Oh thank you very much for tagging me, dearest friend 🥰!
I listened to both of your songs, imagining you dancing (Baladi in C.) - would really love to see you dance! - and wondered what story you're going to tell in your Angbang wip (Hellfire) - would you like to tell more about it 👀👀👀❤️?
As for my own fav song(s) at the moment: i’m afraid i have to cheat a lot here, because there’s just too much very different music and too many different songs that i’m generally and currently into. As far as i can see, older music has been under-represented here so far, so i’d like to mention
Jimi Henrix, The Wind cries Mary
making me think of Mairon alone at night: on a dark strand in Numenor, missing Middle-earth, as well as Mairon running Melkor's realm on his own during Melkor's captivity. (I usually don't listen too much to song texts, it's more the feel of the music, but sometimes a few lines stick.)
When i first encountered that song a long time ago, i imagined a scene from a fic of mine set in ancient Persia - so i also think of your Opus Magnus now!
John Hiatt, Is Anybody there
Fly me to the Moon, a live version by Diana Krall at the Marciac Jazz Festival (Track 9) with a great guitar solo (i think of a fluffy angbang here, Mel and Mai flying together through the void).
My current favs also include more upbeat contemporary dance music, as well as other more recent songs, but i'm going to shut up for now. One exception: The Lemonade Song by Pink Martini, pointed out to me by @moringottocake.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your current preferences!
I'd like to tag @dreamyshiftyaching, @a-litt1e-emo, @cilil, @crackinthecup, @oakenting and @fadingfireperson if you feel like sharing...
