85 A song that reminds you of spring

While this is technically a heartbreak song, every time I hear it I think of spring. Theoretically I should like more the spanish version, but this is the original…=)

Maledetta primavera — Loretta Goggi

Day 79: The opening track to your favorite album

Oh, goodness. I don't have a favorite album. I used to have favorites back w tapes & CDs. I listen to whole albums. But I don't have favorites anymore.

I'll do the opening track to the last full album I listened to - which was Royal Blood's Back to the Water Below. The opening track is Mountains at Midnight.

84 A song you hear in a café/restaurant

There was a café that had classical music as its theme. The was even a few instruments (cymbals, xylophone, and a harp being the big ones) as decoration. There I listened to this, one of the owner's favorites:

Rhapsodie Espagnole — Maurice Ravel

Day 78: A song that tells a story

I already did my picks for this one 😬 😂

I looked at my StorySeed playlist and am going to do a throwback to

Stay by Shakespears Sister

https://youtu.be/YCYaALgW80c?si=UzfkbK-XjL_UOsiL

I'm not sure if I've ever watched the video before (we didn't have cable growing up.) I'm highly entertained this afternoon.

83 A song you'd want to hear at a concert

This is an underrated song. A masterpiece (even if the version in this video isn't the full version). I'd love to hear this live (and in the 80s). From Jim Steinman's mind:

Read 'en and weep — Barry Manilow

Day 77: A song you'd choose for karaoke

I once chose Madness by Muse to sing for karaoke but I didn't follow through and I doubt I'd ever get up on a karaoke stage at this point.

82 A song by your favorite band

Like one of the commenters in the link says, I don't understand why this song isn't more popular. The guitar solo alone is a work of art. Enjoy, and remember that

You don't fool me — Queen

Day 76: A song that makes you want to go on an adventure

I'm going to approach this question sideways because I'm not well today and my initial response was too cranky.

The Heavenly Tyrant playlist from Xiran Jay Zhao makes me want to go on the adventure and read that book.

81 A song you discovered by pure chance

This song is theoretically from an anime I like (Say "I love you"), but I found this by pure chance, on a playlist…=)

Universe — Suenohair

80 A song by an artist no longer alive

And, just because why the hell not, (almost) the same song, but with cats (and those are Freddie's cats). From the anime series "Great Pretender":

The Great Pretender — Freddie Mercury

Day 74: A song that calms you down

My favorite song does that, but I've used it before. Another calming song is

The Wood Song by Indigo Girls

The melody is calming and the words are reassuring.

79 The opening track to your favorite album

I already posted that one, so I'll use my second favorite from that same album, a song which opens with the most important question in the universe: Are you gonna take me home tonight?

Fat Bottomed Girls — Queen

Day 73: A song you heard on the radio

Because I listened to this on my run today, but I for sure heard it first on the radio

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins

This is a sad story. From the dark ages of 1989:

77 A song you'd chose for karaoke

This is one of my favorite songs, and I fear the day I have the opportunity to karaoke this. I'll destroy it. Ladies, gentlemen, and mastodontians, The Divo of Juarez:

Hasta que te conocí — Juan Gabriel

Day 71: A song from your favorite album

Oh, goodness. I don't know if I have a favorite album.

I loved Silversun Pickups' Widows Weeds, so I'm going Don't Know Yet by Silversun Pickups.

76 A song that makes you want to go in an adventure

This song makes me want to take my car and go travel around the world, fighting good guys (I'm team_villains) and causing mayhem. Who said an adventure must be a positive one? >=)
