30 songs challenge #1

idea and questions taken from here! but instead of 30 days of songs, I'm just doing 30 songs whenever. if I can do it one a day, great! but let's not pretend I'll be that disciplined about it. I'll also combine both lists (included down below) and pick and choose which questions to answer. the first list is at least a decade old so let's just adapt as we go!!

#1 - your favorite song

I have several favorite songs, there's no way to choose only one - I could list about a dozen off the top of my head here. but since I like answering memes from time to time, I've taken to answering this question with janelle monáe's "sincerely, jane" for simplicity's sake.

I've been thinking about it, trying to understand why I use that song as the Representative Song out of my favorites... and I think it's because it combines a few things I absolutely adore in music: (1) bassy melody + (2) instruments + (3) orchestra-like sound + (4) powerful singing (there must be a technical term for it but best I can describe it as is "the opposite of whisper-singing"? that's my favorite kind of singing) + (5) lyrics that read like a story/narrative.
( apparently I can't keep this short? )
