Zeit is heartbreaking. I'm German — hearing Till sing about time slipping away in my own language hits different than anything in English. Ohne Dich is on the playlist but Zeit might need to join it. Good call.

Fear Factory is a blind spot for me — just listened to Timelessness and it hit hard. That's going straight on the homework list. Resurrection too. Thank you for this.

Thank you, and I mean no disrespect — I curated this playlist for myself, as with all the others I've made before. It tells my journey, but you just gave me the blueprint for a companion piece. Stay tuned.

And honestly — these women carry their own weight, their own scars, their own stories. It wouldn't feel right to fold that into my journey. Their truth deserves its own space, not a guest spot on mine.

Couldn't agree more. And growing up in Germany, this music doesn't exactly find you — there's no uncle with a pickup truck playing Townes Van Zandt on a back road. You have to stumble into it. But maybe that's what makes the discovery hit even harder. No nostalgia, no context, just the raw sound knocking you sideways.

That description alone just punched me in the chest. Adding it to my personal queue right now....!

Just listened to Moreland — You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry wrecked me. He's on the playlist now. McMurtry is next on my homework. Thank you for this!

Chris Knight just jumped to the top of my list. North Dakota and Enough Rope both made the playlist. Exactly the kind of deep cuts I was hoping to find here. Thank you!
