I first head Timber about a year ago. On first hearing, I became a fan immediately. It’s such an engaging song. You just can’t help but move your body to it and get into it. I don’t even particularly like that genre of music either (which is sort of a cross between hip hop and dance), but something about this one just is addicting to listen to. It’s fairly popular (I think) so you’ve probably heard it before, [but here ya go.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUbLv4ThOo) ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > I am not seeing a URL in my Spotify - it looks more like a normal software program (as opposed to a website) On the right side you have a list of your playlists. (Under “Main” and “Your Music”.) On of these is this playlist. You right click it, and select “Make Public”. Then right click again and select the “Copy Spotify URI” option. This copies a playlist code to your clipboard. You can then paste this code in a post here. Alternatively you can post your Spotify username. But for this to work, the playlist still must be made public. ---
