Songs you’ve played on repeat for multiple listens?

Band on the Run - the beginning is like 3 different songs

1 + 1 by Beyonce. I have to hear it multiple times when I put it on. I think it's the tone and vocal phrasing that gets me. Or maybe that it borrows from Purple Rain.

Petula Clark's cover of "Games People Play"

Tons of songs, then I go in search of different covers.

Lido by Boz Scaggs, it took me awhile to learn the lyrics

Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. So many layers. Never gets old.

Belle and Sebastian's There's Too Much Love.

I think Don McLean nails this...... never really been a fan, but this just gets to me.

I love Joan Baez singing anything by Dylan, but this one's my favorite...It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.

Another dumbass thread by the turnip that just discovered music.

Every few days I find myself watching this a number of time in a row just completely in awe, I think this is one of the most sophisticated pieces of music and staging in years. I wasn’t obsessed with Hamilton, nor do I particularly remember this song when I saw it, but I think I only grazed the meaning of what was going on on the surface, and it’s so complex and layered and watching it repeatedly unravels more and more.

The number of emotional beats it hits, many of them devastating, is the first thing you notice. It’s like memory becomes the knife of never letting go, only stabbing deeper. She sings it effortlessly, but it’s a very complex and technically hard song to sing, and if she misses a beat she fucked, there’s no recovering from it. And her breathing is nothing less than exquisite, she either has lungs of steel or she distilled it down to a complex scientific formula in how she needs to draw in breath and expel it perfectly to get through the whole song. I think this is the equal to a superb aria in the best opera.

And while all of that is going on there is then the staging, where you see everything being repeated, but then she’s pulled back out to experience the deeper emotion or thought going on longer in even individual seconds within that. Of course that’s a visual thing, but the reprise of the earlier song gives you that experience aurally as well. I’m so glad she won the Tony for this role.

Her face, the timing of her mannerisms, her voice...

Never was a Mathis fan, but this clip shows what a presence he must have been in nightclubs in the 50s... one of the great unrequieted gay love songs I'd never heard before... from 1951.

REM’s “Sad Professor”. For biographical reasons.

I have no idea why this song never broke out or was covered.

My Name Is Prince

I was almost a teenager, awkward; loving this song then because it described my isolation. Now I would listen to it as a pretty accurate description of where I am these days.

Shakira - Underneath Your Clothes from the album "Laundry Service" (2000)

I love this fucking song. It never gets boring to me and always takes me back to that time as a kid getting to use a pc for the first time and inserting CDs to listen to music and play games. This album was one of them and I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. Great rock melody, eccentric lyrics that's quite the signature of Shakira and arguably one of her best vocal performances.

R11 Mary!

Summer Rain - Belinda Carlisle

I wish they made this song longer...

This song currently has 3 different hour long loops on YT

& I recall it had a 10 hour video at some point =

Vision Of Nowness - The Go-Go's

This song has had its share of hour long loops over the years =

Elton John, Dua Lipa - Cold Heart one hour extended play on a loop.

"Burn Down The Mission" from the Tumbleweed Connection album But it's the live version from two of his concert albums that I love. Elton used to close his concerts with this song during his early days, and it's fantastic.

I don’t know much about Taylor Swift but her duet with Bon Iver is excellent. Worth repeating, especially for the relatable lyrics.

So many. Started with the girl singers and girl groups on 45s in the 1960s: Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, the Ronettes, the Chiffons, the Shirelles, the Crystals, the Supremes. Plus the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and all those '60s British groups. I remember one Saturday morning in 1964 when my father took me to Great Eastern so I could buy "Baby Love." I ran up to my room and played it over and over, all day long, driving him crazy.

My current favorite to play on repeat is the Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me."

Raspberry Beret Prince because it always makes me feel better for some reason

Love this one and find it hypnotic.

I never cared for the original Fields of Gold, but I've listed to Eva Cassidy's cover over and over again.

What More Can I Say?

Guess Who I Saw Today?

Gimme Shelter. It never gets old.

Sara Hickman...

I had cassette tapes that played propulsive dance music songs in a loop. I listened to them while running. One of my favorites was New Order Perfect Kiss, over and over and over. I was skinny and in fantastic shape as a runner and I felt light as air, with unlimited energy, like I was flying for an hour.

I’m coming here to lower the tenor of the thread: Forever by Chris Brown and Evacuate the Dance Floor by Cascada.

Back in the summer of 79 we played born to be alive so many times we wore out the record.

Metteson

My college housemates never bitched (much), but I'd wake up on sunny Saturday mornings, open the windows, smoke a little weed, and listen to "Biko" by Peter Gabriel, "This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush, or "Woman in Chains" by Tears for Fears, on repeat for at least an hour.

Good times.

I've listened to Bob Dylan's Idiot Wind repeatedly the past week. Not really sure why; I'm not going through a breakup or feeling particularly angry. Great song though

r73-r79, r81-84, what do you call the type of music you post?

