Which song makes you emotional? Why?

Post one of your favorite ballads.

a cop-out because I have no idea what a real ballad should be

Post one of your favorite sad songs.

A song that you like in multiple versions

For a prompt like this, classical music is the easiest way for me! I know it's overrated, but damn it, I love this waltz

(Also, in this version, I really like the shimmer of the high-pitched violin right before they dance!)

Which lyric always gives you goosebumps?

A song by a band that you haven't yet posted anything by

A song that represents where you live

I remember my little 3 or 4 year old sister of my first host family (during training) singing the chorus of this song at home 😂 (Бишкегим Бишкегим борборум сен - my Bishkek, my Bishkek, you are my center)

A song by someone you've met, or would like to meet

would like to meet

A song that's largely acoustic

A little weird that I discovered this composer (Agustin Barrios Mangore) because of the game Ib, but I don't regret it!

A song by a band whose merchandise you've bought - what was the merchandise

I bought a poster! It was at the same concert I referenced earlier this year.

I don't like to repeat the same group or singer on my Crucial Tracks, but there's only one other group I can think of whose merchandise I have bought, and Epik High truly is one of my favorite groups that holds a special place in my heart!

(no reason in particular for this song. It's a good one, but not necessarily my favorite. It was just the first one that came into my head when I thought about Epik High for this prompt. Maybe it's that the song feels nostalgic..)
