(Rare) Spotify and chill ?

Play a song on repeat ?

That's always such a difficult question to answer because there are so many to choose from

I have so many favourite songs and they change over time. Sometimes they stay with me for a while, others I get bored of very quickly.

If I go back to my first favourite song, that is, not one that I inherited from my parents, I think back to my first extended trip abroad to the United States in the first year of my university degree.

I was backpacking from New York Down to Virginia Beach, then followed by a road trip with newly-found mates down to the Florida Keys and hitchhiking all the way back up to New York. I played this song on repeat so many times that my friends got truly bored of me requesting it.

I found it so beautiful I couldn't stop listening. Here is that track:

Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves the Sunshine (Kenny Dope mix)

My next favourite song was an introduction to a genre I've never heard before. The combination of drum and bass grooves mixed with an almost gospel soul. He is the track:

4Hero - Golden age of life - from the fantastic two pages album:

As I've got older perhaps my taste and favourite songs I've also have also become a little bit more mellow, just like me :-)

Here's one of my recent faves:
