Are other people allowed to hear our song when we play it? If so, I choose Macarena and then sell my attendance at parties and weddings and so on.

Is it illegal for me to hear any other person's song? Can we co-ordinate? I think with the 8 billion of us we have around we might actually get close to covering the full library of human songs as long as none of us repeats. In that case then I don't really care which one, I'm happy to be just assigned one to make none of us doubles up. Another question would be how well the human birth rate can keep up with number of new songs people come up with. If we can average out the rate of growth can we just assign any given new song to a registry so we don't exceed that average and that mete out a new entry from the backlog in the registry to each person as they're born? Maybe if we can assign a song to each person that has ever lived or at least who's life was recorded we can add some resilience to account for unexpected low birth yields or something. I'm assuming a song is still "legal" after its person has died. If not it'll be a bit more complicated.

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. I've always loved this song, it has a mix of different styles, from flute-forward chill sections to more classic rock sounding parts.

Oh and the song is over 43 minutes long. Before anyone says "oh but there's part 1 and part 2", this was a limitation of vinyl and not the artistic intent behind the piece. It's one song, fight me.

When has something being illegal stopped anything?

Just break the law. You've not stated what the sentence is and it doesn't sound very enforceable

Killing in the Name - Rage Against The Machine

And, then continue to listen whatever I want.

Suuuuuch a good track. I instantly went to porcupine tree as well when I read the prompt.

Daughters of Darkness, by Halestorm.

Fuck yeah... Yo_oY

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

John Cage - 4'33"

I think if I had only one song, I'd pretty quickly come to hate it. Although props to the commenter who said baby shark. Torture your enemies and become loved by children.

Take five, Brubeck.

Fingerbib by Aphex Twin or AFX. On repeat forever.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons. Because I want to make sure it lasts.

Alternatively, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, as that's technically one song.

"I'm not a good Person" by Pat the Bunny

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If it'd never get old,

The Cranberries - Zombie

However, for a track that wouldn't get old for me very quickly

VØJ, Narvent - Memory Reboot

[–] knocks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

A really hard question, id have to go with a classic. Elton John's Rocket Man.

[–] toadjones79@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

My allotment would be taken up by my wife and kids. So I'd have to ask.

[–] keepee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Smashing Pumpkins - Soma

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Devil Doll's 1989 "The Girl Who Was... Death" album, which is technically one very long track.

[–] variaatio@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

No bravery by James Blunt, so I can play it at endless loop at world leaders.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] iii@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's certainly something. Your song will also play at your funeral :)

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I see.

I'll have to make arrangements so people know the red and blue dresscode is required too.

Phoria - saving us a riot

My comfort song :)

Also it's very relaxing and I think that's a good thing for my peers lol.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

The first time ever I saw your face. Johnny Cash version.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Against me - The ocean.

The intense longing and driving song that is about becoming who you are hits extra hard when you know the singer has now come out as trans and is singing about her true self.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Aurora - Different Kind of Human

Mostly because it resonates so strongly with me, lyrically, and the song itself is so beautiful and timeless

Tori Amos - Yes, Anastasia

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Used to have a good buddy who was really into tori amos and could play a lot of her songs. Hope hes doing alright.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

https://youtu.be/nS9QtzGwBcc simple enough that maybe it won't get annoying

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The 11 minute version of heard it through the grapevine cover by ccr where they just jam the hell out for the last half of the song

Or any instrumental by northlane. I like his vocals too but the instrumental just feels so good

Edit: Or maybe for longevity go with somrthing like the blue danube waltz or requiem in d minor

[–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Dopesmoker by Sleep

[–] ray1992xd@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

We Are The Others by Delain

[–] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Either Till It's Over or Once Again by Tristam

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

Some mashup song that combines 5-6 songs

Peter Gabriel- In Your Eyes
