Chaney’s playlist
Keidra Chaney
When I feel bad, I want to dance or bang my head. I am soothed by metal, particularly complicated and dissonant mathcore, so while this probably sounds like noise to some people, this is calming for me.

3. "Miracle" by Kimbra
4. "Married To The Music" by SHINee
5. "Spaim/Japam" by Botch
