can’t do 5 songs, but can do one and i think it’s amazing, it’s a bit depressing and melancholic at the same time, lyrics:

Seven devils all around you

Seven devils in your house

I was dead when i woke up this morning,

I’ll be dead before the day is done…

I think its awesome Florence and the Machine “Seven devils”

I know how you feel. I just had my PC count how many files I had added so far to my player. So I’ve got a top 2714. :slight_smile: and that is just the fast foot tapping metal/rock side of my collection. :open_mouth: and I’m still not quite done going through all the recordings yet, nor even started on my non metal/rock foot tapping throttle twisting madness. Let alone the slower stuff…
