The Opposite of Shuffle

When I discover a song I like, I tend to listen to it over and over again. Walking to my office takes about 20 minutes, and I'll repeat the same song the whole time, and when I walk home I'll do it again.

Here's what I've been listening to the past few days:

The way the song starts goes well with walking out into a clear cold morning before the sun has changed everything. I'm always extra aware of details in my neighborhood at that time of day (the dew on the pine needles, crows on the telephone wires...junkies in the alley) and the noise and cadence in this song kind of magnify that. The vocals are kind of flawed in parts but I don't mind – in this case it makes them seem more personal or vulnerable.
