Ipod Playlist

1) "Not Going Back" by Childish Gambino  
     "It seems like they all want me to fail
But I'm not goin' back
Not goin' back, baby"
     -This song would encourage Siddhartha on his path to reach enlightenment because this song is about going through struggles in life and keeping your head up and to keep looking forward. Also, it talks about how other people, like his dad, discouraged him from doing things.

2) "Under The Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Pepper
     "Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away"
      -Siddhartha would love enjoying listening to this song because this song is about losing yourself mentally and physically to drugs. Siddhartha experienced similar things when he spent his time with the Samanas.

3) "Promiscuous" Nelly Furtado ft. Timbaland
     "Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need"
     - Siddhartha's time with Kamala, from when he first meets her to when he leaves, is fully embodied in this song. Kamala wants to be with Siddhartha from the first time she met her and she keeps leading on Siddhartha. There's a lot of sexual frustration in the song and in the exchange between Siddhartha and Kamala.
4) "Warped" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
     "So much love
So rare to dare
Afraid of
Ever being there
Take me home
I need repair
Take me please
To anywhere"
     -After Siddhartha left Kamala, he suffered from a great deal of depression. This song embodies those feelings of depression that Siddhartha was feeling at that time. Even though, this would bring back memories, he would like to listen to this song to reflect on his life and learn from it.

5) "You've Got A Friend In Me" by Randy Newman
     "You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me
Yeah you've got a friend in me"
     -Siddhartha would like to reflect on this song, particularly this verse, and remember his old pal Govinda. These lyrics talk about someone who would go through great lengths to help his best friend, which is what Govinda did for Siddhartha in the beginning. I think he would also like this song because it would help keep Govinda in his memories since Govinda lives far away from Siddhartha.
