So… this was hard. While listening to Kerala from the music wizard Bonobo, I’m struggling to put into words what this music list means to me. Here’s my try:

It’s not a secret that I’m a festival lover and take beautiful techno at heart. Some of my favorites are Araya from Fatima Yamaha and Glue from Bicep. After being in higher places, there comes a moment where music is the drug to get me back on my feet again. For this cruise to my bed, I use Let It Happen from Tame Impala, Youth from Glass Animals and Instant Crush from Daft Punk – three masterpieces. Climaxes are (also) a must in music for me. The feeling of ecstasy techno brings me, I find in rock music too. Sultans Of Swing and Child In Time are hands down two of the best songs ever made. Those guitar solos... Luckily they still make amazing rock nowadays, like Red Eyes and Amsterdam.

Although the playlist isn’t in hierarchical order, number one really is number one. For those who haven’t noticed, my left arm is covered with the album cover of Tattoo’d Lady from Rory Gallagher. My sister has the same tattoo on her leg. My father used to play it in the car on vacations and raised his daughters with the delight of rock. The song and the tattoo celebrate my father: the most beautiful person in this world. And that’s all she wrote.
