My Playlist for Days of Distraction

I don't use my iPod that much actually. I usually need complete silence when I work and plus I get distracted trying to find that perfect song I want to listen to while I work. I do play with my phone, but not to the point where I will die if it isn't in my hand 24/7. It's just a thing I use to call, text, and use the internet if my computer is slow (but I can't do it without free wi-fi so you know... it's pointless). I get hand-me-down computers from my dad's job. This laptop I'm  using probably weighs like 15 pounds. Technology just isn't important to me unless I need it for one little project or another.
I don't really listen to my iPod unless I'm on a long car ride (and my dad turns on weird Japanese music), I'm having a breakdown, or if I'm just not able to concentrate on my work and I'm on a sugar rush. So my playlist for those "days of distraction" include:

• The Point of No Return - Andrew Lloyd Webber (from the most recent movie soundtrack)
• The Phantom of the Opera - Andrew Lloyed Webber
• Before I Let You Go - Colbie Caillat
• Best of Me - Goo Goo Dolls
• The Resistance (instrumental) - 2 Cellos

The first two songs I have loved since Lauren Gilbert made me watch the Phantom of the Opera to watch the choreography. They are really just works of art and being able to have the movie playing in my head while I'm listening to it just makes it that much better. The Point of No Return is this dramatic song that plays when the Phantom and Christine Daae come together on stage in an opera that the Phantom wrote. I love it because of how it's so dramatic and has this flare to it that I can't even describe. The Phantom of the Opera sounds amazing because of the sound of the electric guitar combined with the opera singers' voices. It's like rock and classic mixed together. 

Before I Let You Go by Colbie Caillat is a favorite of mine because it just winds me down. It has a catchy chorus to it and Caillat has this really soft voice that has this friendly and happy tone to it that it's impossible not to feel happy after listening to it. 

Best of Me is a song from Hawaii Five-O (one of my favorite shows ever). It's usually my pump-up music and just the theme of the whole song, "ain't seen the best of me yet," makes me feel like I have so much potential and I feel like I could do anything (which is not a feeling I have often). 

The Resistance was originally a song made by some band but these two cello players tweaked it so that they could play it on the cello. It sounds extremely awesome to hear a lyrical song played on an instrument that I play. And it's a modern song, not a classic, so it's nice to hear cellists playing something that's not Bach or Popper or those people. It's not a very happy song, but it gives off sort of this hopeful, longing sound to it that makes it sound captivating.
