What songs matter to you now？What kind of music have you been listening to recently? How do certain songs or artists make you feel? What songs do you think are important or significant right now?

Due to the current circumstances, everyone has to stay at home for safety considerations, so I like to listen to songs that are hopeful and motivating. One song that I often listen to recently is Counting Stars by OneRepublic. I love this song because some of the lyrics are matching what I feel now and matching with the current situation as well. For example, ” Lately I been, I been losing sleep” this reflects my current status, which is not being able to sleep, it is just I think my sleep quality is not as good. Because of this, I actually think a lot and reflect a lot at night, and I believe I got benefits from that. This matches the following lyrics “I been praying hard. Said no more counting dollars we will be counting stars” in the normal daily routine, people are too busy to work on school works or manage businesses so we are paying less attention to the environment and the people around us. Therefore, when we all have the chance to slow things down and stay at home, I realized that staying home is not as bad as I thought and instead, I found that I have not been staying with my family or accompany them for so long and it feels so nice to spend the night or afternoons to video call them every day and we share news and updates together. It is just simple activities but I enjoy them more than anything. It is just like the lyrics when people should not value money so much and hopes to “count money” but instead enjoy the time with people that we love and care and the environment that we are situated in, one simple activity like “counting stars” together would make us feel at peace.
