Nick

Met this great guy from Arizona, Nick, a radiology major at the University of Northern Arizona. Although we didn't talk long, he gave me two song suggestions. "Helena" by My Chemical Romance and "Northern Downpour" by Panic! at the Disco. Thanks bro!

Tyler

First things first. I had NO idea that Dollar Tree had everything for a dollar! I've only ever been to Dollar General where everything can be up to twenty bucks, but Dollar Tree... it's my new addiction.

Anyway, I had the fortune of meeting this great guy named Tyler at this new obsession store of mine. After chatting for a minute, I asked him his favorite song, and with some consideration, he wrote down "Not Afraid" by Eminem. I love this song, so good choice Tyler!

Thanks for your suggestion and for being so chill man.
May we meet again.

Kaylee

This girl at the gas station. I'm laughing. I commented on her necklace (I thought it was Avatar: the Last Airbender and was about to have a geek out moment) and she immediately mentioned how her boyfriend got it for her. Now I thought it was odd until I realized that she thought I was hitting on her. XD As funny as I think that is, since when has complimenting someone only been excused if we are also hitting on them? I think its kind of sad but I wish you the best of luck anyway! Her song was "Fine by Me" by Andy Grammar and I gave her "Lost on You" by LP.

Thanks Kaylee for your song! Hope you have a better day than I did. :)
May we meet again.

Hannah - Author

During a shift at work today, my coworker, Hannah, and I, got to talking about music. She mentioned how she was always on the hunt for new stuff and after exchanging a few songs, I asked her for her favorites. She said "Mansion" by NF, a Christian rapper that I now follow, and "Jesus Wept" by Sia, one of my all time favorite artists in a song I hadn't heard yet. I had her listen to "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit and "She Wolf" by David Guetta & Sia, and I knew we were going to get along. So I have invited her to start writing on here and I think she'll bring some awesome stuff to the table including her mad writing skills and new music. :)

Welcome Hannah! I can't wait to see what you can come up with on here. :)

Josie

While frantically making flashcards at the dead of night in a 24-hour restaurant, me and my friend Lauren chatted on and off with our waitress, a lovely woman named Josie, about a variety of things. The song she chose to write down for me was "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. Now I have heard OF this song, but never listened to it before. Now I'm not a major fan of his voice, but I really appreciate the sound of the song and its message. Most interestingly though, we found out that our waitress has a Masters Degree in medicine. Now had we not talked at length, she probably would never have told us. I am just completely validated in my resolve to talk with anyone and everyone. I feel like we should all be doing this though, because you never know the people you will meet and the relationships you can make with anyone! Never judge a person by their appearance.

Thank you Josie for serving us, for your suggestion, and for being kick-ass awesome!
May we meet again.

Laura

I met this great, outgoing girl today named Laura through my EMT Certification courses. When I asked her for her favorite song, she wrote, "You and Me" by Lifehouse. First of all, I love this song, but second, it really showed me that Laura has many different sides. See, Laura is this awesome person who will talk to anyone, super confident about herself, and makes friends easily. On top of that though, I feel like (by listening to her favorite song) she knows more than many people the value of appreciating what you have while you have it. More specifically, because everything is in the wind, and nothing is permanent, you need to do all you can with the thing or person you have. This is a good thought for me to cling to. Many times I find that I do not appreciate the people I have, the friendships I've made, the job that I am privileged with, and I need to change my attitude sometimes. AND can I just say, I love this guy's voice. Absolutely hypnotic.

Thank you Laura for your friendly spirit and your awesome suggestion!
May we meet again.

Lindsey

At a local bar and grill establishment tonight, well known for its western theme, karaoke night Thursdays, and its impressive menu cooking. Me and my roommate Lauren were waited by a very kind young woman named Lindsey. Afterward, I asked for her favorite song. It took her a second, but she said the song she really loved right now was "Lost On You" by LP. Now this is not an artist that I've ever heard before, but after listening to it, I am COMPLETELY obsessed with LP and her incredible voice! I'm still not sure which gender the artist intends on being, but I don't think it really matters. LP's voice is meant for singing, and meant to be heard. I eagerly await having some more free time so I can look for more songs by Laura Pergolizzi (under the stage name LP).

Thank you Lindsey for being so cool and for your awesome suggestion!
May we meet again.

Bee

Today, I pulled up to the gas station with my "empty" light flashing yellow at me (I'm not great at remembering to fill my tank) and got out to pay cash at the booth. This nice, young gal named Bee helped me and I asked her for her song in return for my two suggestions. I wrote my favorite songs at the moment "Rockabye" by Clean Bandit and "Burn With Me" by Amaranthe and slid the paper through the metal box. She sent back a second paper with the song "Clairvoyant" by The Story So Far. A simpler song with a nice background guitar and melancholy tones.

Thank you Bee for being you and for your wonderful suggestion!
May we meet again.
