How I Find My Favorite Songs

Everyone has at least a small handful of songs that they just love to listen to, myself included. But, can you remember how you first started listening to those favorite songs of yours? I feel like for me, there are two ways that I can get hooked on a specific song. I either listen to it once somewhere and BAM, it's my new obsession, or more often than not I have to listen to a song a few times before I even start to like it.

I'm bringing up this topic because recently I have been introduced to a new artist that I've never heard of before, called Foxes. I am specifically speaking about her new song "Glorious," and the first time I heard this song I didn't mind it, but it was not a song that I was planning on going back to listen to again in the near future. However, for some reason I did, and it gradually turned into me listening to this song multiple times and it getting stuck in my head all day yesterday. It's just so interesting that a song you don't think you like all that much can morph into one of your current favorites.

However, I've also listened to a song for the first time and love it from the get-go, as in the case of Ellie Goulding's song "Lights." I heard that song playing on the radio way back when it was first released, and it became one of my favorite songs at that moment. So, how do you typically find the songs that you love? Do you just have to listen to them once and you're hooked, or do you need some time and the repeat button to realize what an awesome track it is? Let me know!
