Everyone has really good responses. To answer your questions, Stephanie, here are the results.
Music that gets me through hard times: My mind is a random record/CD player, so it can be anything melancholic a la Say Something by A Great Big World. This sounds cheesy, but I actually listen to this song of what could have been with this guy. I moved on from him since I got a lot of other fun activities going on. Anything encouraging from Beyonce (Single Ladies), Firework by Katy Perry. On occasion, I’ve listened to tough rock music from Halestorm, Nirvana, and Bullet for My Valentine. So as you can see, I’ll listen to anything except for heavy metal, rap, hip-hop (if it’s old school, i’ll listen to a tune), and techno.

Good times: Anything happy. Taylor Swift, Esperanza Spalding, and yes, that Happy song by Pharrell. But mostly Swift since she’s a hopeless romantic like me.

Party times: Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, anything catchy. I love Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

When I’m alone: Again, anything I feel like listening to. Love songs, something fun to dance to. I’m a huge fan of music from the 50s and 60s.
