What’s a song that grew on you over time?

What’s your favorite deep cut from an album?

It's hard to beat the influence of the music that you listened to in high school and in your 20s. I thought this group was going to be the NEXT BIG THING.

This one goes out to all the love birds out there!

Seriously.

I was briefly thinking about using something from Rage Against the Machine, but this is the song that called to me.

Share a song you feel was ahead of its time.

This song predates all the autotune that you hear nowadays. But honestly, I didn't know what was being said at the time until someone told me what the title of the song was.

What’s the last song you discovered and loved instantly?

I've already mentioned a couple during other prompts, but this one needs a moment to shine. This song was originally on the groups demo track and was strong enough that they got a record deal. I know they have at least two albums but I only remember this song.

There's a really good remake of it in the first Trolls movie that I prefer a little more because they add other songs in the mix.

What’s a lyric that resonates deeply with you and why?

The song starts off incredibly strong and I find myself singing it every once in a while.

Part of me knows I should be grateful that it's not worse. It's just hard to have so many obstacles in life.

A song from a genre you didn’t think you’d like—what changed?

How do you discover new music, and what’s the latest gem you’ve found?

I usually find music from tv and movies. Sometimes, I even find it on the radio. The best recommendations are from family and I found this one to be very soothing.

What is a song that feels like home to you?

I think of this song when I'm going to my parents. They would have a lot of music playing and this was one of them that I remember. Although it wasn't in regular rotation, it was notable in the way that there was a sort of call and response and the way that Gladys' voice just commanded attention.
