Life is Strange: Max's Mixtape | Side A 🎵 Folk & Indie Pop Mix | Music & Ambiance🌞📼
Video Overview & Insights
Since Chloe has one, here's Max's! This is a playlist of tracks I think she'd listen to & would fit in the LiS universe. There are some of the classics in there as well. I might make a side B too 😊 I really hope you guys like it!
Wish I could download this..

Hi everyone. Right now I'm lying on an abandoned structure in my hometown, listening to this playlist. Thank you to the creator for putting it together. I'm using a translator, so some parts may sound strange, but I still wanted to share something.
I struggle with perfectionist paralysis and a lot of fears. I'm a creative person and I write music, but lately I've been having many problems with it, problems that I'm afraid to talk about even with my family or the people closest to me.
Recently, I realized that I finally understand the main problem that has probably been with me through almost my entire musical journey. There is still this invisible wall in front of me, but now I can see what it is made of: fear, an unconscious inner critic, and perfectionism. For years I kept asking myself the same questions. Why do I abandon demos halfway through and immediately start something new? Why do I quit after writing a small section that I actually like and that has potential? Why can't I develop my ideas further? Am I afraid of arranging music? Is it burnout? A creative crisis?
I could keep asking questions forever, but the answer is often much simpler: I'm avoiding my fears. The fear of doing something badly. The fear of being misunderstood or laughed at. The fear of ruining a perfect idea. The fear that I will never be able to write anything good again.
Those fears create even more fears: fear of sharing my work with other people, fear of trying something new, fear of listening to new music, fear of posting things online, fear of talking about my interests, and many others. One small fear can grow into dozens of others and slowly affect everyday life. I understand that being afraid is normal, but I think it will take me much more time to fully accept that.
I may be wrong about many things, and maybe in a few years I will read this and think that I was talking nonsense. But even writing this is difficult for me. I'm a very closed and reserved person. It's hard for me to be myself outside of home. Sometimes I realize that many of my interests are different from those of the people around me. Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. I think it's actually cool to be different. It's cool to love animated shows, to be passionate about them, to listen to different music, and to have your own interests. That's just part of who you are.
The real problem begins when you realize that not everyone will understand or appreciate the things you love, and you try to accept that. After a negative experience, you become even more closed off. You hide your feelings and your true emotions. You start acting differently. You stay silent when something hurts you. You pretend to be just like everyone else. You become afraid to express yourself, afraid to take initiative, afraid to talk about your problems.
Then another fear appears. You start feeling like life is passing you by and that nobody understands you. From that moment on, you begin living by a single rule: if you make a mistake, you become nobody.

Thanks for this playlists, I absolutely love the selection. Right now I'm playing the games and I been feeling so nostalgic about the 2010's era and my teenage years. I wasn't able to play until now so it feels like reliving a lot of things rn.

@FMM9009I love this playlist so much, and all the playlists you make!
would you mind if I possibly made a YouTube Music playlist using the same songs? like a playlist with each individual song instead of in a video format.
the flow of this playlist is great so I'd love to have that playlist and hopefully have YouTube Music recommend more similar songs to me. I'd be happy to credit you in the playlist description
how do you catch a character's vibe so perfectly?? it genuinely feels like something Max would 100% listen to. i feel so immersed, like i am in the game's world right now, such a unique experience
