I have loved your playlists from the smokers club tour days. Your mind is pretty Fye💯

Best part of the Playlist from this point 

My introduction to playlists was at 7 years old. My Uncle Des would bring home CDs every night from his job at SONY and put me on to all kinds of artists and sounds. We would sit and listen to albums from front to back, everything from Rakim to Phil Collins. My life is centered around music in so many ways and I owe it to him. He was my biggest inspiration.

He passed away 3 years ago and as I was wrapping up this playlist, I realized we are approaching his birthday. So this ‘We Are Alive’ Playlist 21 is dedicated to him. I miss you every day, Uncle Des.

We Are Alive! (Playlist 3)

You ever forget about yourself? You're present – emotionally and physically – but not for yourself. There was a moment, a weeks-long moment, where I forgot about myself. I listened, I guided, I met expectations and deadlines, I broke down barriers, but not for myself. I asked others "how are you feeling?" but not to myself. I didn't know that this was happening until I was drained. I had to let myself break down, in order for me to build myself up. No ones gonna take care of me like I can. I can't take care of others unless I take care of myself first. I've been learning to keep more of me for me. I've been learning to love me better. I've been learning to focus on those who love me as much as I love them. This playlist is dedicated to self-love and to reminding myself that it's okay to not be okay.  I hope you enjoy! - Steve-Ography

We Are Alive! (Playlist 11)

This isn’t it. I’m sure this isn’t it. There’s more, more to love, more to accomplish, more to share, more to create... Since the year started, I’ve been thinking about how I’m ready to do more. I simply have to look beyond fear. It’s easier said than done, but taking things on one by one helps you to focus your energy. Everything we want is on the other side of fear. I’m going to give my all to be better and do more this year. In the words of Nina Simone, who opens the 12th playlist of my We Are Alive! series, “I’ll tell you what freedom means to me: no fear.” - Steve-Ography

We Are Alive! (Playlist 12)

What’s the first thing you think of when you wake up? Is it positive or negative? It starts with perspective. Lately, I’ve been trying to make good out of any sliver of bad. I’ve been removing ego & pride out of my life, starting with my own. Forgiving those who’ve done me wrong & not holding onto past disagreements. It’s been a tough journey but believing in your talents and your self-worth can empower you to walk down any road. I’m taking risks. I’m exploring feelings I usually would avoid in order to learn about myself and grow. I’m saying yes to fear and transforming it into freedom. This playlist took me 6 months to create, I hope you guys enjoy it!

We Are Alive! (Playlist 13)

It took me six months to curate this playlist. I felt a new emotion with every month. At first it was overwhelming, but it’s because I focused on the expectation versus the intention. Why place pressure on myself and others to measure up to a fantasy, when instead I can focus on the freedom of fulfilling my purpose? You can offer leading roles to those you love, but you can’t control how the storyline of your life will play out. This playlist captures my transition from loving within moments to finding comfort in consistency. By surrounding myself around people that stay true to their character, I can be open to feeling however I feel. Hope you enjoy!

We Are Alive! (Playlist 14)

This playlist took me a month to curate. When starting on it, I was preparing myself for the heat: the heat that the month of June places on me every year, the heat of expectations, this summer heat. I didn’t waver though. This playlist kept me cool, which is why you can listen to any song at any level and you’ll feel the calm. It’s as much for you, as it is for me. 

Time heals all. Sometimes it’s just not on the schedule you’d prefer. Hope you enjoy!

We Are Alive! (Playlist 15)

Process + Peace. 

Process – The motions we go through, the moves we make to avoid bad habits or grasp love is a process. We all have a process of our own. It took me a minute to realize what my process is. I’ve grown to respect it and adjust it to fit who I want to become. 

Peace – Peace is sacred. I’ve fought many and myself to attain it. I ran around anxiously just trying to make it. But I didn’t know 10 years ago, that this is where I wanted to be - at peace. I struggled, but throughout it, I found pieces of peace in expression. These playlists were my form of expressing how I felt, especially when I didn’t have the words to. Expression was what kept me sane. It fueled my creativity. Expression leads me here. I’ve reached peace.

I hope you enjoy!

We Are Alive! (Playlist 16)

Although it’s a special day today–as I turn 37 🎈– it also feels like any other day from the last few months, which I’m grateful for.

As crazy as this year has been, it’s actually brought me back to me. I’ve had the time and space to focus on myself, relieved from outside pressures to be some way or to do something. I’ve been going with the flow. I’ve been riding the wave of inspiration as it comes, and during the lows, I let myself rest. I’ve never felt more at peace than today.

In time for my birthday, I wanted to curate a playlist that feels like calmness coming over you as you ride a bike through the city, which is what I will be doing today. 1luv!
