I like to listen to this song while I’m driving because it makes me feel like I am on my way to do something cool or cutting class in high school. -Ben

This song is like a bibimbap of sweet tones. His deep baritone melts my heart like butter. -Ben

What more can I say? -Noah

Animal Collective - "Fireworks"
This sound rides its train track-sounding drum beat through the many chambers of your heart. -Noah

I've had this song stuck in my head all day. It's just super cool and has a haunted sinister kind of sound that you don't forget. -Zach

I love jazz and this song is crazy cool. Everyone in Coltrane's band at this time sounds so powerful and they are the best at what they do. -Zach
