Often times throughout elementary and middle school, my science classes would watch The Magic School Bus. I absolutely loved watching episodes of this show because I thought it was entertaining and educational. When searching for a show to watch for this assignment, I came across the title The Magic School Bus Rides Again. Since I was very intruded and reminded of my childhood, this is the show I chose. The Magic School Bus Rides Again is a Netflix original, so I streamed it online and watched.

It shows a sense of longing, almost nostalgically, which I can relate to a lot. The simplicity of the instruments creates a very homely feeling that makes me think about the past. Throughout this song, they’re always referencing to going back to a simpler time, and really getting away from their problems and issues. It’s almost like a mirror of

The Pixies are one of my favorite bands. There songs speak to me in ways that other bands songs can’t. They may not be one of the most well-known bands but they inspired a lot of well-known bands such as Nirvana, U2, Weezer, and many more. I first discovered the pixies after the second time I watched fight club which was earlier this year towards the end of my junior year. The first time I watched fight club I was around 10.

The first song on my playlist is "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses. This song captures the chaos and violence that happens on the island in Lord of the Flies. An example of this is the lyrics "Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games" representing the boys initial excitement at their newfound freedom on the island, while the line "You're gonna die!" later in the song reflects the more violent and darker side of human nature the boys show as they become more savage and violent.
