The chaos parts seem to counter the chaos in my mind and bring clarity and energy, and I like the dusty feel of the song. At 20 minutes long, it sort of just blends in an endless loop... I've probably been listening to it for two hours already

"The Lover in Me" by Sheena Easton

"Chopin: Nocturne No.1 in B flat minor, Op.9 No.1" by Vladimir Ashkenazy
(I believe that's what it is. Whoever posted the video was rather lazy with the title )

Right now it's one of these three, and it depends on which song plays first in my car or on the playlist at home. Which ever one gets played first, gets looped over and over and over... well you get it.

Arcade Fire - Afterlife
Arcade Fire - It's Never Over
Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love

"Krakatau" by Yngwie J. Malmsteen

Multiple eargasms...

Three Queens by Heather Dale (click)

It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The first couple of times I heard it, it made me cry. Now I like to listen to it when I'm drawing, especially if the mood I want to convey is, well, moody.

Lol, repeat... in the mind it repeats

I listened to "Once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads on repeat for 2 years. Not good times for those sharing a car with me.

At the moment "Happy hour" by the Housemartins is doing it for me. I am in the process of making a list of the songs I get loop-lust with and will work out what the pattern is with my more musically aware boyfriend.

Only you by Flying Pickets

I know he's recently been morphing into the king of tackiness, but the last song I've looped on my discman was 'Angel On Each Arm' by Robin Thicke. I just think it sounds really energizing.

Good Stuff!! I love Andrés Segovia.

I do enjoy his art very much . I was introduced to his name from my mother's boyfriend... so I didn't think much into checking Segovia's music out right away based on his generally horrific taste in music. I started studying music under many different types to keep my mind open to different possibilities in my own technique and sound a couple years ago, and later thought, "Maybe I'll check into that "And...er Segovia" classical guitarist guy since I like Yngwie Malmsteens Neo-classical metal style . Glad I did

My only disappointment in his work is that I feel like I picked up the wrong instrument for the last 13 years and have really been missing out listening to almost nothing but metal since an early age . I have an electric rig that was designed specifically around the sound of 80's metal that I invested a lot into setting up (I was into solely metal for many of the years of my life until all too recently). So listening to the sheer beauty of his work coming straight through nylon and wood was like a sledge to the face more than a slap >_>

I've honestly not gotten much further than refining what I learned when I posted that I had started learning the song. I'm working on disciplining the balance of grace and strength that must have been used when he played it, and also, having a bit of fun working on being able to play it with my eyes closed in a role playing type manner, since I found out that Segovia's vision was rather impaired when he wrote "Estudio sin Luz". I can play the introduction with my eyes closed, though I'm just trying to get it up to proper speed before adding on the next leg

I feel a bit like an arrogant dolt to have thought I'd have this song in my hands in just a few weeks... but his playing was so unlike modern guitarists, so I didn't expect as much a challenge I suppose. I am glad to be learning the song though, it has been teaching my hands so many things modern guitar pieces haven't.

My favorites off the top of my head of his would probably be "Mussorgsky: The Old Castle", "Albéniz: Leyenda" , and "Estudio sin luz", but I like many others, the song names just aren't usually all that... Catchy

The Boardwalk Empire theme.
