For me music was always something special and I believe that my dad had a big impact since he was playing music loud on weekends on his big stereo. The songs were always harmonic and we would listen over and over to the same tape. Still today I can listen to one song a hundred times.
A great song for me is a song I can not decompose in my head into all the details and levels and I have to listen very carefully. I also never listen to the lyrics first, but once I get there the song gets even better when the lyrics are great.
The favorites below are choose because they reached a higher quality, a new effect, a new approach to structure or a new combination of sounds and notes. And that is what inspires me.
