Top 3 Songs

Starting at number three: Time-Pink Floyd

I never really knew of Pink Floyd until I was fourteen. Two years ago, I bought Dark Side at a music store in Santa Cruz. I never discovered them because most of my taste came from my parents, and they were never into Pink Floyd. Whenever I asked, they told me it was too psychedelic to enjoy. This holds true in some of their albums, but I believe that The Dark Side of the Moon is sheer brilliance. I bought it because I heard about what a great album it was, and I was getting tired of listening to the same stuff. I am always looking to find new bands. When first listening to it, the first thing that hit me were the bizarre noises of cash registers, helicopters, grand-father clocks, and crazy men laughing in the most sinister ways imaginable. But I soon began to enjoy its surreality, and realized its trippiness enough to the point where it cannot be enjoyed. In fact, when listening to this album, I typically lose myself in a deep thought. I ask myself several questions when listening to this song. How much time is left? How much time have I wasted? Will I be content when time is up? These questions evoke my greatest fears and lead me to the unseen core of Isaiah Tait. 

Number two: This Must be the Place-Talking Heads

I must've been listening to Talking Heads since I was four, and they are still an ultimate favorite of mine. I remember dancing to it in my underwear in our kitchen and making my parents laugh. I really just listened to it because I listened to what my parents listened to, and I also enjoyed its lively and original beat, I still do. But I guess I still listen to it to remind me of those days I spent without having to care about a thing and free from responsibilities. I will always love this song. I can see myself forty years from now, listening to this song and reminiscing on my childhood. 

My number one song, yes number one: The Song is Over-The Who

There's not a whole lot of reason as to why this song, other than it's true beauty. It's another song I've been listening to for quite a long time, encouraged by my father. One day, I want to learn how to play it on the piano. Maybe it's just encouraging. I can't really explain my love for this song. Just give it a listen and maybe you'll see why.
