2. I'm still mostly listening to Hamilton though.  I don't wanna wear it out, but I'm not sick of it at all…  I could listen to it, or I could not, and I really really wanna.

3. There's only a couple of numbers I don't love that much - "Farmer Refuted" and "Washington On Your Side."  FR - I still can't actually hear both sides of the argument at once (or I should say, I can't hear what Ham's saying when he's talking over/around someone); WOYS is just kinda repetitive?  Sorry.  *ducks.*

4. I usually skip the King George songs… it's funny, they were highlights of familiarity the first time I listened through.  And they're hilarious, don't get me wrong!  But musically they don't feel like they're in the same world as the rest - which makes sense, brilliant idea and execution - but when I turn on Hamilton, it's cause I want to be immersed in that revolutionary world.

5. Favorites change through time.  My very first were "Satisfied" and "Wait For It" (I still think those are two of the best), but I've gone through obsessively listening to… hm… "Take A Break" (soundtrack to the first fic I started), a few of the less show-stopping more sing-y tracks - "Dear Theodosia" and "Hurricane" and "One Last Time."  "That Would Be Enough," over and over again, it's so relevant to my life.  The battle songs, especially "Stay Alive" and "Yorktown."  And oh, for crying over John Laurens reasons, "Raise A Glass (reprise)."
