The Ultimate Playlist To Get You Through Quarantine
I’ll make this short and simple, because who wants to read a long paragraph instead of jamming out? During these tough times, it’s safe to say that my playlist has expanded. I have a large number of taste in music, from French tunes, to Spanish, American rap, Reggae, Japanese rap, Indie, Rock, any type of Pop, you name it. I should also mention that I listen to a lot of underrated singers and rappers. I’m not a picky person in general, I enjoy every single genre of music because behind it there’s a person that took the time to come up with the lyrics and beats. It’s a long process and it takes a lot of commitment when building an ideal album. And let me tell you, putting yourself out there is a hard thing to do. Some artists go unnoticed and some eventually reach popularity. In this list, there will be a mixture of songs I recommend, whether it’s a love song, Reggaeton Latino, Rap, or just upbeat music. Take the time to listen to them and see how you feel about them! Sit back and relax or get up and feel free to shake your booty!

Take Me Away
Music has this crazy power to cut my mind and spirit off from the rest of the world. When I get anxious or stressed or overwhelmed, I know that I can pup in my headphones and drift off into a different plane of reality, whether that means headbanging along with DMX, jamming to the soul-shocking beats of Youngblood, or vibing to Billie Eilish.

Music is Medicine for the Soul..
1-20: Jess Glynne At the top of my quarantine playlist is the iconic Jess Glynne; starting with my favorite collaboration with Raye. I first discovered Jess Glynne in 2015 when she collaborated with Clean Bandit to create ‘Rather Be.’ Since that song came out she has released a few albums and they found their way to my playlist, some of the albums have a feel to it that makes you want to dance or the dishes and the others make you contemplate emotions like ‘Thursday’ or ‘Why Me.’ My absolute favorite from her recent album ‘Always in Between’ will have to be ‘I’ll Be There’ because it is uplifting to hear this amazing song about someone being there when you are at your lowest. I listen to Jess Glynne when I draw or walk around the block to get a clear head.

It's A Vibe
We are currently living in uncertain times. We've lost count on how many days it has been since this stay at home order. From gaining five pounds to everyone Ticking their Toc and watching every Netflix show that streaming service has to offer, we have now become frustrated and suffering from cabin fever. One thing that has gotten us through many days is the music. I have curated a playlist to get you through all of your quarantine needs.

The Open Field
Before quarantine, I lived in the northern part of Israel. I was dancing, eating, existing on a beautiful commune in a remote town not far from the Israel-Lebanon border; it was a dream. I would call my brother sometimes and he would joke about how I joined a cult because the days were filled with dancing in a grandiose studio with floor to ceiling windows that overlooked this big, open field. The field was lush with poppies and other wildflowers, the sun constantly kissing that field with its warmth. After dance, I would go to the cafe for an iced coffee before sprawling out in the field, bathing in the heat of the sun and almost suffocating in the plush barrage of flowers. Sometimes I would bring my notepad and write, sometimes I would draw, many times I would sit in the field with my fellow commune members and we would make flower crowns to be given to whomever had a birthday coming up. No matter the activity, I found joy and pure bliss in living in the commune. Sometimes I would walk over to the house of one of teachers and we would sit and talk on his porch, greeting passersby and picking through miscellaneous mysterious fruit-flavored candies until we had certifiably tried every flavor. Living in Israel allowed me to find true happiness, even amidst difficult times and exhaustion from dancing up to seven hours a day.

Quarantine Playlist
When I first heard of the Coronavirus, I felt that life as we knew it would change... drastically. Boy, I wasn’t prepared for how much. I’ve never homeschooled my kids; one is now in college and the other in fourth grade, but when the bigger cities started closing schools,I knew it was only a matter of time before it got to us. Being from a smaller community, there were a lot of people who didn’t think that our schools would shut down but the four- year university that I live near was the first to close and begin online classes. Not too many weeks later, the school district decided to as well, which for preschool through high school meant a longer spring break and the younger kids were ecstatic. That was, until they found out they weren’t going back to school at all this year. Hence, homeschooling commenced. To say it’s been a challenge for both myself and my fourth grader is an understatement...subjects aren’t taught like they were even when my son was that age, not to mention when I was her age. I am grateful to her teacher and principal for making it a little easier on those of us who weren’t built to teach. Luckily, she and I both enjoy reading, so we save that for the end of the day. Her way of coping is being able to have “virtual play dates,” playing Minecraft or Wildcraft together or just messaging GIFs and funny images or memes back and forth to her friends. This gives me a little while to work on stories that I’m writing and listen to my music or just relax.

AT HOME PLAYLIST. Third Place in Quarantine Playlist Challenge.
The Coronavirus flipped our world upside down and now, apart from getting dressed up to put the bins out or to go grocery shopping, we are all at home. The most exciting thing about our days are phone calls from friends or going outside for our government approved exercises.

Texxx-Man Cosplay’s Quarantine Playlist
Are you bored and have nothing to do? Are you feeling lonely, depressed, and unable to hang out with your friends? If you have answered yes to both of these questions, I have the perfect solution to ease your loneliness. As you have already noticed, the coronavirus pandemic has already taken a toll on millions of people who have lost their jobs, being separated from the people that they love, not working at the moment, or all of the above. There has been a dramatic spike in calls to mental health and suicide prevention hotlines since this outbreak began. Believe me. I’m currently going through the same issues as those suffering from mental illness. The nonstop news coverage of the coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on me mentally and probably for others as well.
