The Strange is Beautiful

Guest #1: Madi Pignetti

“Dan the Dancer” by Mitski

this song tugs at my heart strings and reminds me of all of the good and bad parts of my first intimate relationship. honestly i can’t even listen to this song because it makes me too sad every time

Guest #2: Ami West

“Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato

I chose this song because it really helped me through a rough time in my life it really makes me weak emotionally but in a good way.

Guest #3: Bernadette Bolańos

“Above It All” by Vel the Wonder

This song is a great representation of what it feels like to be a survivor of abuse and trauma. As a survivor of sexual abuse myself, I can relate to a lot of the lyrics and when I’m feeling low it’s a good reminder that I am resilient and can live my life ‘above it all’.

Guest #4: Janie Johnson

“A&E” by Goldfrapp

I love songs that juxtapose two different moods. In this song, the beat communicates lightness while the lyrics present sadness. This song reminds me of the deep urge we all have to be cared for by the ones we love and the disappointment that can come with that.
