Aletse Perez ‘20

“Heathens, Sucker for Pain, and Ride. My favorite song would have to be “Heathens”, “Heathens” has a good beat to it. “Ride” because its catchy and the lyrics. “Sucker for pain” because of suicide squad.”

Amanda Elshire ‘20

“Heathens, Ride, Stressed out.” “Heathens” because Suicide Squad is pretty good, “Ride” is pretty catchy also,” Stressed out” because it talks about how you’re sad but has a good tune to it”.

“Handclap, Heathens, The Sound of Silence”. “I like “Handclap” because I like the sound. I like “Heathens” because of the rhythm. I like “The Sound of Silence” because of how it sounds but the lyrics are serious.”
