The second question, a good subject here. Not going into as many details/history but these songs all got frequent airplay when I was going through difficult times, both as a youth and an adult. These are easily the most relatable songs in my collection.
Well maybe I will over-share anonymously here as opposed to directly at work. "Cool Waves" and "Floating in Space" were from when I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and literally had days to get surgery before I would've been terminal. "Avalanche" is from when I lost my mother to cancer, I still can't make it all the way through this song. "Take Your Burden to the Lord" was when I was dropped from chemotherapy because I was no longer a candidate and had to manage my recovery on my own, which I did through Ayurveda, diet and a positive mindset. "Flow my Tears" is my go to song anytime I am feeling down. "Lucifer Landed" is for anytime I question myself or my intentions. "Holy" reminded me of an ex, that dumped me because I wasn't Christian enough for her. "The Skeleton Collection" is a little too on point for me. And "It's a Crime" is a good reminder of seizing the moment to say what's on your mind before its too late.
