Childhood
Robbie Williams-Let Me Entertain You
As a child a quickly grow attached to this song due to it being continuously played in the car on long drives and being used repeatedly in school discos. The electric guitar that was used throughout the song always allowed me and my friends to channel our inner rock stars by playing air-guitar during our schools dances and for that reason this will always remind me of my childhood and gives great nostalgia whenever it comes on the radio.
Early Teens
I discovered this song when a friend played it on his CD player in his car and instantly feel in love with it and asked for it to repeated and replayed whenever we carpooled together (much to the delight of his mother) within a week I went out a personally bought the album the first one I had ever bought and played it constantly in my room on my personal CD player, sadly Ipods were not common place at the time. The mix of an upbeat tempo with loud and enthusiastic singing is what I think led me to enjoy it so much which followed the themes of the aforementioned Robbie Williams song.
Present Day
Foo Fighters- The Pretender
I had previously at one point heard this song but never really gave it much regard however one day I was browsing through Spotify and decided to click on this song. At the moment this song is ranked within my top 5 favorite ever songs mainly for the pure energy and meaning it gives when I hear it. Dave Grohl the frontman and main singer for the Foo Fighters produces such raw emotion in this song which helps to give a message within his lyrics that is extremely applicable to modern day life. Because of this song I listened to many of the Foo Fighters past albums and charts toppers and has since become my all time favorite band because of it. The use of heavy electric guitar and drums mixed with moments of near silence help to greatly enhance to rifts of the song and help make it a truly phenomenal track, and has quickly become my favorite song to belt out in the car when i'm on my own.
