*death metal scream* YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I think this is for the music ask right? I hope so cuz that’s what i’m doing it for 

8:Songs that you could listen to forever and never get tired of?

Dvorak’s New World Symphony, Of The Night by Bastille, Take Me To Church by Hozier, In The Long Run by The Staves, almost every number from the Broadway version of The Lion King, Touch by Troye Sivan

9:Songs that you’ve played so many times you’re sick of it?

In Your Arms by Hellogoodbye (this one was a rediscovery and I listened to it for like 3 days straight and now it’s like ehh), the acoustic version of Carry On by Fun. (the original version I can still listen to though idk), Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons (this one used to get me so revved up and then it lost its touch)

10:Any songs bring back bad/sad memories?

Barlights by Fun. is a song that I guess I listened to a lot during fall play freshman year, and now I can’t really listen to it anymore because the association is so strong and it makes me feel so stressed and anxious. Also No One by Alicia Keys is a song I had stuck in my head this one night at a family reunion campout thing when it was storming and out tent was leaking and my sister and I were there without our parents and it was just not a good experience so there’s that one too. 

11:Any songs bring back happy memories?

Sooo many though. Copland’s Appalachian Spring and October by Eric Whitacre remind me of this past year’s contest show. Golden Age by KT Tunstall, Fidelity by Regina Spektor, and Aurora Awakes by John Mackey all remind me of Almost, Maine. Believer by American Authors reminds me of summer and being at my best friend’s house. Take Me to Church by Hozier and Rather Be and Real Love by Clean Bandit make me think of Legends camp. Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy reminds me of being in Florida. Hey Mami by Sylvan Esso always reminds me of Saturday mornings driving to CYWS. Mambo Hot by Victor Lopez, Caravan by Juan Tizol, Malagueña by Ernesto Lecuona, and 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago all remind me of performing at Night Town, and Summertime from Porgy and Bess just reminds me of summer jazz band in general.  I could go on and on.

28:What song/album inspires you creatively?

It’s not my normal listening, but every single one of Florence and The Machine’s songs makes me want to choreograph like mad. Not sure why.

50:Mini rant about any musical topic, go!

Music education, music education, music education. School systems are letting it slide more than ever and I think that it just a ginormous, colossal mistake. Access to music instruction and materials could change a kid’s life in the most drastic ways, whether it be allowing them to find something that they’re good at after always struggling in school, providing goals or focus in their life, or  even just providing a mental and emotional escape/outlet. Music is universal, music is omnipresent, music unites people in a way that nothing else can. The more people who can tap into it, the better, and the best place to start fostering a love or at least an awareness of music is in school. It is so important.

4.  what do you think about most?

I think in song lyrics mostly, so usually I’m ruminating about earworms (ofc a song that gets stuck in your head, not an actual worm haha)

8.  if you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

I like to go shopping, so I’m usually at the mall or JCPenney’s.  You can never have too many clothes!

13.  what is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?

My greatest weakness: that I cry too much around my parents, because everything they say rubs me wrong and I’m uber-sensitive in their crass presence

Greatest strength: I’m not sure.  I guess it would be that I’m a wonderful listener.  I’ll listen to anything anyone has to say.

46. can insanity bring on more creativity?

Yes, definitely.

53. what would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth about?

If I truly love my family (and everyone in it).

57. you have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice.  who is it?

I’d say Adam Levine.

how gorgeous!  was this in Bangladesh?
