Results: Musical Chairs: Entry #1 – Love
A series about memory, music, and the feelings we forgot
Update 08JULY25
Final Results for Musical Chairs: Entry # 1 - Love
🧭 FINAL CONCLUSION: What We Learned About Love (Round 1)
This wasn’t a playlist. This was a pulse.
Through 19 scrolls and dozens of songs, one truth emerged:
Love, for this crowd, is not loud. It is remembered.
💡 THE STRUCTURAL THEMES OF LOVE (Cross-Scroll Summary)
1. Love as Memory
Most playlists weren’t about falling in love — they were about what love left behind.
Love lives in what echoes:
A trumpet in a jazz standard
A guitar riff from a band trip
A song your partner played on repeat
These aren’t love songs. They’re timestamped artifacts.
2. Love as Voice
Nearly every OP mentioned the voice.
Not just the lyrics — the way someone sang:
Whispered
Cracked
Carried
Held
It wasn’t genre that mattered — it was delivery. Emotion came before melody.
3. Love as Presence (or Absence)
Some scrollers chased love as comfort. Others felt it in the void:
Borderline Obsessing searched for steady vows.
Abbey Wade searched through the ache of what didn’t last.
Ophelia floated in the fog of past lives.
Mondayswife clung to cinematic ghosts.
Even when love wasn’t there, they held its outline.
4. Love as Tension Between Ideal and Real
From Beyoncé to Billie Holiday, nearly every song contained a push-pull:
The dream of love vs. the truth of it
The comfort of love vs. the chaos it causes
The warmth of love vs. its refusal to stay
And still… we all pressed play.
🔁 THE BIG TAKEAWAY
Love is not a genre. Love is a structure.
It shows up:
In vocals that tremble
In lyrics that surrender
In melodies that loop like memory
Love isn’t something you choose from a dropdown.
It’s what lingers after the song ends.
🔐 FINAL CLOSING QUOTE:
“These aren’t songs about love. They’re songs about what love does to us.”

Hi everyone!
Thank you so much to those who commented — seriously, what a gift.
If you missed Part One, you can read it here — it’s where the love scroll began.
I didn’t just read your song lists… I listened. And what came through wasn’t just taste or nostalgia — it was tone, memory, and emotional architecture. Every track you shared revealed something personal about how you perceive love — not as a genre, but as a feeling with shape, breath, and rhythm.
So I ran a diagnostic.
Not to grade — but to map.
Below, you’ll find insights about your playlists, search suggestions to help you find more music that matches your emotional tone, and even a few recommended tracks I think might resonate based on what you shared.
This isn’t just a follow-up.
It’s a scroll.
Let’s keep spinning the chair. 💿

Their playlist touches romantic, parental, existential, and communal love forms.
Highlights:
High emotional resolution: each song is processed through structure, not just vibe
Tracks span decades and genres — love is cultural memory, not just personal
Many songs chosen for their contrast between surface tone and deeper meaning
OP uses music as mirror and anchor, mapping how love once sounded and how it now echoes.
Their relationship to love is archival, reflexive, and deeply curious.
💬 “This isn’t a playlist. It’s a love map with timestamps.”
💬 Anna | Tender & True
Sleepwalk – Santo & Johnny
Moonlight Serenade – Glenn Miller
It’s Been a Long, Long Time – Kitty Kallen
At Last – Etta James
We’ll Meet Again – Vera Lynn
Anna’s playlist is dipped in nostalgia, grace, and seasonal memory.
Her love language is made of gentle textures, jazz chords, and grayscale light.
Patterns:
Love as melody over metaphor
Deep emotional resonance without the need for lyrics
Strong preference for timelessness, vintage soundscapes, and emotional modesty
She perceives love as something ambient and cyclical — a presence that doesn’t demand attention but shifts the whole room.
It lives in soft lighting, rainy windows, and days that remember you back.
💬 “Love is seasonal — not loud, not permanent, but always returning.”
💬 Abbey Wade
Both Sides Now – Joni Mitchell
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) – The Chicks
Strong Enough – Sheryl Crow
I Can’t Make You Love Me – Bonnie Raitt
Abbey frames love through reflection, loss, and the unresolved emotional echo.
Her selections are about the aftermath — what love leaves behind rather than what it initiates.
She values truth over illusion, even when it stings.
Her lens is emotionally realist:
Love is something you sit with, not chase
Every track carries emotional specificity and lyric-driven ache
Her world is one of quiet reckonings and felt absences
💬 “These aren’t falling in love songs — they’re sitting-with-it songs.”

