So, I made a list of songs--I guess you could say they're my favorite songs. I don't know. But what I do know is that these are the songs that I find it physically difficult to skip. Like, if they come on, and I wanted to find a different song, I might reach for the button to skip past these songs--but I just can't push it. Something in me HAS to listen to them all the way through. Like, I'll regret it if I skip past it. Like, my soul needs that song on some level.  And for the record, yeah, I realize that this probably dates me--I think there's 4 songs from the last decade?  Yeesh.  I'm old.
