I got: sunset, enormity, bullet, traveling, and fresh.

1. Sunset

Sarah Brightman & Jose Carreras - Amigos Para Siempre (Friends for Life)

The first thing that leaped to mind was "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof," but I don't have that song on my playlist, so... <.<;;; It's kind of difficult for me to pick a sunset song, since most songs I associate on my playlist are with twilight rather than early sunset. But whenever I listen to this song, I imagine two friends on a rowboat in the middle of a pink lake. The sky is pink and orange with the sun slowly hovering over the lake before disappearing in the horizon, giving it the warm feeling the song has in general. It always reminded me of a Disney song, specifically "Bella Notte" since they have the same key. :o

2. Enormity

The Cranberries - Zombie

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying

War atrocities, plain and simple. I've got darker songs on my playlist, but this one gets the point across enough.

3. Bullet

Goo Goo Dolls - Bulletproof

WHOO 90S NOSTALGIA. This was the first thing that jumped to mind when it came to bullets (I'm gonna bulletproof your soul/Would you like to lose control?). <.<;;; But if you want to be more literal...

+

Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

Speaks for itself~ ♥

4. Traveling

Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

And I ride alongside
And I rode alongside you then
And I rode alongside
'till you lost me there in the open road

This song is about a journey in more ways than one. Not only are you going around the country, and even when you leave certain aspects behind after the trip is over, you've changed and developed into another person from the whole experience. Some for good, some for bad. Either way, you've moved on, though you also look back on the memories.

5. Fresh

Little Shop of Horrors - Somewhere That's Green (Linked, since the owner disabled embedding)

I was kind of struggling what to pick for a while when I remembered this song. :o Green? Check. Clean? Check. Pine Sol-scented air? Checkeroonie. :)
