A Playful And Lay-ful Playlist For Every Me

 I noticed that I haven't written anything about music. I cannot play any instruments, except a recorder that I have had to learn at school. Actually I like composing music on the phone with some basic apps, but it was just a hobby. I have mentioned that I am interested in the Korean language, culture and music. So, my playlist mostly consists of Korean and English based music. I will also add some Turkish songs that my parents and friends suggested to me. I also like classical music which consists of some violin and piano elements. Although I don't have much repertoire in classical music, I might not add every amazingly produced songs. I am making up together many songs here in a short time, so probably I won't be able to remember all of them, especially those foreign songs that I used to listen on the radio when I was a child. I will also write down some songs which don't have good lyrics but have good instrumentals, at least for me. You may not have the same taste wi...
