According to research that has been conducted, humans choose their favorite songs based on their subconscious and how closely it relates to them.
I interviewed the new teacher for journalism, Ms. Little. Her favorite song was Love Goes, by Sam Smith and Labrinth. She loves the musical arrangements and the vocals. Most importantly, she loves the message behind it: “Love changes as we ourselves change and it’s okay to grow different because love will always find a way in your life.”
When Ms. Little listens to the song, she feels rested. She feels as if it recharges her when she listens to it, she feels like she could go on with her day like a comfort song.
In Google it states “Choosing a favorite song is largely influenced by a combination of factors including the song’s emotional impact, personal memories associated with it, the musical elements like melody and rhythm, and how well it aligns with your overall taste in music”.
So while you listen to your favorite song, again listen closely to the lyrics and see how much that song is relatable.
