2. Powerful Workout
Energetic, Mighty
Running on the Canal
Boxing - Punching Bag in the Gym

3. About “Powerful Workout”
• In order for me to work out, I have to feel motivated, energetic, and powerful.
Listening to music helps me achieve that feeling
o The music can help create, stimulate the mindset I need
• People who severely need lots of powerful and energetic sounding music to help
them to be able to work out would listen to this playlist
o The people want to work out and know that it’s good for them, but it’s really difficult for them to
feel motivated to exercise
• The music I’ve selected is powerful and energetic to help the listener to feel that
way too. There’s lots of “loud” rock and alternative rock to convey confidence. The
tempos of the songs are relatively quick to keep one moving at a fast pace for their
workout

5. Warm Bed
Chill, Happy, Relaxed, Content
Laying in Warm Bed Doing Nothing,
No Worries

6. About “Warm Bed”
• Taking time to relax is always nice and beneficial. For me, that’s just simply lying
down in a warm bed, doing nothing, with no worries to occupy my mind
• Someone who needs to calm down or relax would listen to this playlist
o The people most likely have trouble “emptying their mind” of their worries when they want to not
worry about them for a bit, so listening to this playlist can help them to get to that mindset of no
worries for a little bit
• The music is relatively soft with relatively slow tempos to help slow down and relax
the listener’s mind as well

Elevator Might Drop
Hiding, Need to Stay Quiet to not get Caught

9. About “Sinister”
• Being scared is very important: it helps us to make sure we don’t get hurt and
ensures we survive in this world
o For me, my family has always loved Halloween, horror movies, scary stories, etc., so I grew up with
that and it holds a special place in my heart
• Someone who enjoys listening to scary-sounding music would like this playlist
o The people most likely feel empowered and powerful when listening to music like this
• The music I’ve selected features lots of minor keys of music to convey that scary,
uneasy, anxious, and suspenseful feeling. Some songs are soft and some are loud,
but the tunes and melodies all utilize minor keys
