

:

It's very tailored.

867

:

I would so love to have a

playlist, you know, just music

868

:

playing in our everyday life.

869

:

It was to make some of these

moments very cinematic.

870

:

But it makes me think of the

song by Salem Ali's mad at

871

:

Disney, which I'd first heard on.

872

:

Instagram.

873

:

It was like, I'm mad at Disney.

874

:

You tricked me.

875

:

Had me wishing upon a shooting star.

876

:

And it was like, you know, Cinderella's

something only ended in a bad divorce.

877

:

And I was like, you know,

that's kind of, kind of made

878

:

me think of what you're saying.

879

:

It's you know, things that yeah,

make us feel good or inspire us have

880

:

kind of set us up to be like that.

881

:

Wait, this isn't necessarily

882

:

reality.

883

:

So I kind of liked that song.

884

:

It kind of hits on that.

885

:

But there, A song that I did come across

on Instagram is I've been listening

886

:

to a lot of things like people who

are more bilingual or French people on

887

:

Instagram to kind of work on those skills.

888

:

And somebody, I don't know, must

have come up on the discovery

889

:

page or the, for you, I don't know

how it came across this woman.

890

:

Her name is Madeline and she's a

singer and she sings, has a song

891

:

called dopamine and she does an English

version and she has a French version.

892

:

And then she's released one where

it's actually English and French.

893

:

And so if you've got headphones in and

the right headphone, it's English and

894

:

the left headphone, it's French and I

895

:

Love it.

896

:

It was

897

:

really cool And I really

do enjoy some French music.

898

:

So, but yeah, that's, that

just made me think of that.

899

:

I was like, okay.

900

:

So, it's really fun and I'm

kind of have it in my head.

901

:

Christine: There you go.

902

:

Yeah, no,

903

:

definitely.

904

:

Alexandra: I know you said you, there

was a woman that you were looking for and

905

:

Christine: yeah, I'll have to, what we'll

do in the show notes is I think any of

906

:

the artists we've talked about we'll

list them all or link them in the show

907

:

notes for you guys, but yeah, damn it.

908

:

I can't remember her name.

909

:

And you know, there is probably a

way to see on Instagram, your new,

910

:

the more recent people you follow,

but I don't know how to do that.

911

:

Currently, but

912

:

I've been rediscovering a lot

of songs that I forgot about

913

:

which has been a lot of fun.

914

:

I don't necessarily classify myself

as I didn't necessarily think I was

915

:

like emo in any way growing up, but

like a lot of the the music from that

916

:

era of the early aughts just like I

look back on, I was like, hell yeah.

917

:

I like know all of the songs, like those

things on you, you see those funny things

918

:

on on Instagram or TikTok where people

like hear songs and it's like a gauge of,

919

:

Alexandra: recently that was

like a millennial and it was

920

:

more of like the EDM genre.

921

:

I was like, Oh, I know

922

:

Christine: yeah, exactly.

923

:

For me, that's apparently emo.

924

:

music, which is Like Paramore and

925

:

Alexandra: Oh, I love

926

:

Christine: love Paramore.

927

:

She's an incredible vocalist.

928

:

Can we just take a moment to

appreciate the power that woman has?

929

:

It's insane.

930

:

But yeah, so that's not necessarily

a whole lot of new stuff, but more

931

:

so just discovering old stuff.

932

:

There was a particular TikTok I saw,

which was or maybe it was Instagram.

933

:

I sent it to some friends.

934

:

I don't, did I send it to you, Alex?

935

:

Let me see.

936

:

Alexandra: Maybe.

937

:

Christine: Let's see.

938

:

The Millennial Workday

:

939

:

Did I send that to you?

940

:

Alexandra: haven't had a

chance to fully listen to it.

941

:

Yeah.

942

:

Christine: it just has, it,

I sent it to my friends.

943

:

I was like, this is incredible.

944

:

I have no edits and I knew every

single song that was that was played.

945

:

And I was like, that's a

fucking good playlist too.

946

:

So, I'll, we can link that video

so that you all can hear the

947

:

different songs but yeah, so

948

:

Alexandra: I would say if people

are kind of in a stump in terms of

949

:

you know, what to listen to next

based on what you've just mentioned,

950

:

I would encourage and challenge

our listeners to go into whatever.

951

:

You know, Spotify or Apple or however

you listen to your music and shuffle

952

:

your library kind of see what comes up.

953

:

And if you have the moments where you

mentioned Paramore and I was like, Oh

954

:

my gosh, how did I forget about that?

955

:

Or, you know, Avril Lavigne,

just, you know, some,

956

:

all the things

957

:

that you like, you

958

:

Christine: her debut album.

959

:

It's so good.

960

:

It's a good

961

:

Alexandra: So, all I'm hearing is

skater boy, so, you know, so that's

962

:

what I would challenge people to do.

963

:

Maybe before they try and go and

try and explore a new genre, see

964

:

what's lurking on your playlist

that hasn't been listened to in a

965

:

Christine: Yeah.

966

:

I definitely, I'm feeling the urge to

go back and look at my old playlists

967

:

from like high school and early college

and just revisit like what songs I was

968

:

really resonating with at the time.

969

:

And it's a good rock.

970

:

It's definitely a good walk

down memory lane for sure.

971

:

Which is always nice.

972

:

Yeah.

973

:

I'm excited to come back.

974

:

I would love, just this whole conversation

has made me think about other sort

975

:

of offshoots to this conversation.

976

:

I would love to talk about sound healing.

977

:

That would be a really cool episode to

talk about how the vibrations of music

978

:

on just a very, Simple level affect us.

979

:

Cause you know, the vibrations

affect us in such a cool way.

980

:

And they do help heal us And I know

that's you've, you and I have both.

981

:

Started to embark on a

sound healing journey.

982

:

So that could be a really cool

episode, but also just talking

983

:

about the music business in general.

984

:

That's just like a really interesting

topic to, to dive into as well.

985

:

So, yeah I'm excited to come back and

maybe we'll do a a part two to this

986

:

conversation and see how our, how, see

how things have changed between now and
