Here are the answers for the
music meme. Thanks to

scintilla10 and
svgurl for the questions!
4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?
There's nothing inherently wrong with the
Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.
7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?
No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P
8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?
I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).
10. Favorite solo artist?
Halsey or Demi Lovato.
The rest of the questions:
14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:
21. A song or album from this year or last year:
Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.
22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?
28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?
Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.
35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:
No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!
38. Which was the first concert you went to?
I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?
40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.
42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):
Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).
49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?
Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).
56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:
A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)
