Assignment 23- Julian Perry

Hello, and welcome to the Julian Perry Chillaxxx to the Max Party Album. After a long day of partying (or anything else, really), it's nice to wind down with a 5 song playlist designed to do just that.
1. Porcelain by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is the first song on the list, not at all by accident. This song starts softly with a slow, but defined and steady beat. It's something you can nod your head to, while at the same time fall asleep. The mixture of a strong, encompassing beat and white noise create a soothing mood for the playlist. 
2. Nightmoves by Michael Franks takes #2 on the list, because it's more lively than the previous song. You don't want to fall asleep after only two songs. This song keeps a defined (but soft) beat to maintain the mood of the playlist. Repetitive melody makes Nightmoves an easy listen. 
3. Grapevine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie  is the climax of the playlist, but certainly not the end. The beat is quite lively, and builds to allow for a point to slow down from. Simplicity is still key here, making Grapevine Fires a very calming song even as the most intense in the playlist. 
4. The Worst Day Since Yesterday by Flogging Molly comes in at number four as a reflective song with a repetitive chorus scattered throughout. It's introspective and leads well into number five. 
5. Headlights by Eminem is a very overlooked song, mainly for the name attached to it. Eminem isn't a family-oriented artist, but as Headlights shows he is very capable of self-reflection. Packed with emotion, and supported by a simple but brilliant beat, this song wraps up the mood of the playlist quite well. It ends the playlist on a high note of forgiveness and understanding.
