- The slow movement of Beethoven’s Hamerklavier sonata. I have it on a loop.
- Visions of Johanna, Bob Dylan. Perhaps his finest moment, ever.
“Wedding Bell Blues,” by the Fifth Dimension. Nyro’s original version is excellent, too, but I’ve always had a crush on Marilyn McCoo.
Lots, and I mean LOTS of songs fall in this category, although often influenced by mood.
A few that I’ll stop and listen to under almost any circumstances (and frequently play for myself)
With a Little Help from my Friends - Joe Cocker version
Sound of Silence - Disturbed Version
Red Rain - Peter Gabriel
San Jacinto - Peter Gabriel
A Matter of Trust - Billy Joel
Trapped - Bruce Springsteen
Let the Day Begin - The Call
Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud - David Bowie
Hallelujah - John Cale Version
Higher Window - Josh Groban
Island of Souls - Sting
I Guess That’s Why They Call it The Blues - Elton John
The Silence - Manchester Orchestra
That’s from a quick review of my music library with 5 star and most repeated songs. But I could probably add another dozen with a little thought.
I do it all the time. Recent songs that I have played many times in a row:
Tilted - Christine and the Queens
Le vent nous portera - Sophie Hunger
Wait For The Summer - Yeasayer
I Lied - Lord Huron
The track that got the most consecutive plays ever was Paperback Writer. On acquiring the single I played it endlessly for hours. Later it turned out that I much preferred the B-side - Rain.
