My initial musical crush
On a crisp seasonal day, I stayed home ill at age six. My mother wondered, "Is it true you don't know the Beatles?" She started Help! the motion picture, following that I played it repeatedly through her music player throughout the day.
The song I do at karaoke
Anything David Bowie are enjoyable, including Fame and Queen Bitch. Nobody replicates Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. I recently tried Save Me from Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, though I loved it.
The first CD I bought
Kids my age liked Paradise by the band Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto at the bookstore. It was during my first LA visit. I thought to purchase records. I acquired those two albums on the same day.
The track whose lyrics I memorized
My sibling had Incredibad by the humorous ensemble on CD. He played it constantly in the car. Being young and hearing something you're not supposed to felt exciting.
The best song to play at a party
Best of My Love by the Emotions because it sounds happy. Its tempo is flawless. It's accessible music, cool and challenging, thus appealing to all.
The song I can no longer listen to
As I explored rock music, I adored Guns N' Roses. When I first listened to that famous track, I got hooked, yet currently I avoid it.
The perfect number to reinterpret
Currently, our group play the Only Ones classic. I love that song.
The song that changed my life
I appear in the music video for the Pup song. I played the younger version of the frontman. This marked my video debut. It revealed heavier sounds, guiding me to indie realms.
The tear-jerking melody
That Alvvays number.
The memorial service music
There's a running gag about this topic. I might not actually select it, yet Grizzly Bear's Half Gate.
