Sometimes, it takes me a minute to curate my We Are Alive! playlists. It's a time, and an opportunity, for me to sit down with my feelings and process everything I've lived through and loved since the last playlist I published. Playlist no. 10 is centered around love. This past year, I've loved the hardest and let myself be vulnerable to myself and to others. It's been a challenge and I've learned a lot about love and those who I love(d), including myself. This playlist expresses me facing love at my most vulnerable. I hope you enjoy! - Steven Othello

We Are Alive! (Collection)

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.

These Signs

For the past 7 years, I have welcomed the New Year by running into it, starting at around 11:30 PM. As I pound the pavement, memories from the past year come rushing back to me, like a romantic comedy set in the bustling streets of New York City (if only life were a movie, right?). I reflect on all the things I've achieved, the lessons I've learned, and the amazing people I've met. And at the stroke of midnight, I take a deep breath and set new intentions for the year ahead. The songs on this playlist are the perfect accompaniment to my personal romantic comedy, and I hope they help bring some new vibes into your life too. If you give them a listen, I'd love to hear about the special moments you create while enjoying some of my favorite jams. Wishing you peace and love.

lyrics:
hi wifey <3
mwah!
we could get down, would you let me know
i'm dancing all alone
and i'm tired of feeling cold
but your touch
got me heated bout to blush i

miss it
need it
crave ya
i'm pleading

keep those hands on me
know that i ain't cheap
spending your time on me
i'm the most expensive kind
of luxury
that currency
can't pay for this
conversion fee
i'm too pricey
just so icey

if i move to the back 
would you do it for me?
pull up, up front
imma get this shit
goinę

and if you ain't got
no bands
i ain’t shaking no ass

pourin d'ussé
we gettin litty in tha back of dotty's
aye

i’m cooling
sitting
real pretty in front your seat
know you want this bad
you don’t got no bag

popping and kissing these tags
spending like all of these racks
give it in cash
cause he got it like that

watchu know about hustling?
all these stares at the function
down in your area
this icey wrist, them frozen cuff
links know we cold and
he that gucci to my rolex blitz

we stay dripping
and pour dusse
we get litty
and get paid
and i’m too bad
and i'm so spoiled
baby want a check

my ass stay fat
as my pockets full of cash
baddies don’t get repercussions
for their actions
know a stack always in the question ah


keep those hands on me
know that i ain't cheap
spending your time on me
i'm the most expensive kind

it’s the smoke that they know im wit (wit)
when i hit that switch
(switch go ooooah)
never know when it’s all gon click
when its all gon click

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 and pride from my life, starting with my own. Forgiving those who've done me wrong and 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 5 months to create, and it's centered around self-discovery. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Don't Know

This time of year always feels tough for me. Even when good things are happening, do you ever get that weird feeling that something is wrong? Nobody talks about how you can have all these confusing thoughts in your head and want to open up about them, but no matter what, you just can’t find the right words to express them. The frustration of feeling misunderstood, not just by others, but by yourself. Feeling like you need a break from people needing you because you need you... All of the feels, not enough space.

This year I’ve learned that sometimes when things don’t happen the way we want them to, it’s just life’s way of redirecting us towards something even more aligned. I’m grateful for all of life’s lessons and experiences that have helped me trust and love myself more, even in June.  Sending love to everyone feeling things they can’t put into words and love to the friends and family who are patient with them. We are in this together.
