With only three songs, I would make sure they were all throwbacks because the reaction that I'm looking for is something like "Oh shit, I remember this song!" or "This was on that album? Okay!" Nostalgia can fill you with wonder and movement, if used responsibly. In three songs, I want to remind people of what may have been a better time, even if that better time was one of solitude or reprieve.
This first track sets the mood, the guiding principle for the next 15 minutes:
1. Just Fine by Mary J. Blige
The second track means for you to grab your friends for a dance off:
2. Show Me What You Got by Jay-Z
The third track slows things down and makes you sway to the wonder of how long it has been since you heard this song:
3: I Won’t Tell by Fat Joe and J. Holiday
What are your three songs?
