The shifting rank of songs inevitably leads one to question the nature of having a "favourite" and how it truly reflects the inner psyche. It's not doubt overthinking what is an intuitive process. A song sliding down the list of rotation doesn't necessarily mean I like it less, but the cumulative play tally certainly does raise questions of the conscious mind's perception and the subconscious mind's played out truths. Does any of us truly know what makes us happy?
I was certainly happy to finally add some new music to my iPod!
