![]() The very last slide of the Wrapped Up on Spotify gives you the option to share a summary of your Wrapped, including the number of minutes you listened to music on Spotify, the Top 5 artists you listened to, and the Top 5 songs you listened to that year. To make the metaphor of ‘showing your true colors’ more concrete: out of the color options for the layout that Spotify gives you (orange, purple, yellow, green, dark purple, and black), I chose orange :-). Since I like seeing other’s Wrap Ups, I also share mine. For me, I think music says so much about us, about our feelings and character. Personally, I think the music I listened to that year says so much about how I experienced that year: what hyped me up on one hand and got me through it on another. I love seeing the Wrap Ups from others and I also enjoy looking into mine. (I will not start the discussion about how telling others that it is not something anyone cares about, actually makes it very clear everyone cares about it, but some in a negative way and others in a positive.) You might have guessed the third one already, too: Spotify Wrapped.Įvery year, Instagram is divided into two camps: those who love seeing other’s Wrap Ups, and those who dislike them a lot and shout about how much no one cares from their online rooftops. You probably already guessed two of them: Sinterklaas (here in the Netherlands) and Santa Claus. December is known for the three S’es which are a traditional part of the 12th month. It is a month to reflect, get together, and share presents, stories, and experiences. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.Last week, we entered the last month of the year. ![]() The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. ![]() Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. I know that my girlfriend, family and friends love me and they would sacrifice anything to help me – if I just ask for help. I live with them every day and this verse is the one bringing me to tears. Suicidal thoughts are also a part of this illness. They know what I used to be and they really want me to get well again, to make these colors visible. My girlfriend, family and friends see that I'm suffering from this darkness but they know that deep inside of me there are beautiful colors that used to make them and all other people around me happy. I don't want anyone to think I'm strange or make them feel uncomfortable. I've lost faith in myself and my abilities, which have led me to take distance from other people. To me, everything is colorless/gray but I know that I used to see colors in life and I know that other people do as well. To me, this is a song to someone very close going through a depression. I found it out today when I heard the song and I started to cry, which I haven't done in months now. My own interpretation of this song is a bit different, maybe because of my current depression. Generally, I think this song is about having a friend that feels a bit odd or misplaced in this world but you see the beautiful side of that person. (Can't remember when I last saw you laughing)
