I have made a pretty varied playlist: from one of the most sexiest dance tunes of this time (please, do watch the clip if you haven’t seen it yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ASUImTedo); to Joe Pass’ classic Autumn Leaves; to some singer-songwriters from the 90’s; to modern electronic-indie. It was pretty difficult to select just ten songs, so, yes, it did become a bit longer. (I do apologize if it’s too long.)
Most of my time in high-school I spend playing/performing in bands – many hours on learning lyrics, chords(progressions), writting new stuff etc. The songs on the list, amongst others, have shaped me as an artist. I’ve been lucky to have seen all of them (except from Pass) life at big festivals or cozy small theaters and I wish to continue to enjoy music as much as possible.
