17,23, and 30!!!!!
17: A song that would sing a duet with on karaoke
I will always belt this at the top of my lungs at any chance I get I don't care that its five nights at freddies no one will deprive me of this.
23:A song that you think everybody should listen to
Not as fun as the last, but I think everyone should hear this song at least once in their lives. The way it conveys the most pure sense of human emotion through nothing but vocalisations, is beautiful. With the added knowlage of what the song is about, and the man who sang it, it only hits deeper.
30:A song that reminds you of yourself
This song is like if my brain was a song. I think this is the best fit to the question.
