CONNECTIONS ~ MUSIC PLAYLIST M U S I C PLAYLIST Connections CURATED BY ALEX WATTS “OH NO, NOT MY BABY” She & Him A twist on a love song, “Oh No, Not My Baby” focuses on multiple aspects of a relationship. From doubt to commitment, it’s all covered. “YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND” Carole King There aren’t enough songs out there about the power of friendship, but as always, Queen Carole King saves the day with this sweet, heartfelt song. “TRUE LOVE WAYS” Buddy Holly It feels as if Holly is singing directly to you in this song, and you’ll want to cry—especially when you hear the saxophone. (It will be a happy and a sad cry, too. Listen to the song, and then you’ll understand.) “L.O.V.E.” Joss Stone This soulful twist on a classic song will make you want to smile, dance, and appreciate the ones you love. “JACKSON” Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash The country music power couple’s ode to a crumbling marriage is catchy. But don’t let the clever lyrics and bickering in the song fool you—the couple was together for more than thirty years before Carter’s death in 2003.
