New music from Snow Patrol.

Yeah, don't give in to loneliness
When everything is such a mess
Just hold me in your arms
Yeah, I don't want the world from you
I'm just wanting something true
Far from these alarms

Share a song that makes time feel like it's standing still.

The repetitions in the music and lyrics give me that feeling like time isn't passing.

This cover of "The Middle" plays in the new Supergirl movie. No spoilers, but it's playing during an intense action scene.

Same idea as what they did with “5 Years Time" by Noah and the Whale in last year's Superman movie.

This cover of "Kiss Me" came up on my Qobuz radio today. Automatic save, download, and add to playlist. 😍

What is a song that makes you think of your first job?

For two summers, I worked at an amusement park. The soundtrack in the water park area was a handful of songs on repeat, including "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys.

Music played from when the park opened until it closed. It's all fine when people are around during the day, but there was something eerie in the morning and at night when Beach Boys blasted to an empty water park.

A song from your most listened to artist of the last 20 years.

A long time ago (2008), there was a music discovery site called thesixtyone. Most of the music was from independent artists. You could stream and/or purchase tracks. Every day, you got an allotted number of hearts you could give to songs, which would bump them up the charts so more people would see them.

That's where I came across "Empire" by Jukebox the Ghost, and I loved the song right away.

Thesixtyone got revamped in 2010 and later went offline, but I haven't stopped listening to Jukebox the Ghost.

My first post on Crucial Tracks!

I've been playing "Holding Out" on repeat this week. A mood.
