I like to sing but have a good range of about half an octave. Here are the two extremes for me.

Cherokee by Kamasi Washington has an angelic singer who I cannot stand to sing with, I just listen.

We always belt it on C'mon Baby Cry by Orville Peck though even though nobody in my house can hit both his low and high falsetto notes, his voice & range is crazy good. I'm sure it sounds bad but feels so good to sing.

All of them. I don't like to sing. I also like a fair bit of music that doesn't have many (or any) lyrics.

Big fan of classical music over here so I get that. Do you stop and listen or nod along or tap your foot?

[–] Dalacos@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I've been accused of tapping my foot by the downstairs neighbours in my early 20's. Had no clue I was doing it. But apparently, I do...

God, Takk... is a masterpiece. Dammit, I'm gonna have to listen to it again.

That's a good song, and the video that was awesome.

i dont actually have any of those, i love singing and most of my music is something i can sing to ^^

other than that, its either instrumental or something i havent learned the lyrics for yet

I was going to say Darude Sandstorm, but I actually think I have followed along with that one.

Diva dance from The Fifth Element?

Most of them

Mostly only instrumentals. I suck at singing, but it brings me joy, So I do it anyway.

That being said, there's a few I can't really sing along to most of. If we were vampires, by Jason isbell is one. There's parts I can follow, but most of the song, my voice just breaks on, so I more just hum along with, or mouth the lyrics.

His other songs feel better to sing IMO, Last of my Kind and If it Takes a Lifetime are both so satisfying to sing.

Arkona, because I don't speak Russian. Palmetta, because it's so beautiful.
