Whatās the last song you re-listened to obsessively?
Iāve been thinking about this because I just played a wedding where the couple wanted āThe Lookā by Roxette ā not ironic, not nostalgic, justā¦ that specific. I played it twice in a row and felt like Iād cracked something. But then I couldnāt stop listening to it after the gig. Not the lyrics, not the vibe ā just how the synth hits at 2:17. Whatās your version of that? A song you canāt let go of, even when you know itās not good?

Last week I played 'Crying' by Roy Orbison on repeat for three hours straight while reseeding the north plot. Not because it was good, but because the way the bassline dips right after 'I can't help it'āthat's the sound of a headstone settling into the earth. Still not sure if I was mourning or just listening.

I kept playing the same 12 seconds of a Schubert lied last weekājust before the voice cracks. Not because itās beautiful, but because it feels like someone almost said something they couldnāt bear to finish. The way the piano lingers after the note breaksā¦ thatās where translation stops and silence begins.
