What is your one song?


Hey HN, what is the one song for you that you always gravitate towards when you need to calm your mind, ready or psych your self, overcome a feeling or any of the other multitudes of reasons humans listen to music?

BroHymn by Pennywise. I'm an old 90s punk. Good drinking song...good song to bring you out of a slump.

It changes often but for a long time it was Nils Frahm - My Friend the Forest

More recently it's Love No More

To start, I have had a fairly regular tradition over a couple of years to listen to 'Stellardrone - Breath in the light' each morning with my coffee as a way of focusing my mind.

Jim 'Kimo' West - Coconut Hat

I listen to the album to fall asleep - super relaxing.

Fun note: Jim West is Weird Al's guitarist, but is an accomplished slack-key player as well!

Foo Fighters - Everlong. Such a great song.

👤 konha
Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark

Don‘t know why, but it‘s an immediate boost to my mood every single time.

Beatles - 'getting better' or 'long tall Sally'

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.

That entire album is outrageously good.
