mixtape/playlist memories

In his memoir Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time, Rob Sheffield centers each chapter around a mix tape from his own life and uses the songs to narrate and explore the love and loss of his wife. Assemble  a mix tape, or rather, a playlist of your own. Write down the names of songs that were important to you at a particular time in your life, and build outwards from there to begin your essay. Reflect on that moment when you first heard these songs. Was it in a car, or on your headphones, or did someone share them with you? What is it about the music or the lyrics that is meaningful you?

This essay must be 1000 words minimum.  

The three songs that were meaningful to me growing up were chris brown say goodbye, 50 cent many men, and Kirk franklin do you want a revolution.
