Britney Spears - Stronger - I feel this is a good "me" song because my 1st love was bi and he cheated on me and left me for a woman, this song got me through those dark times and empowered me to realize that a blowjob a day will keep the hoes away.
Donna Summer - She Works Hard For The Money - When I worked the streets with my mom to fund her crack habit, this was my JAM. And it is still true, I work hard for that money and I better be treated right.
Hannah Montana - Nobody's Perfect - I've lived and learned that we all have some shady past moments but nobody is perfect, all we can do is try our best, don't stay down, try again.
My trinity represents me as the strong, hard working, imperfect person that I am.

△▲Natasha Beddingfield - Unwritten▲△
I chose this song because it describes 'me' the best. I still don't know what I am looking for in love, I still don't know what kind of job I want to do for the rest of my life, I don't know what my good personality traits are. I feel like I am still evolving with all the new information I learn everyday. But what made me connect me the most to this song, was that the song talks about how only you can write your own story. And even though I haven't made a big story of my life, at least I know I will be deciding the direction
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in

△▲Kanye West - Coldest Winter▲△
This song is really emotional and personal for me, a few years ago I lost my grandmother in February. Kanye made this song presumably for the death of his mother. Ever since I lost my grandmother, I discovered my big fear: death. I am scared of the end of life, I am scared of losing people I love. That's why the Coldest Winter really speaks to me, 'will I ever love again' after I lose the people closest to me?
If spring can take the snow away
Can it melt away all our mistakes?..

△▲Rihanna - What Now▲△
The final song in the trinity, is the one from my favorite artist. I discovered her when Umbrella was released, and was instantly in love. I chose for What Now, because it connects to me the most on how I stand in life as of now. I don't know what I can still expect from my future, I don't have a clear vision before my eyes of my future. Since I'm only 16 years old, I have some big choices to make for my future in the upcoming years, and I honestly don't know if I'm ready for those choices. I don't know how to feel about it. As Rihanna makes clear in the song, she doesn't know what to do anymore in life, and I feel the same way, considering I still don't know the direction of my life.
What now, I just can't figure it out

IcarusIsFlying's "Me" Trinity
Lorde - Ribs
Lorde is my favourite artist not just because her music and sound is incredible, but also because so much of her debut album feels relatable to me. I chose Ribs because it's a song about missing your childhood and also being scared for the future. Having lived away from home for 2 years now, these feelings feel very relevant to me. And I live in New Zealand too so there's that.
Sam Smith - Drowning Shadows
Sorry I couldn't find a correctly pitched version on youtube. Go buy it on iTunes fats! Anyway, this song is about deciding whether to go out drinking or to stay home. Getting drunk on the weekend to forget about problems is something I do quite a lot. He's mainly singing about hooking up with guys, but that's not something I do so lets brush over that I'm also English and gay! So much in common.
Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song
I thought I'd throw in a happy song after two kinda sad ones. Doing nothing all day is my favourite activity, so this song fits. I'm also pretty lazy with all my studies and stuff. This song is such a bop still! King of Pop

Alright! Firstly, I think Moments by Tove Lo is an extremely-well written song to the point where nearly anyone can relate to it, so it hardly needs explaining, but here goes. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. And we can walk with all the confidence we want, but deep down there's something we don't like about ourselves. Moments is an absolute CELEBRATION of those insecurities and feelings. Moments is one of my all-time favorite songs and I think the first line of the chorus ("I'm not the prettiest you've ever seen, but I have my moments") is devastating and uplifting and heavenly at the same time, it just really connects with me.
Second is Feet Don't Fail Me Now by Foxes. This choice may seem a little odder, as I guess to some it may seem like another alt pop anthem and nothing really special. Feet Don't Fail Me Now is really representative of my views on life's troubles, however. The song is about a bad situation, but one in which Foxes tells herself that she has to keep going, that "nothing's gonna bring [her] down". There are a lot of ballads about being sad that make me depressed and all, but this is really more my view on troubles -- you have to keep moving, make the best of it, you can't let it hold you down. This song is another one of my absolute favorites.
Lastly, Fingerprints by Katy Perry. This song comes from the first album I heard all the way through when I was in 3rd grade and my mom bought the CD, One of the Boys. Along with the nostalgia factor, when I was that young I didn't dissect the lyrics or anything, so it wasn't until years later that I realized how much I connected with the song. The song's message speaks to me on such a personal level in life. I have such a drive to be remembered and to make something great out of myself. I want to leave my fingerprints on the world the same way Katy sings about and has. This song is my motivation, my philosophy, and my goal. If I had to pick one song to define me, this would be it.
I hope you enjoy my entry!

