Tunes - "As I'm getting older y'all people get colder"
Black Eyed Peas' "Where is the Love"
and like the irresistible twinkle found in some men's eyes, I'm a sucker for that cello...and then, secondly for the instrumental layers throughout. Speaking of instrumental layers, I also love hearing musical phrases that interplay. Notice in Pulp's Like a Friend, after the first set of lyrics is sung, the guitar picks up on that melody and plays it as a second accompanying voice to the next set of lyrics being sung. It's a wonderful effect. In James Blunt's Wiseman, the layers are introduced one by one from the start and melded together for a few bars until each takes turns to be highlighted at different points throughout the song - some almost in a reactionary style. The ears in my brain love this kind of stuff.
