First added songs vs Newest added songs

Other keywords: consistent list, current list, updated list, curated list, representative list, oldest songs, newest songs since the song reviewing has slowed down a bit, stagnating due to reviewing most songs on my list, I thought it would be neat to list some first added songs (that are still enjoyed) and compare them to current …

Michele Mclaughin – the north sea

One of the first songs I’ve added to my Instrumental playlist and still there, the torrent of the North Sea is very clear to hear. Not bad, not bad. Grade: B

Sufjan Stevens, “Should Have Known Better”

I'm not usually a Sufjan fan, but the story ideas plot out interestingly enough. Maybe I'll give him a second chance! (tentative grade: B)

I know it's relatively harmless fun, though it feels a little annoying and simple now. Not sure why... The rebellious lyrics talking about giving back what belongs to them feels very angsty though, haha. (D+)

穷开心 [poor happy] by The Flowers [花儿乐队]

It feels weird to listen to a song I'm so familiar from decades ago. Of course, the main melody's got a little annoying by now. Not to mention the verses feel like they drag on a bit. I will give kudos to the chorus though. It's got some bop. (C-)

Kokia – Fukurou

I could've sworn I reviewed this one already. Anyways, the smooth owl noises, the calming mysterious fairy-like sounds... they are all very entrancing. Incredibly unique.

Arigatou (ありがとう) by Ikimonogakari

I first heard this song's chord progression in a video comparing Japanese versus Western songs. Though the subtlety is lost with the singing, the song is mighty fine. The verses are slightly weak to feel I really want to add it to my favorites, but the song overall feels quite warm and welcoming. (B+)

The Faim – The Alchemist

You make December feel like the summerWhen I'm with you, you turn my blue a warmer colourYou take my weather and make it betterWhen I'm with you, it's like we're two birds of a feather I was a lonely drifter (pause) gone with the wind, girlNever saw a life like thisYou make December feel like … The Faim – The Alchemist