1.) Know Yourself - Drake
2.) Schoolin' Life - Beyoncé
3.) Million - Tink
Firstly, Know Yourself is pretty self explanatory. There's one line that always stand out for me:
"I've always been me I guess I know myself". I noticed a lot of people haven't "found themselves" even at the age of 20. Tbh, I always felt like who I am now since I was 15. Overall Drake instrumental and rap reflects my state of mind about knowing who I am.
Schoolin' Life is really fitting especially in the title. This song overall is (or will be!) purely accurate. The lines:
Quote:
"This is for them 20s somethings :
Time really moves fast, you were just sixteen"
Childhood memories are still fresh in mind. Feels like it was only a week ago i was laughing with my close friends at a food court in a mall with no care in the world.
The Bridge is also a key part here:
Quote:
"Mom and dad, tryna hide the world
Said the world is just too big for a little girl
Eyes wide open, came to see
I had my first heels by the age of 13
Mom and dad, tryna hide the boys
I swear that just make them want me more
At 14, they asked what I wanna be
I said baby 21, so I get me a drink"
Although I'm not really a girl, the context can still apply to a (gay) guy. Heels could be moment of decided to buy/wear my own clothes. Boys is obvious, Every teen wanted to have a drink or a sip at least.
Final lines I would like to talk about:
Quote:
And this is for them chipper somethings:
That's high on life, baby, put me on your flight
I'm always positive even in the gloomiest of situations. I prefer to remind that way because as Bey described it, it's being high on life.
And the title itself, so far, my entire life had been about school. And I'm most definitely not a teacher but I learned a lot in ~20 years and still have a lot to learn till I'm in my 50s.
And lastly, Million represent my "state of loving" if you would. Every bf I had (only 3) given me a million reasons to trust in them/**** with them. For the first two, I didn't see myself giving up on them but circumstances forced my hands. Hopefully things will last with my current one. The song is very self-explantory about love.
I know these three songs may not flow musically but they are an accurate representation of "Me".
Sam
The first challenge is always the hardest, because you never know what is "too much"
and what is "too little". I debated a few things for this challenge, such as if I should include
a mix of male and female artists, a variety of genres, some bands and groups as well as
solo artists… all things I thought would give my trinity more "diversity", but I realised that
wasn't me, and this challenge is all about me. One look at my last.fm will tell you the type
of music I like; pop music by female solo artists. So I decided that there was no point in
dancing around that, and to just work within that and to try to find the three best songs
that represent me over the years. I've included one song for each letter of my name.
S is for Scar…
Missy Higgins' 2004 single "Scar" was so important to me growing up. It really is quite an
iconic Australian song and Missy's biggest commercial success, launching a rather successful
career for her in the mid 2000's. I remember sitting my seven-year-old self in front of the
television of a weekend watching the 'rage' music video channel and loving this song. It's
actually the song that made me want to learn how to play the piano, despite the piano falling
apart in the music video. It's me because it represents my Australian background
and childhood perfectly, and signifies the beginning of my fascination with pop music. I can
also relate to the lyrics of the song so well. There are always those people who try to change
who you are to better suit them, and I used to try to fit others' ideas of what was "right", but
I've definitely found myself in the last few years and learned to just be me.
"A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle…"
A is for Animal…
No "Me" trinity would be complete without some Kesha, who is undeniably my favourite artist.
"Animal" just so happens to be my favourite Kesha song, from my favourite album, in my
favourite genre (electropop)… in other words, it's about as me as you can get! I'm not
going to go on about how this song "saved my life" and got me through the toughest times
of my life, because it didn't. In fact, this wasn't even my favourite Kesha song until after
'Warrior' was released. It just grew on me so much and really defines my personal growth
throughout my teenage years and how I've matured from the confused teenager with
absolutely no confidence into a young man who really does love who he is, not who he
"should" be. It's been a long journey, but I do feel like I'm finally there. "Animal" is such a
euphoric anthem but it still has a genuine message that I feel I have finally embraced.
"I am in love with what we are, not what we should be…"
M is for Moments…
Which brings me to where I am now, with Tove Lo's current single "Moments". I've been
completely enthralled by Scandinavian artists as of late… Tove Lo, Zara Larsson, MŘ,
Ina Wroldsen, Tove Styrke and Halsey (she's probably bi-Swedish for all we know) just to
name a few. Tove Lo's 'Truth Serum' EP is the only thing that got me through my final exams
last year if I'm honest, I just had it on repeat for days and days while I was studying. Back to
"Moments", this song pretty much sums up how I view myself. I'm not perfect, but I've learned
to accept that. Some days I'll look in the mirror and not actually be repulsed by the figure
glaring back at me. In fact, those days when I do are pretty much behind me. I've
learned to accept my flaws, live with them and move on. Life goes on. You can't get hung
up on things like that, things you can't change. I'm just going to focus on the future.
"I'm not the prettiest you've ever seen, but I have my moments…"

I'm all about effort and sacrifice because I believe success won't be achieved without them. Success also requires hard work, focus, perseverance, and persistence over a long period. I realized and that is why I chose this following song. Someday I reap what I sow but for now...
I am patient
Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

There is no reason for me to not taking the chance, embracing the risk. The biggest enemy of an opportunity is fear to do so. The following song is the source of energy to push my fear away. There are many of us who waste the opportunity because we fear of failures. However that's not who I am because...
I am fearless
Imagine Dragons - On Top of The World

I love to make other people laugh, smile, and feel good because one of the best things in this world is when you are surrounded by happy people. This song represents my warmer side and it means that...
I am affectionate

