Day 6 to Day 10 – Song Challenge
Welcome to the next part of the Song Challenge! Take up this challenge to uncover another part of your own choices in music that you may not have noticed yet. Keep listening and keep rolling the dice to find an unexpected revelation.
Day 6 – A Song that you hide from others
This might be a bit enticing to reveal to others. You can take it as making yourself known to others, not just the good but also that part which you feel might not be easily accepted by others.
Break free from this notion that you need to hide what you like. Someone created it and took the responsibility of making it public and be ready to accept the feedback. You too should break free and reveal that song which you think might invite judgemental looks.
Think about it. Do you really want those people in your life who cannot accept the choices you keep in your life and that you have to keep it trapped inside and never let others know that you like a particular song that goes totally against the opinions that others have about you?
Maybe they do not know you yet. Find people who will accept and respect your choices rather than judge you for having those choices.
We often listen to certain songs that we keep to ourselves and never share but maybe someone else too shares the same taste in music and you might end up creating a stronger bond with that person.
I remember a song that auto-played on speaker and I never wanted to share it but it turned out to be fun and friends around me tuned it to that track.
Song for Today’s Challenge
- Tera Zikr Hai
I am sure you too will have that one or more songs that you hide from others. Feel free to share it and live life without the obligation of getting judged all the time.
Day 7 – A Song from the 90s
There are so many songs from the 90s which we listen to today.
It’s like an enticing era that has passed and still lingering on our mind with the thoughts about how those songs differ from today and we still go back to listening to those songs with the feeling of “past songs that was part of our growing”.
It’s part of the transformation we have in music and the 90s have a good share of it indeed. The cassettes and the walkman we used to use for listening to the songs will always be an experience worth remembering.
Let’s listen to your favorite song from the 90s and explore the past with glory and nostalgia. We may not like all of it but there will be songs that you still hold dear and listen to when you want a break from the trending songs that we have today.
Songs for Today’s Challenge
- Pehle Nasha
- My Heart will Go on
Day 7 was quite a ride to the past. Let us look forward to the Day 8 of the Song Challenge.
Day 8 – A Song that motivates you
Why do you need motivation? The simple answer would be to complete a task that will help us to improve ourselves or create a new habit like exercising.
We need the motivation to exercise. You will always find yourself exercising better with music. It pumps up your motivation meter to a level that makes you happy doing that particular task. Imagine doing it without music and you will feel the difference.
You listen to a song and feel like getting up and taking an action. It can be a small or major action that brings about changes in your life. It reminds you to accept your life including the flaws.
Motivation gets you going in life and do not let that go down. In case it does, music can help you gain it. Choose the kind of music you listen to so that it helps you to be motivated throughout your life journey. Do not let music become a distraction, rather make it fuel and drive the car to the destination you always wanted to go to.
Songs for Today’s Challenge
- Believer
- Lakshya
- Ek Zindagi
I am sure you will have your list of songs that you want to listen to when going on a trip. Feel free to share with everyone and let others add the song to their trip songs list.
Day 9 – A Song that irritates you
Stuck in traffic or waiting in the lobby of the reception, you always come across that song that irritates you and does not go down well with your current mood. You might be very cheerful that day and suddenly come across a song that is too sad, you feel like reaching out to that person and tell him to stop playing that song immediately.
The song may not be bad, but it’s all about the timing and your taste. Songs affect us in unknown ways and we want to ignore them but somehow that song is still playing in our minds that irritates us the most.
There is always an invisible playlist created inside our heads that says “Irritates you, stay away” songs list.
We too sometimes annoy other people by playing songs that they do not like and find peace in them. I remember during my hostel days in college, my roommate never liked ghazals and we used to irritate her by playing those songs.
What is that one song that irritates you? Share it with us.
There are remakes of songs that do not always come out as good or better than the original. Sometimes I find those songs too annoying. In fact, there have been instances where a remake of old songs has left our minds entangled.

- Masakali 2.0
Day 9 moved our focus from good to irritation. Now let us move forward and check out Day 10 to find out that one song that speaks about us.
Day 10 – A Song that speaks about you
Did a song ever get stuck in your mind like a tune that just speaks about you? “That is just me!” – did you ever say this to yourself and kept listening to that song on loop and felt every rhythm of it in tune with your thoughts.
If you have still never noticed or discovered that song that speaks about you, now is the time to pay attention to songs that you listen to and share them with others through this challenge.
I have listed out mine that speaks about how I feel about life. The song can be anything that speaks about how you take life’s challenges or how is your current life going and how you live your life. It can be a song that speaks about you entirely or some aspects of the song that resonates with you more than the entire song. What’s your song?

With Day 10, we come closer to the songs that we always listened to but never really observed how and why are we so in-tuned with those songs. With the song challenge, you will surely find a piece of your heart and your soul being played in one of the many songs that you keep listening to every day.
