Which of your songs could help the people of Earth re-populate after an apocalyptic event? Who are your influences? What song do you wish you would have written? What I’ve always wondered about bagpipes  is that the tones linger for so long, is that actual breath control or is there something inherent in the instrument that makes the notes go that long? asked by Caleb Straus on episode 75.

An apocalyptic event happens on Earth and wipes out a good portion of the humans; one song from every artist survives, what one song from your artists should survive to help repopulate the Earth.
