When it comes down to the songs that will play in the movie of my life, these songs would be dramatic. Every song would have a different meaning, and more attention, destruct and love in it than the last. There are certain songs that are more committed to a certain time or event that has happened.

Going as far back that I can remember, most of the songs that I would hear would be on the car rides to school or camp.…
