King Krule is so talented and I find his search for a new sounds very inspirational.

Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I was feeling the feels and this song was my annual march for a time.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

David Bowie - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - 2012 Remaster

When I listen up this song, all the loneliness disappears, immediately. Listened to it all when I travel alone and catch the harmony and enjoy my own company without losing my integration with such different environments.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Zen - Birozdan

This is an amazing closure for a 4am hour about-to-leave the pub situation. It says in Turkish “soon everyone’s going home, soon everyone will be dreaming”.
