The Perks of Being A Wallflower: Winter Songs


When I was reading Wallflower, it occured to me that I needed to share a little of what it offered. It's superb. When I came upon this passage:

"I had an amazing feeling when I finally held the tape in my hand. I just thought to myself that in the palm of my hand, there was this one tape that had all of htese memories adn feelings and great joy and sadness. Right there in the palm of my hand. And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote on of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope that they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.

it was as if reading a passage from my mind... except made profoundly clear so that others could understand. Understand what it is that I get out of making playlists. The following is a playlist made from and inspired by the music from the book. In the style of Charlie I hope.

"I hope it's the kind of second side that [you] can listen to whenever [you] drive alone and feel like [you] belong to something whenever [you're] sad. I hope it can be that for [you]"

Enjoy.
