Whether it is music or TED talks, you can find or make playlists. Like reading lists, they are lists of songs or talks that someone feels go well together. An album of music such as Barry Tugwell's French horn pieces often alternates between rousing music and calm music. When our greatgrandson was a little kid, Lynn made up a couple of CD's of music she thought he would like to listen to. I just played one yesterday. It is full of pep and memories.
Of course the songs on it are familiar to us. They are all popular music but not of the most recent decades.
I have spent too much time trying to avoid retyping the list of songs and I am posting this as is. I hope one or the other of these lists will encourage you to try Amazon Music, Apple Music or Google Music if not Spotify or some other sound and music service to give you a chance to list to music full of memories, meaning and spirit for you.
