We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, you’ll find an album of theirs you love, a duet they’ve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball! old soul is my favourite, here are some recs: Let’s Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin
It’s All Right - Sam Cooke
Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore
Security - Otis Redding
Dearest Darling - Etta James There is so much to explore!

pro tip, dreams don’t always make sense - so when weird/bad stuff happens, you can shrug it off and be like wow what a weird dream bro 🤷
