Playlists for Life.

I'm always blogging about music, and how it saves lives, how it's a part of life, and how it unites people. So this is a blog dedicated to actual music playlists. On my iPod I have this folder called Playlists for Life, and inside it are lists of different playlists for different moods. Not every day do we wake up and feel happy, and sometimes we just need something to play that changes that. Sometimes we're struggling to get through a bad breakup, or row, and we need empowering words to give us strength. And sometimes, we want a happy, care-free beat to smile along to . . . 


Here are my top fifteen songs in each of those playlists, I hope you like.
