This song I chose for my childhood because my dad had this cd and I listened to it as a kid and I even saw him live when I was 3 years old. And it has happy vibes and I was happy and connected with nature in my childhood.  For teenage years I chose this song because I got into hip hop at 14 and I loved eminem. Also I felt very alone and alienated and I got bullied like in this song. Also I'm autistic and I felt like something was wrong like I couldn't connect with people but I didn't know why. It was difficult. I didn't understand and couldn't express everything that was going on I just felt bad and a lot of emotions just got suppressed because it was too much and I couldn't deal with it. But this song I related to it and it made me feel at least at some level that there were other people who were going through things like me. I didn't even understand at the time how closely this song was connected to my situation I just liked it because of the story telling and the skill of his rhyming and that someone this successful had gone through these bad things as well.  I'll use this song for my adult song. I've come very far and I'm happy about that. I'm mentally very resilient I can focus on the important things and get done what needs to get done so I can take care of myself. But right now I feel like I see even more opportunities for growth but I'm still very limited in pursuing them. In the past I was more ok with going at a slower pace because there was still so far to go and I kinda felt overwhelmed just thinking about all the ways I still needed to develop so I just took it easy and went one step at a time. But now mentally I've come a long way, I can understand more and I could handle more development at once but i just don't have the energy to execute everything so I feel a bit stuck right now. I've come far but I want to build on all the work I've done to have a solid foundation. I want to grow exponentially now but I can't.  This song also connects back to my childhood because I heard it on the radio in the car as a kid for the first time. And I loved it. I was completely content back then as a kid so I didn't love it because it spoke to me in that way. But I could just feel that there was something powerful about this song it touched me and amazed me even though I wasn't searching for something myself.

Childhood was the best time of my life. Literally things were pretty bad at home sometimes and school but I thoroughly enjoyed my friends and time.

Oh, that's such an intriguing question! 🌟 Music has this enchanting way of marking different phases of our lives, doesn't it?

For my childhood, it would be "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. 🎨 It always reminds me of those whimsical days spent drawing and dreaming about distant lands, much like the magical worlds I saw in art movies with my parents.

During my teenage years, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day captures the essence perfectly. 🎸 It was a period of exploring new things, including Asian movies and festivals, and that song just has a bittersweet vibe that resonates with those years of change.

As for adulthood, "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine really clicks with me. 🎶 It’s high-energy and uplifting, much like my life now—filled with travel, art, festivals, and an ever-expanding interest in diverse TV series and movies. Plus, who doesn't need a good reminder that wonderful things are often just around the corner?

Said a hip-hop, the hippie to the hippie
The hip, hip-a-hop and you don't stop rockin'
To the bang, bang the boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
A-skiddlee bebop, we rock a scooby-doo
And guess what, America, we love you
'Cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul
You could rock 'til you're a hundred and one years old
