Answer 1

Answer:

The Nights by Avicii takes me out of this world. I listen to that song and my mood for the day changes, it re-calibrates my mental coordination and there is just something about the lyrics! He explicitly sang about how his dad always told him that one day, he would leave the life he loved so much to somewhere else and how he must live a great life to be remembered. What stronger lyric does one seek to facilitate immense focus.

Whenever I feel like I have achieved too much and was getting proud, I play that song and it humbles me at an instant. Avicii said 'your wild life will live for younger days, think of me if you are ever afraid', that lyrical content sends chills down my spine. I thought within myself, how do these guys come up with such original content? A perfect work of Art and Music fused into one I must say.

On the other hand, there is some other tune that gets under my skin and that is African Queen by a Nigerian singer 2-face. He sheds light on the pureness and beauty of the African Woman, he virtuousness, her originality, and her desire to love unconditionally. He outed; 'just like the sun, you light up the earth, you light up my life, the only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright'! Tell me those words do not hit you hard! I love everything that has to do with love and this songs makes me appreciate women more. These two songs will forever be my favorites!
