I don’t know about some people, but I’m still not over the fact of my childhood decade coming to an end. During those ten years I listened to a lot of songs that whenever listening to it right now, I always remember some specific memory that I had with that specific song. One song that I would like to talk about is LOVE by Kendrick Lamar and Zacari. This song came out in 2017 which to be fair isn’t that long ago, but it was like when I was in sixth grade when I started getting into a different genre of music.
This song is refreshing to listen to and just hits different if you’re like at a beach, park, or just chilling somewhere where you’re right out in that fresh air, if that makes sense. This song has a great beat that makes you want to sway from side to side and no matter what you never get tired of it. This song is the type of song you would listen to while driving on a freeway with the windows down feeling that fresh, cool breeze on your skin. No cars in front of you and behind you and you’re just driving towards a pretty, golden sunset.
I’ve also had many memories with that song to. There was this one time in 6th or 7th grade where we were heading home from a park and during that time there was a program for children where they had games, raffals, and food. We were heading home all sticky from playing all day and this song would come up and with the windows down feeling the wind against our burnt skin felt so nice.
Another memory I had with this song was when I first got my phone which was towards the end of eighth grade and so I downloaded spotify, a platform where you can listen to music on your phone for free, and the first song I added to my first playlist was this song because back then that was my ultimate song I would listen to. Since I didn’t have premium, I would make one playlist where I added only this song like 20 times so that I can listen to it repeatedly. If you were wondering premium was a feature where you would pay like 10 dollars per month and you can choose whichever song you wanted to listen to without having to wait for that certain song you wanted to listen to.
That’s why it’s another one of my favorite songs of all time, because it sends good vibes wherever you are or what your situation is.