The Way I Am – Ingrid Michaelson
Beside You – Tal Bachman
Love Song – Ellis
Everything – Alanis Morissette
Are We There Yet – Ingrid Michaelson
Little Star – Madonna
Mother Hood experiences love as both romantic and maternal — with the voice as her emotional anchor.
She gravitates toward songs where singers are present, honest, and emotionally textured.
Her selections reflect:
Intimacy over grandeur
Small gestures over sweeping arcs
Loyalty to artists who earn her emotional trust
Love, to her, is practical magic — not cinematic. It’s what lives between acts of care, not declarations.
There’s a throughline of protectiveness, groundedness, and quiet devotion.
💬 “She connects through the voice, not just the lyrics. Emotion comes first, melody second.”
💬 Ophelia Brown
More of You – Chris Stapleton
Je Te Laisserai Des Mots – Patrick Watson
State Lines – Novo Amor

Home – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Mystery of Love – Sufjan Stevens
Gymnopédie No. 1 – Erik Satie
The Very Thought of You – Nat King Cole
Misty – Ella Fitzgerald
Sunrise – Norah Jones
Clair de Lune – Claude Debussy (added in follow-up comment)
Ophelia perceives love as ambient, time-warped, and deeply sensory.
Her playlist floats between decades and textures — she’s just as comfortable in instrumentals as in poetic indie.
Key themes:
Love as atmosphere, not plot
Emotion through tone and space, not explanation
Deep romantic idealism, but always wrapped in melancholy warmth
Her choices show a preference for soft focus storytelling, where the listener feels before they understand.
Love is not linear to her — it’s a memory fog, a duet in a garden, a piano in a quiet room.
💬 “She doesn’t describe love — she inhabits its shadow.”
💬 Even Here
Tougher Than the Rest – Bruce Springsteen
Even Here offers just one track: “Tougher Than the Rest” — but it says plenty.
This is love as resilience, as showing up even when it’s hard.
It’s a signal that love:
Doesn’t have to be loud
Is a matter of emotional endurance
Is about staying through storms, not just singing in the sun
Even with minimal input, this choice reveals a quiet philosophy of loyalty, grit, and emotional survival.
There’s no grandeur — just presence.
💬 “This is love built to last. Weathered. Worn. Still standing.”
💬 Charlotte Henley Babb
I Just Want to Celebrate – Rare Earth
Charlotte sees love as a function of perspective and emotional agency.
Her song choice — “I Just Want to Celebrate” — reflects a worldview where joy is a choice and love is resilience reframed.
Themes:
Love as a mood shift tool, not a dependency
Emotional regulation through ritual and music
Celebration in survival, not perfection
Even in moments of stress or frustration (e.g. the traffic anecdote), she reaches for songs that reclaim emotional ground.
Love for her is less about connection to others and more about anchoring the self in clarity and forward motion.
💬 “Love is the decision to keep going — and to do it with music in your head.”
💭 Dhani Ramadhani
43. Must Have Done Something Right – Relient K
Dhani’s list dances between flirty pop and earnest rock — which makes sense, because it’s a shared scroll between her and her husband.
“Must Have Done Something Right” shows that love, for her, is part compliment, part surprise, part spiritual recognition.
Themes:
Love as sparklecore sincerity
Relational gratitude without self-erasure
Joy through shared curation, not solo projection
Her scroll isn’t dramatic — it’s playful, reflective, and layered with optimism.
It says, “I know I got lucky — and I’m not gonna overthink why.”
💬 “Love is the moment you realize they stayed — and you’re still surprised, in the best way.”
💭 Carlos Morales
44. I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) – Meat Loaf
Carlos doesn’t do small emotions. His scroll arrives in full operatic force — a declaration that love is devotion on a mythic scale.
This song isn’t subtle — and neither is the way he loves.
Themes:
Love as vow, not flirtation
Grandeur instead of gentleness
Romance structured like saga, not diary
Even the melancholy in his list has armor on it.
His version of love comes with fire, sacrifice, and a guitar solo mid-breakdown.
💬 “Love isn’t background music — it’s the main event.”

