To The Bottom and Back Again
I started thinking about writing this, one morning, while listening to random songs on Spotify. I wasn't sure where to start, when a Green Day song came on and I almost immediately had an uncontrollable outpouring of tears and sadness. From there everything else just came. A movie of my life with it's own soundtrack that bought up so many memories and emotions.

Baker's Dozen Beats: 13 Playlists I Listen to all the Time. Content Warning.
I've been waiting to do something like this for a while. I certainly have the number of playlists for it... Playlists are a huge part of my daily routine. They also play a major part in helping me develop characters and stories and bring extra enjoyment to my other hobbies! Whether I'm pacing the office, cleaning the kitchen, tearing it up in World of Warcraft, or just relaxing in the bathtub, I've got a playlist for it - or I'll make one! Think I've got close to 300 on Spotify, and I'm afraid to look at the other lists on my iPod...

A Journey through Melodies
Music has a unique power to transport us to different moments in time, evoking emotions and memories that are deeply personal. It serves as a soundtrack to our lives, capturing the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, and the defining moments that shape who we are. In this article, I invite you to join me on a journey through my personalized soundtrack, where each song holds a special place in my heart and reflects a significant chapter of my life.

Nomadic Child
As the child of a singer/songwriter, music has had a deeply unique and lasting effect on my life in general so it’s no surprise that there’s a soundtrack to my life in the songs that I have composed, performed and recorded myself. Each one is unique to me and this time you spend here is basically a shared introspective into my life, through my music and I hope you enjoy it.

Born to Sing 🎶; a Different Tune. Content Warning.
© ✍️ Madhu Goteti, May 31st,2023 Hopefully my soundtrack memoir 🤞 doesn’t cause any incessant weeping in the readers. To me, welling up is easy since birth. At birth, I naturally appeared as a broadcaster —with a voice—enormously greater than normal for the vocal chords. I was bestowed with a strange kind of beaver-hiccups that leaned into intolerable colics, as and when , I gathered awareness about my surroundings, viz a viz, gut feelings. Every morning I was fed with a simple (lactose intolerant) milk while the radio 📻 aired this classical song https://youtu.be/7nXYYuorTm4

For Phyllis
I shared an earlier version of this letter with my sister Phyllis weeks before she died in October 2014. Phyllis gave me the gift of music. I’m forever grateful and I could not have created the following playlist without her. This is part of my ongoing pratice and project to write “not left unsaid” letters to people who have had an impact on my life. Don’t wait to tell the people you love and care for what they mean to you. Reach out, even if it’s with just a short note, a card, a text, or a voice mail. Leave nothing unsaid when it comes to your appreciation for those who matter most in your life.

Inheritance and Adaptation
It’s difficult for me—as I imagine it would be difficult for any lover of music—to come up with a set playlist of perfect tunes to outline a soundtrack to my life. After all, we are so connected to the music that defines our human experience that choosing some of it to showcase as “important” invariably omits so much more that may be equally important. Of course, being a composer and sound engineer, I see the value in buckling down and making those cuts. Having a wide range of musical taste, I could give you the jazz version, classical version, punk version, music box arrangements of video game music version (not even kidding) of my life; I could give you countless combinations of the above and more. What’s more, it could refer to an aspect of my personality, a time in my life, or an overarching biographical soundtrack. I’m going to go with the full-on biography, which means it will be harder to choose the songs to represent the journey, but let’s see how it plays out!

Time travel Soundtrack
"We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't." -Unknown.
