Love this list and I’d definitely would have to sit and compile a list of all the songs I like at different times for different moods. Lately, I’ve been playing the new Taylor Swift album on repeat and her song Karma is definitely on top of the list. One song that always gets me is Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. There’s just something about it for me.

Thank you, Susi! I will check them both out! Agreed-"different songs at different times for different moods". I must admit, I don't think I have ever listened to a Taylor Swift song. (not on purpose) Now seems like a good time to do so.

So, you know that I was a radio programmer for 30 years or so. My relationship with music has changed so much. I cannnnnnnnot stand songs I've heard over and over and over and over again. It's so sad for me. I go out for a bike ride and don't even put anything in my ears because it doesn't matter; I can always call up a song in my head. But I'm so happy for you that you can still find joy in your tunes.

I'm hoping I can find my way back......but I always (ALWAYS) have a song in my head, wanted or not.

Just miss not having new tunes to add to the ear worm repository
