Autobiography Intent– PaigeB

My Life in Song

Summary

My idea for this autobiography is to show my life in the songs that I listen to on a day to day basis.

Description

Most of us listen to music everyday. Personally, I like to listen to music that reflects how I’m feeling at that time. For instance, I listen to slow contemporary music when I’m feeling down, and upbeat pop music when I’m feeling happy. My goal for this intent is to track the type of music i listen to every day/week for 6 months to see if I can look back and determine the type of mood I may have been in at the time. This is an excellent way for someone who enjoys music to track their daily mental health. I would create daily playlist of the music I was listening too and compile them together at the end of the week.  I would then put then organize and label the songs by genre and put the most prominent genre on each day of the calendar.

Budget

As far as budget is concerned, this wouldn’t break the bank. At most you’re paying for a spotify subscription, which for students cost about $5 a month. Otherwise, laptops and computers are programed with free customizable calendars.

  • if you made a collage of lyrics/snippets of song, that might be more substantive…i do think music reflects who we are (as consumers?), but you’re leaving ALL the creativity to the musicians; where’s your creative input? can you find some way to shape the music so it reflects you?

  • I thought this was a really good idea! My idea is similar with doing something involving peoples moods. I like how the songs are going to change based on a persons current mood. I know when I have different moods I like listening to songs that are based on how I am feeling. I think this is a good way to help people with their emotions and especially people who are really into music.
