While I was browsing posts here on Steemit, I stumbled upon @hardikv 's "challenge" to post 5 songs I like. And as a lover of art, you can absolutely find art in music! I hope you find art in my tunes. 🎵 😊

<b>#1: COLDPLAY - MAGIC</b>

I've always loved Coldplay and their songs since I was younger. This is one of their quite older songs, published 2014.
<br>I just love this song because it makes me think of good memories of travel. It's also kind of relaxing. I don't know if some will agree that Coldplay's songs are kind of "psychedelic" - but absolutely in a good way. 

<b>#2: DJ SNAKE ft. BIPOLAR SUNSHINE - MIDDLE</b>

I TOTALLY love this song! This was released over 2 years ago, but the excitement and the good vibes I feel when this is playing are still the same. This is something you listen when you are on a roadtrip, on a plane, or just in your PJs at home. Therefore, this song is a 'feel good' song, that's why I love it.

<b>#3: LOGIC ft. ALESSIA CARA and KHALID - 1-800-273-8255</b>

This is one of the most emotional and thought-filled songs I love. If you haven't heard of this, I RECOMMEND YOU DO. LISTEN TO IT, ESPECIALLY THE LYRICS. Here's a longer version of the song, but I recommend you watch this first before you listen to the original one, as it tells a story. 

In this song, the rapper Logic has been successful in sharing to the world HOW IMPORTANT MENTAL HEALTH is. And it all starts with acceptance, support and love, especially from your family and loved ones. 

Please, listen to this, it's a very powerful song.

<b>#4: LUKAS GRAHAM - 7 YEARS</b>

I had to include this on my list, because it reminds me of childhood and achieving your dreams. It tells a story to soar high and reach for your dreams, but NEVER FORGET what matters most - FAMILY, especially your PARENTS.

<b>#5: THE CRANBERRIES - ODE TO MY FAMILY </b>

This is my tribute to Dolores O'Riordan, The Cranberries' vocalist. I want her to know their songs put color to my life. 

This song reminds me of family and childhood memories. Oh how lovely it is look back to my childhood years when the family was still complete and there's nothing to think about than to play and enjoy life!

<br>
<br>So that's my take on the #mondaymixtape! 😃 I hope you see the beauty in these songs the way that I do!
<br>
<br>
Sharing you life's art and everything in between,
<br>
