Day 15: Song that makes you cry
This random song helped me find peace following the loss of a loved one. I almost dismissed it on first listen. After the instrumentation began at the 0:53 mark, months of pent-up emotion finally let go.

Day 11: A song that sounds unlike anything else
Since I've posted 1982's "Theme from Harry's Game" previously (the signature song which launched Clannad's breakthrough sound), choosing instead 1985's ethereal "Caisleán Óir".

Day 10: A perfect song for dancing 💃
While my heart tells me to choose a ballad, "Mickey" plays on my local morning radio 80s station almost daily. It never fails to get my feet moving.

Day 9: A song that feels underrated
Apparently, this song didn't chart anywhere (I even checked under my sink). Criminally underappreciated 80s gem.

Day 8: Song that made you explore an era of music
I'd been searching for 80s-inspired music, w/ a twist (new, but familiar). I chanced on this song in 2018. A gateway to modern synth pop, it helped me find some of my now favorite bands.

Day 7: A song with a unique voice
A random YT comment described Finn as having "the voice of an angel". While I do not share this opinion, I think he writes fun, lo-fi indie songs. 👇Fun, lo-fi video!
Finn Wolfhard: "Choose the Latter"

Day 5: A song you wish was longer
From my favorite X-Files cold open!👽👾
I love the cinematography, Mulder's reciting Robert Browning, & Mark Snow's composition. The score would lose gravitas w/o Duchovny's voiceover & vice versa.

It's a pop song, but the theme of failed romance is delivered with attitude, so let's pretend it counts.

Day 3: A song outside your usual taste
I was into Amarcord's Christmas choral music when I found this rendition of a classic Italian love song. Some YT replies suggest the singer's accent needs work.🤷♀️
Amarcord: "Tarantella del Gargano"

Day 30: A song with a memorable bridge
What's revealing about John's isolated vocal here is the bridge itself.🎶"Though tonight she's made me sad"🎶. In the full mix, you may not notice the nuance in his vocal shift to harmonize w/ Paul.

Don't be fooled by the cute kids in the video. The lyrics aren't necessarily sad, but address themes of emotional longing, loneliness, & confusion (i.e., sad).
