johncomicand by this I mean this: a 30-Day Song Challenge [thanx, moviediva!] -- why not just start now, where I am?
Day 1: A song you like with a color in the title.
For me, there can be only one, glaringly obvious choice:
The Big Blue by Sulk
Somewhere over the course of the past seven years since this song came out, it became my fave song of all time. As luck would have it, the requirement of a colour allows me to choose it to kick off my challenge.
I have listened to this song just about every day since it came out -- every single day. It has become my traditional way to start my day: I fire up the laptop, grab my brekkie, then settle in and play this song. When I only had a limited number of Sulk songs available, I would play their entire oeuvre every day. But now that they have twice as much sutff, I figure I don't always have that kind of time, so as long as I play some Sulk then I'm good. And eventually I got to the point where I usually just play one, and this is it.
The weird thing is, I still cannot explain to anyone why. It's not like I think this is demonstrably the greatest song ever made. But this is my song and I love it. Still not tired of it, I still listen to it actively and mindfully, I still sometimes air-guitar to it... I have never known another song to have such astonishing staying power for me.
