love this ask bc my brain compartmentalizes life events and tells time through music and this is the first song i remember loving. i couldn’t wait to be a grown up and drink coffee by the beach when i heard this one. i would still like to drink coffee by the beach whilst listening to some norah. (i am told that my very first favorite song as a baby was “believe” by cher).

Not one I purchased, but the first CD I was given as a child. Used to listen to this in the car with my grandmother when she’d pick me up and drive me to ballet lessons. Very formative album for me since it’s this and the live version of landslide that were the first “real” music I can remember hearing. If it’s first music I personally purchased… a bunch of random cds from the used book store when I was in middle school. Don’t know what would be in that stack.

What was your first favorite song when you became old enough to have a favorite song? Like when you could provide an answer to someone who asked? (mine was tall, tall, trees by alan jackson when I was ~4)

a technical non-answer, as i’m not sure if it’s the BEST song ever, but moreso, likely my favorite.
my dad used to make custom mixtapes on cds while i was growing up to play for different occasions. i had a ‘going to sleep’ mixtape, a ‘ride to the bus stop’ mixtape, a ’roadtrip’ mixtape, all of it.
love her was on one of the tapes and i had liked the song a lot but it wasn’t one that i remembered and streamed in my teen years. but then, it randomly appeared on spotify radio. i heard it and started crying. it brought back so many good memories but also sounded like the first listen all over again. so i started playing it: over, and over, and over. and it still hasn’t gotten old.
my top streamed song by a longshot
