Yes - another meme that I stole from Kelly, who borrowed it from someone named Steve (whom I admittedly do not know from). But I thought it'd be an ok thing to do - not that you guys don't get enough music crud from me to begin with.
The reality is, I've got about 14,000 songs in my music library and there isn't just one song to fit each category. Is it even possible to have a favourite song? I think I picked it because I just saw a documentary on Simon & Garfunkel from 40 years ago. Still - it is an incredible song.
And of course, I have trouble with 'happy' and 'sad' and what determines what makes me feel that way when I hear a song. It's not like it is going to be "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows" or "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word", respectively.
Suffice to say - I put way too much time into this post. WAY too much. But then I had 14,000 songs to go through.

Simon & Garfunkel were my "first love" band, WAY back when albums came on vinyl. I stuck with Paul Simon for a little bit too long, but he came back with Graceland. I don't think I could do this meme; it would take forever. But I do like seeing through your window into some new artists or songs I might pursue.