As one of the most ridiculed and criticized people on this site, I find it fitting that I start off with the most criticized song on Delirium, because it describes my attitude towards life and myself right now. I'll do what I love and do what I want, regardless of what anyone thinks. I've tried twice to talk about myself highly in the last two seasons as well as in a few cycles of ATRL's Next Top Member, only to either be rejected or not do that well. I've realized there's no point in talking highly about my real life adventures because no one on here will understand it. No one. Not the judges, not the other contestants. No one. Only I understand myself. So I'm just going to do what I love and let my actions speak louder than my words. That's why this starts off my trinity.
My connection to Can't Be Tamed is more intimate than most people. I'm autistic, was diagnosed with it at 3. I am on the high-functioning end of it, classified originally as Aspergers Syndrome. You wouldn't be able to tell I have it because I've overcome it for the most part and am able to talk with people pretty fine for the most part. But I think differently than most people, which is why when this song came out, the bridge really stuck with me ("I'm not a trick you play, I'm wired a different way. I'm not a mistake, I'm not a fake, it's set in my DNA"). That's how I feel when it comes to what I have. When it combined with the song's overall rebellious nature, it went on to become my theme song for life. And it still is to this day. I'm proud of who I am and I won't let autism get in the way of what I want to do in life.
When I broke out of my shell in high school, I was 14, the same year One of the Boys came out and the same year I became a member on ATRL. I'm now almost 22 and I'm starting to look back on how my life has been so far. I really enjoyed high school and my college experience so far has been pretty decent too. ATRL also remains one of my favorite sites to go on. I've gotten the chance to meet and become friends with so many people and I continue to do that right now in college. And looking back, there is at least one person I can think of that remembers me from every school I've gone to and members on here know me enough to rank me in the Top 40 of ATRL's Most Influential members. I just want to leave a mark anywhere I go and this song represents that. And so far I think I have. I look forward to what life has in store for me as things look up.

None of the videos seem to be working for me. I tried multiple versions. Are they working for you?
Kelly Clarkson - "Maybe"
"I don't want to be tough
And I don't want to be proud
I don't need to be fixed and I certainly don't need to be found
I'm not lost
I need to be loved"
This song has been my all time favorite song since the moment I first heard it. I was 15, angsty, and still figuring out life. All my emotions got wrapped up in this one song, and never have I felt so close to a song like I have with this one.
Lady Gaga - "Just Dance"
"Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmm
Just dance"
To go the complete opposite direction, this seems like it may be a vapid song, but I've always held this kind of mentality as a life motto. I'm often told that I have thick skin, and I'm very good at just keeping it moving when life isn't going well. Water off a duck's back. When everything seems to be going to hell, I just blast this song and dance around my apartment in my underwear, and in those few minutes, everything seems like it's gonna be okay.
Avril Lavigne - "Anything But Ordinary"
"Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby"
This is my ~special snowflake~ song. I first heard this song when I was 11, and it's always stuck with me. It pushes me to live my life to the fullest, and enjoy every moment of it. I don't want to be some basic bitch, I want to be anything but ordinary....please.

I chose this song as it's the perfect beginning to who I am now. This song was a marriage of one love at the time to another love that developed later. When I was growing up, I really didn't listen to most normal music that others listened too. Other than the rare Ace of Base or Madonna album, my parents let me listen to Classical and World music. I developed a love for musicians like Vanessa Mae, 12 Girls Band, Bond, and most importantly Cirque du Soleil. For those who don't know, Cirque Du Soleil uses lyrics from several different languages, including a language made up by Cirque themselves. And since I have been in gymnastics my whole life, my life started to revolve around Cirque, watching their shows and listening to their music. I would spend hours outside, dancing and tumbling to Cirque du Soleil soundtracks, pretending I was in a show of my own. A remix album they released, including this remix by Tiesto, introduced me to electronic music which shortly became my favorite genre because of the similarities between it and Classical music, such as the heavy instrumental and very strong melodies. So this song represents everything on how I became who I am today, music wise as well as personally.

Ever since the beginning of high school, though I wasn't out yet I was pretty much the token gay friend that was just there for all my other friends. I was the third wheel, fifth wheel, seventh wheel, ect. I was always on my own. Into college, I tried dating but something always happened right before we came official (moving back to Germany, moving back to Mexico, deciding they were straight (x2), ect.) so I never got that feeling of being with someone until my current boyfriend (who happens to be my first). Though I'm never was really sad about my love life, so I never was one who listened to really emotional music about it. This song to me still had an element of fun to it, so I could happily jam out to it about my love life and not dwell on the negatives.

This song means a lot to be more two reasons. My mom's favorite artist is Elvis, so we would frequently listen to all of Elvis's records, and this song was her favorite of his. Also, when my boyfriend asked me out officially after a few months of dating on Valentine's Day, this was the first song that played at the restaurant we were eating at and that we danced to. This song is one of my favorites because of it reminding me of my two favorite people. Each big date my boyfriend and I go to, we always listen to this song together sometime during it. And if/when we get married, it'll be the first dance song.
