+Many times I find myself navigating through music streaming platforms in search of something to listen to while I do other stuff, such as playing around with Godot.
+As a musician myself, when I find a song I find particularly good, I save it for later listening sessions.
+
+## What are the factors I take into account when analyzing a song?
+### Melody and drums
+One of the first thing I notice in a song is surely the **drums** and the **lead melody**. Those two are what really make a song get stuck in your head.  
+
+
+Something I really like is when the drums go hard, making the whole song instruments follow that rhythm.
+
+One of the artists which music influenced me most regarding drums is [Iron T Hawk](https://twitter.com/ironthawk), with their album [ToT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0XbGVV8E8).
+
+### Harmony
+Going further, I analyze the harmony of the song, trying to understand the chord progression and how each chord links to the others.  
+This is really useful for me, because I can make use of the knowledge I gathered to make my own music.  
+I listen to many genres of music, especially jazz, which comes with lots of complex chords compared to most of the music out there.  
+Sometime I also analyze traditional music, like traditional japanese music.
+
+### Lyrics
+Music not only inspires me in composing, but also in writing stories.  
+I'm always looking through many lyrics of many different songs.  
+A song that really inspired me is [GATE OF STEINER](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJtoh7ggGDE) from Steins;Gate for its conception of time.
+
+## Some music I like

+- [Iron T Hawk](https://www.youtube.com/@ironthawk)'s albums for their energetic and mysterious sounds.