R87- Its Rock-a-billy

And the cd's also come with a free skin cre'me.

As Queen Elizabeth's health became a serious concern, I started playing "God Save the Queen" over and over and knowing that she doesn't have long before she is gone.

r88 rockabilly is a little tends to have more swinging cowpunk to it.

r88

No need to explain why.

Hold Me Closer

Abba - The WInner takes it all

r88

R93 reminds me of a song I really have "played on repeat for multiple listens." There used to be a radio station in Pittsburgh that played pop music for adults, and this was one they played every day. The station went off the air long ago, though, probably replaced by reichtard talk radio.

I hate to say it because it's so embarrassing. But I can listen to Demi Lovato's Cool for the Summer over and over again. The song is so over produced and has sounds from so many artist. It starts sounding like bubble gum light Taylor Swift with tones of Lana Del Rey on the "Too". Then you get a Klaxons battle cry that goes straight into a Katy Perry Anthem sound. It's just a wall of over produced, but very familiar sounds and at least five different moods. And it's so easy just to start it all over again. It's a great cardio song, or walking song. I still have zero idea as to what a Demi Lovato song is - she is just like a siphon, a means to get junk music on the stations and earning money.

Velocity Girl - My Forgotten Favorite

The Other 2--Selfish

r294 yours:

I use to listen to Live to Tell over and over it's a favorite of mine in general. Not just because it's Madonna. It reminds me of when I was younger that's why I loved it

Joni - just because she hasn't made an appearance in this fabulous thread. Hejira - the whole album. I've played it a thousand times and could play it all day any day.

"Se un core annodi" (If you can ensnare a heart), sung by an impeccable Philippe Jaroussky in 2010. The song is by a baroque composer called Antonio Caldara. Jaroussky's absolutely flawless timing, his unique little embellishments and the choir that is absolutely on point get me every time. The lyrics (by a very famous librettist) detail a tongue-in-cheek complaint about tyrant love and how he messes with our lives. It's the last song on the Caldara album and has a bonus track feeling to it. It's one of my absolute favourites - by all artists, ever.

Bec Sandridge - In The Fog, In The Flame

Ren With The Mane - What You Do to Me

I love love love this song. The lyrics and slow burn of the music are intoxicating to me.

I love this song and video.

Joni Mitchell- The Hissing Of Summer Lawns Album

All Tori Amos- its the soundtrack of my life (mainly live "bootlegs")

Fear Fun album- Father John Misty- just a perfect, perfect album

Sousa’s Liberty Bell March.

Morrisey - Sister I'm a Poet

“The Bandit” by Kings of Leon. That whole album “When You See Yourself” is great.

Dolly - "Jolene"

Us and Them by Pink Floyd

The lyrics are crazy, singing is great and the bassline deep. Always makes me laugh and dance.

"Drive my Car", The Beatles

"The Waitress", Tori Amos

"Moving", Sudede

"Soulsville", Isaac Hayes

After being reminded of it in the last scene of High School (the Freevee series based on Tegan & Sara's memoir of the same name), I've had "The Last Day Of Our Acquaintance" by Sinead on repeat the last few days. This live performance is incredible.

Also, highly recommend catching High School. Even if you're not a fan of, nor familiar with Tegan & Sara, it's a great coming of age (and coming out) story a lot of us can relate to. It has a killer 90's soundtrack. I can't imagine how much they paid in music rights. Clea Duval adapted the screenplay from the book.

My 1st boyfriend and I wore this album out.

Always love a female drummer and Lindy is an all time great.

R328, The Waitress is in the recent series based on Tegan & Sara's memoir. Cobie Smulders plays their mom and there's a great scene of her driving and blasting it.

EVEN NOW. After a bad breakup.

the song Hejira on Joni Mitchell's "Hejira" album.

Coming Around Again/Itsy Bitsy Spider

I have an obsession with the Anna McCarrigle song "Heart Like a Wheel" that was a huge hit for Linda Ronstadt (released in 1974). Linda didn't sing one of the verses, probably for fear it would encourage suicide?? Anyway, I love it best:

They say that death is a tragedy - It comes once and it's over; But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss - Cause what's the use of living with no true lover?

This beautiful gospel song from Mahalia Jackson...

Every song I've ever liked and heard, pretty much.

But I have Asperger's and possibly ADHD, so my brain feels good washed in rhythmic repetitive noisy loops. It's called stimming.

"I know nothing stays the same

"But if you're willing to play the game

"It will be coming around again."

Mind games, machine head, no rain, baby blue, Jeremy, Maggie May. hey Jude. So many that I listen to a lot. Rocket man, Somebody to love. Just so many.

Well, you're a loudmouth, baby You better shut it up! I'm gonna beat you up Well, you're a loudmouth, babe

I know I'm late to the party, but this guy has the ultimate blues-rock voice. Those runs!
