Favorite Song: Hurt by Eric Whitacre

Day #30: Alternative Hotlist - Youtube
Favorite Song: Just a Mess - Tones and I
Why: It's powerful and pretty.
New Song Discovered: Wrecked - Imagine Dragons
Experience: Good. I didn't get to listen to music for very long. It was too distracting for the minotaur when he was devouring me in the maze.

Day #31: the Romeo and Juliet musical soundtrack from The Fosters
Favorite Songs: ALL OF THEM. I am still waiting for that to become a real musical. The writers and actors did an extraordinary job. If I absolutely had to pick a top three, that would be 1. the Prologue (gives me chills every time), 2. Bleed As One (makes me want to cry, especially on the final reprise), and 3. Be Brave (those little, sharp breaths as Juliet is put into the corset are just... *chef's kiss*).
Why: Just listen to the soundtrack. Or better yet, watch the show so that you can watch the entire episode (without spoiling some very important info if you haven't seen the show).
Experience: Absolutely wonderful.

Day #38 and 39: Discover Weekly on Spotify
Favorite Song: Lighthouse - Alex G and Danielle Bennett
Why: Okay, this song is gorgeous and powerful. I mean, heart-wrenching lyrics AND slam poetry? HELL YES. It reaches my soul in such a unique way. Like, look at this lyric: "Shrink me tiny enough to escape failure by any one of my hundred definitions. Help me believe that this art was only ever an experiment." It was so perfect for the challenge.
New Songs Discovered (other than Lighthouse): Incomplete - James Bay, You Matter to Me - Drew Gehling, and Colour Me In - Damien Rice.
Experience: Fantastic. These songs have a peaceful, heartbroken, nostalgic feel to me, and it was exactly the vibe I needed.

Day #40: Contemporary classical music/Piano Chill
Favorite Song: Nuvole Blanche by Ludovico Einaudi
Why: It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song; it always speaks to me.
New Song Discovered: Pearl of Dawn by Judson Hurd
Experience: Fairly good. It was the perfect music to listen to for the challenge, but the app was being weird and kept pausing songs when I didn't ask it to, so I gave up after a while.

Day #41 and 42: Billie Eilish
Favorite Song: Happier Than Ever
Why: It has such a sleepy, old-timey sound in the beginning, and then it switches to something so modern and powerful. The whole thing is just phenomenal.
New Songs Discovered: basically all of them because I've never looked into Billie Eilish before. Honorable mention to Bad Guy and Getting Older.
Experience: Awesome. There's this weird thing happening in the world where if you like Billie Eilish, you're made fun of? But her music's really cool. She has a unique sound.
