Echo-pella: Songs To Feel Yourself To

Echo-pella: Songs To Feel Yourself To

Because sometimes you just need to feel sexy and beautiful.

Welcome to another edition of Echo-pella, readers! It’s now the middle of the year, July 1st. As you reflect on what you’ve done for the past 6 months, how do you feel? Do you feel accomplished? Happy? Or maybe it’s disappointment that you haven’t been yourself as of late? Maybe tough exams or social life has made you feel a bit down. In any case, what you need is a confidence boost. Something that recharges your brain and makes it say “I’m going to succeed”. In other words, you need something that’ll make you feel confident and even sexy.

Describing something as “sexy” doesn’t always refer to sexual appeal, by the way. It can also refer to something very exciting or appealing. And if that’s something that you feel the need to embody at the moment, we’ve got a playlist of songs for you to feel yourself to, whether you need a boost to your self-confidence, and yes, a boost in sexual confidence as well. It’s time to love yourself, people!

We all understand the immense fear of doing something that requires us to give our all and even a piece of our soul. We have all been through that particular situation. Whether it is something as common as walking into the hall to sit for the biggest exam of your life or looking down the stretch of the swimming pool as you climb up the diving board in a tournament, the beating of your heart drowns out all the sounds around you and all you are left with is your courage deep inside. And maybe even Shia LaBeouf screaming “Just do it!” in your head.

It’s that time of the year again where pumpkins become (almost) everyone’s food of choice and dressing to look like blood sucking ghouls or the undead is the thing of the season. Oddly enough, it’s almost as if people prefer impersonating some of the most execrable fictional personalities to ever grace the earth with heinous witches and despicable clowns being notable favourites — and who could blame them?

Imagine that you’re in a store- may it be picking out clothes or scanning through the chip aisle in a grocery store and suddenly, Katy Perry’s Roar crackles through the store speakers. More often than not, most people would be washed over with memories from their childhood or past with the mental imagine being more vivid the more enjoyable the song. For me I get brought back to sharing a computer with my sister laughing at Wassabi Productions rendition of the song with Rolanda’s beautiful face flashing across the screen. Good times.

Welcome to our brand new installation―Echo-pella, a special segment specially dedicated to songs. Listening to music is almost intrinsic and has become an essential characteristic to humans. In honour of our theme of the month, music is not only a form of artistic, creative and aesthetic expression, but it also has an immense revolutionary quality. Throughout history, this has been expressed in songs which represent a desire for change. From protesting and condemning unjust situations in our socio-political reality, to capturing revolutionary movements and raising hope for a better future. This expands music into a canvas encompassing the expression of our human experience and journey. Music is an entire language on its own which has had a significant cultural and political impact on real-life events all around the world; bringing positive change at historic moments. It also has the ability to unite and connect people from different walks of life and may even have the power to change the world.