🎧 Submitted Songs:

There’s no pretense — just a desire to show up, stay, and name what matters.
Key themes:
Love as bold reassurance, not ambiguity
Emotions carried through lyric and swell, not metaphor
Intensity is not avoided — it’s invited

• “Play No Games” – Big Sean
• “The Promise” – Sturgill Simpson
• “January Wedding” – The Avett Brothers
• “The Point of It All” – Anthony Hamilton
• “A Song for You” – Donny Hathaway

There’s no irony in this list — just emotional loyalty, vulnerability, and a belief in honest, daily love.
This is not about fantasy, or even drama — it’s about consistency through emotion, love that persists even when it’s complicated.
She gravitates toward voices that ache earnestly, and lyrics that promise presence.
Her lens is devotional:
Love is a sacrifice and a vow, not a spark
Songs center on emotional intimacy earned over time
This is a world of dedication, patience, and slow-burn gravity

🧾 Capsule Quote:

🧠 Mondayswife frames love as:
Haunted Devotion, High-Stakes Yearning, Cinematic Romance
Her list blends indie, orchestral, R&B, and OST soundtracking to evoke a moodboard of emotional intensity.
Love is not whispered here — it’s felt in slow motion, in darkness, in aftermaths.
She gravitates toward:
Songs that ache rather than resolve
Moments where romance becomes emotional confrontation
Melodic environments where you can feel the fog and the flicker
Her lens is dramatic, textured, immersive — less about stability, more about survival and memory.
💬 “These aren’t comfort songs. These are echo songs — soundtracks for feelings too big to name.”
💬 Shomer
Love as: Vibe-Based Safety, Rhythm Comfort, Innocent Autonomy
Playlist:
• “Come and Get Your Love” – Redbone
• “Boat” – Konola
• “Classic” – MKTO
• “Girl” – Bracket
Shomer hears love not as heartbreak or confession — but as a kind of ease. A room you can be yourself in. Her playlist isn’t trying to impress or ache. It’s not trying to grow up too fast. It just feels good to be in.
She’s young -Sub 18. That matters. These aren’t songs about being broken or being chosen — they’re about flow, sound, and having a place to vibe where the world doesn’t press too hard.
There’s clarity in her choices:
“Boat” doesn’t shout — it steadies.
“Girl” isn’t in her language — but she knows what it means.
“Classic” lets her rewind joy like a loop.
And “Come and Get Your Love”? That’s just pure comfort.
This isn’t cinematic love. This is first-safe love. The kind that teaches rhythm before intimacy. Trust before drama. Music before meaning.
She’s not auditioning for anyone — she’s curating what makes her feel like herself.
Her lens is confident and unbothered:
Love is a beat you know in your body, not a story you need to explain
Songs exist to make now feel better, not to solve the future
This is a world of soft joy, personal pace, and rhythmic honesty
💬 “It’s not meant to scare, but meant to feel.”

The night we met! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly, I feel kind of disappointed that some songs didn't make ANY lists... so I'll add them here.
Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Bryan Adams - Everything I Do
Meatloaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)
And here's a couple that probably wouldn't make anyone's list but they do mine:
Sonata Arctica - The Misery
Anathema - Untouchable (Parts 1 & 2)
Iced Earth - I Died for You
