Day 1 to Day 5 – Song Challenge – Let the Songs Play

Welcome to another challenge that starts today! Today we are going to start the song challenge. Keep checking the posts for upcoming challenges.

Day 1 – A Song that reminds you of an old-time

Songs fill our minds and heart with solace and peace. Seldom do we think how profound the effect of a song is on our thoughts and mood.

Old-time songs never leave our hearts and some memories deny leaving our minds. Some songs take you back to a time where nostalgia hits you hard and you wish you could relive those moments.

A song that reminds you of an old-time can also remind you of all the good things that were there in a particular era that has ended but still holds importance in our lives. Technology has developed and our lives have become easier but we still go back in time and talk about how it was back then.

From the Black and White era to a colorful one, we cherish the transformation but still cling to those old songs as we believe them to be precious and lost.

There cannot be just one song that reminds you of an old-time that you cherish or regret but today, choose a song that brings you closer to a moment you want to cherish the most.

It can be a time that helps you remember the transformation that you have gone through since then. It can be anything that makes you nostalgic, happy, sad, or curious.

I have listed out few songs below as my attempt at the challenge.

Songs for Today’s Challenge

• Jeena Isi ka Naam hai

• Can’t help falling in love

I hope you loved the songs and it will be great if you take up the challenge and share that song that reminds you of an old time but is still relevant today.

Day 2 – A Song that is third in your playlist queue

This one has to be quick. You just need to look into the playlist you listen to and check out the song that is third and share it with everyone.

It may be a surprise but it will be fun to find out what was going to be played third in the queue. We daily listen to music but seldom notice that we have been listening to the same songs for a long time and many times we just listen to what comes up next.

Playlist queue builds upon our choices of music we listen to every day and it is surprising that there are many songs that have never been played before and we like it the moment our current state of mind blends with the discovery of this new song that comes up in the queue.

Music says so much about you and the kind of music always leans towards the kind of person you are and the type of music changes with time as you change. You may find it amusing that a song that you might have liked so much back then before a few years does not hold much interest today.

You discover new songs and types of music and expand your knowledge and your interests diversify.

Song for Today’s Challenge

• We Don’t Talk Anymore

With this song, Day 2 of the Song Challenge comes to an end and we can look forward to Day 3 and give another song a chance to shine in our playlist.

Day 3 – A Song for the trip

Songs are so important on our trips. I remember when I went on a road trip with my friends to Coorg, which is a hill station located in Karnataka, India, the songs added so much fun to our trip. It adds enthusiasm and lightness to the whole experience.

We like to sing to it and also irritate one of our friends who was busy taking a calm view of the outside and most probably lost in their thoughts.

Trips are memorable and songs make them a journey to remember. During my trip to Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, we came across guitar players who added so much to the whole ambiance. You string it or tune it, you got to take the musical path if you are going to keep going.

Journeys are not always smooth. There were times when our buses and trains got delayed and we would sit for hours playing games and getting lost in the world of music. Good taste in music helps us connect with people and also explore more of it.

We can never define the type of songs we want to listen to while going on a trip, so choose wisely. There can be times when you will need to be highly energetic and there will also be times when you will just want to sleep by listening to good and soothing music.

Songs for Today’s Challenge

• Phir Se Ud Chala

• Cover Me In Sunshine

• Dil Dhadakne Do

• Daru Desi

• Avicii – The Nights

I am sure you will have your list of songs that you want to listen to when going on a trip. Feel free to share with everyone and let others add the song to their trip songs list.

Day 4 – A Song that is your all-time Mood Lifter

“I do not wish to hear that song.” Have you ever said this to yourself? If yes, then probably songs do affect your mood. Sometimes when we feel sad, we feel more connected to the sad songs. Some songs suddenly change our mood from sad to happy too.

Keep those songs close to your list which is your all-time Mood Lifter. There will be a particular song that takes you to a happy moment or helps you come out of a bad moment flashback.

Whatever is the case, feel free to tune in to that song when you feel low. It will rejuvenate your energy levels and help you get back to your life and leave behind all those worries you do not have control over.

It takes a moment to spoil our mood and so does to shine it again. Create a playlist and enjoy!

Song for Today’s Challenge

• Love you Zindagi

I have put down my all-time Mood Lifter. What is yours? Find out and keep it close to you. You never know when you need to play that song. Always be ready to push yourself out of that gloomy day that shall ruin your coming days too.

Day 5 – A Song from your Favorite Band

We all grow up admiring people and following them. Musical bands have been part of everyone’s choice at some point in time even for those who do not prefer it.

Band teaches us the value of collaboration. How it creates wonders when you connect and work in perfect rhythm with someone who shares the same goal. We can all apply this to our daily life also. When we work alone, we learn and struggle alone but when we collaborate, we learn all that others learn and we also have the opportunity to share our learnings with others.

What’s your favorite band you always admired?

Song for Today’s Challenge

• Coldplay

• Queen

• Butter
