What do your favourite songs say about you?

Have you ever stopped to reflect on why you’re drawn to certain songs?

The more I reflect on it, the stronger I feel that the music we connect with is a mirror of our values, experiences and emotions.

Here are 3 of my favourite songs:

1. Jukebox Hero by Foreigner - which is a song about a transformative moment of clarity and inspiration. It’s about someone witnessing greatness and deciding they can reach the same heights.

2. Dance of Death by Iron Maiden - which is about living life to the fullest. Listening to it feels like a rallying cry.

3. The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance - which is a rock opera, an entire album, telling the story of a character with terminal cancer. This one hits close to home as my dad passed away from cancer a few years ago.

Analysing your favourite songs and music is a great way to learn more about yourself.

The songs I have on repeat carry themes of living authentically, facing challenges head-on and finding clarity.
