the song(s) you like most

Baby Love by Petite Meller
I Hate You But I Love You by Russian Red

All in how much you give, Stephanie Mills. Wonderful song, and feels like a 90's song. Maybe the best definition of soul searching, not in terms of lyrics, but just sense of tone and sound.

Purpose by Justin Biber

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Nothing rocks like My Brother by Terry Scott.

Get Closer by Seals and Croft.

I enjoy qualities in music which are independent of lyrics; I respond primarily to melody, harmony, and rhythm and really prefer instrumental music. Many times the lyrics in pop music aren't even comprehensible and we just hear sounds which we assume are syllables but can't really distinguish words. Other times I find the lyrics amateurish, ungrammatical, or otherwise objectionable. As Voltaire said, "Anything too stupid to be said is sung". So I tend to appreciate "songs" as tunes. Many of my favorite tunes are from brief passages in longer symphonic or chamber works, like the counterpoint in the fourth movement of Mozart's Symphony #41. Another source of memorable tunes that I find running through my head are licks from soloists playing jazz or blues. It's hard to say which song or tune I like the most – it depends on how I'm feeling at the time.

Just realized that this thread is five years old.
