“These Days” is a strong choice. Nico flipping hated that flute.
There are too many damn songs. This one is up there, though:
I’ve been thinking about this on and off since you posted it. There’s the song I’ve loved as long as i can remember (Sitting on the dock of the Bay), the song that’s my most played on iTunes (Hive, by Earl Sweatshirt), the song that brings inexplicable joy whenever i hear it (North American Scum, by LCD Soundsystem). the song that destroys me whenever i hear it (I Flirted With You All My Life, by Vic Chesnutt) But this is the song i kept coming back to. I didn’t want to be the first to post a Gandalfs song, but there it is.
I had a rather long think and I had go back to what has, for many years, been my favourite song. Even if I don’t listen to music like this too much these days I still consider this the perfect piece of music. Everything about it rules - the song, the playing, the recording. It’s genius is undeniable in my book.
