Crystal’s Feel Good Playlist

Crystal Martinez, Contributing Journalist

This playlist is jam-packed full of my top songs for good vibes! Some of these songs are of sentimental value, others are just really good songs. 

Standout songs include:

Alicia Keys – It’s On Again (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) ft. Kendrick Lamar

I hold this song very close to my heart because I love Andrew Garfield’s spider-man, but also, this song came out when I was little, and it was my favorite song at the time. We would listen to it on the way to school every single day. Plus, it’s just a really good song Alicia

 Keys – It’s On Again (Audio) ft. Kendrick Lamar

Mac Miller – The Spins

Mac Miller is an amazing music artist, he passed away back in September of 2018, but his music still lives on to carry his legacy. The Spins is a really catchy and upbeat song that makes me feel happy.

The Features – From Now On

It’s from one of my favorite movie franchises, Twilight. The Features are a very good band, and this is my favorite song by them. This song makes me feel like I’m driving around with my friends.

From Now On

Clairo – Pretty Girl

Clairo is like a soft music artist, her voice sounds like it’s fluffy. All of her songs are mostly upbeat with some kind of soft beat with little to no bass. This song is about a past relationship Clairo was in, and how she felt she had to be the perfect girl for another person.

Dayglow – Can I Call You Tonight?

Perfect song for the beach, or just summer in general. This song makes me feel free from all the troubles of the world. It’s just a really chill and upbeat song that makes you feel good.
