Now, looking at these songs, you can see that some of them have very similar characteristics. A lot of them seem to be rather depressing. Yet, they are also very peaceful, which is why they are so high on the list. Do I listen to Snow Patrol the most? No, in fact the band I listen to the most isn't even in the top 25. House of Heroes takes up most of my musical attention. Their CD hasn't left my car since it came out back in September of last year. But these songs are all rather sleep worth. That's right. I listen to these songs when I'm trying to sleep. Quite often. There are a few outliers in the group. There are a few in the group that are also there because they matched my mood a lot. Which I hate to admit but I went through a fairly depressed state not too long ago.
Overall, I wish I could change these top 25. But they will likely stay in this or close to this order for a while. But I'll live with it because they are still pretty good songs. (mostly). I just wish HoH was up there. (first House of Heroes song is number 46 *sad face*) I think a person's top 25 can tell you a lot about them. But mine isn't very accurate. Maybe I'm in denial.
