My 3 Golden Record Picks:

As – Stevie Wonder

As is an interstellar love ballad written and performed by Stevie Wonder, released along with arguably his greatest piece of work,  Songs In the Key of Life, in 1976.

A Day In the Life – The Beatles

A Day In the Life is a musical rollercoaster that serves as the grand finale to The Beatles’ legendary 1967 concept album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

 

Pt. II – Resolution

Resolution is an exhilarating and engaging jazz piece composed by John Coltrane that serves as the second quarter of what many consider his magnum opus, A Love Supreme.

My direction in this prompt was to pick songs I feel are the most charged with emotion. As is somehow both epic and comforting in nature, and I felt the themes of outer space were fitting, A Day In the Life starts quite simple, but unravels into a grandiose piece rapidly changing in tone, and Resolution manages bring out a beautifully sinister tone without any lyrics to help.
