PAS 5: A Look Inside Del’s Mind

Over the past few posts, within the passion thread specifically, I’ve discussed a couple of what could be considered “sub genres” of music or at least what Spotify would call them in their yearly wrapped. The day where every Spotify user posts to the general public about how many hours they spent listening to music […]

PAS 3: The Teenage Girl

I think about teenage girlhood a lot, technically I’m still a teen but nonetheless. It’s a time for growth, adapting, experiencing new emotions, including newfound feelings of love and hatred for one’s self and others. And it’s hard to go through, there’s no doubt about that, and with those emotions come new additions to playlists. […]

PAS 2: Pretty Girls Manipulate

Well, it hasn’t even been a week since the last post, it’s been two days. So! We’re going to continue down manipulation avenue. It’s time to dive into the wonderful world of “female manipulator” music, another one of my personal favorites. Some men view it as “toxic women music” but that’s just their opinion, they’re […]

PAS 1: Gaslighters of the World

This week I will be focusing on “male manipulator” music. For a bit more context “male manipulator” music is commonly enjoyed by men who are manipulative […]

PAS 8: “Bewitched”

Well we’ve finally made it to the end of this semester’s passion post thread, which means it’s time to focus on the final/title track on Laufey’s Bewitched album titled “Bewitched”. A sweet ending to an album of distress, heartbreak, finding love, losing love, realizations and confusion, what could be better than that?  Now before I […]

PAS 7: It Must Be “Serendipity”

With only two passion posts left for the semester, today I’m going to share one of two songs I’ve been saving. The song I will be focusing on today is titled “Serendipity”, a rather charming song about discovery. The definition of serendipity is “the unexpected occurrence of our faculty for finding valuable or agreeable things […]

PAS 5: “Haunted” by the Past

With only twelve more days until Halloween, by day I’m greeted by trees changing to shades of red and orange, and by night I watch my floormates flying past the decorated doors, as their haunting screams fill the halls. With that being said today I’m going to dissect track three of Laufey’s album Bewitched titled […]

PAS 4: “Second Best” to the One

After a week break from posting, I’m back with another post covering another song from Laufey’s Bewitched album. Today, I’m going to dissect the second track of the album titled “Second Best”. This song opens with the narrator’s struggle to feel like she’s the main person in the heart of her partner.  “I’ll always regret […]
