RE: An Open Invitation For A Co-Creative Sound Experience Experiment…

xD What kind of impossible question is this? xD xD
(spends the whole day going through all the time capsule playlists to compose the favourites of favourites master playlist)
But that's still some 60+ songs or so. How am I to reduce this to 3? :D
I am also disappointed in the 'with lyrics' restriction, as it automatically discards some of the best songs ever (like Cliff Martinez - We Don't Have to Think Like That Anymore; Two Fingers - Fools Rhythm; Daft Punk - Solar Sailer or Derek Feichter - Tribal Dryads just to name a few)
I could go on a whole tangent about my favourite music and my journey with it. 'With lyrics' part also suddenly made me extremely self-conscious about the messaging that I've been programming my subconscious with for decades and looking back it kind of all makes sense, but it is also a bit of a chicken and egg situation - who knows what came first the patterns and thus the gravitational pull towards that kind of music or vice versa..

So the 'short' answer is gonna be -
1. Let's start off with the earliest favourite song of mine that I can recall - Shakespear's Sister - Stay https://open.spotify.com/track/6Mcoqi1iK28djC2EClVwDj?si=67c0dc968d8b4fff (Phantom of the Opera was a reeealy close second, so it appears the 6-ish-year-old me had a definite flair for the dramatic xD)

2. This one for whatever reason is not on Spotify, but it's an absolute masterpiece in my opinion. Blue Foundation - Sweep

I'd even go as far as to say that this 11-minute-long piece is at least a level beyond just music.. it's a whole experience.

3. Annie Lennox has been my emotional comfort music since preteen years, and even though I have a whole separate playlist with her music in the specific order that my brain needs them to be, I kid you not - Waiting In Vain - was my hands down favourite, with Cold coming up a close second. And that was me not understanding the lyrics back then.. xD Chicken. Egg. Go figure.

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you actually but had an absolute blast today sorting through my music and compiling the playlist. If you find it helpful, feel free to check out the full thing, just be forewarned that as a playlist it makes absolutely zero sense unless you've lived as a Josie.. xD You mentioned musical ADHD once.. well.. :D I have put together things that should NEVER be in one playlist.. :D

Welp, at leats I had fun!
