Mind Music

General
I wanted to pose a bit of a thought experiment.
Music is tied deeply with my thoughts, and so I link songs to a lot of things. My characters, places, things, and even my own brain.
Whenever I think of the inner workings of my own mind, I tend to think of cogs, gears, springs, and steam. Ticking clockworks and steam power. All of it pitched with music, might be a reason why I have a fondness for Steampunk.
I thought this song captured the sound and feel of my own mind perfectly.
Does anyone else have a song that captures themselves perfectly? Be it your personality, thoughts, attitude, etc.?
I was curious and wondered if it was just me being weird.
Comment below your thoughts, and feel free to link your song/music.
Would be fun to hear what makes my Watchers tick. ^,..,^

For something less depressing, Kao Dekaai from Dr. Slump is perfect for my more wild and zany side.
For me, it depends on the situation, whether it's electronic, rock, country, folk, adult contemporary, holiday/christmas, tropical/tribal, Gregorian/choir music.
It's this reason for choir singing, Eric Whitacre comes to my mind first, then Mannheim Steamroller and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would be my other two choir and band ones.
As for electronic, Djays from Laidback Luke, to Marin Garrix, to Retrovision, to Armin Van Buuren, as well as classics from Cher, Captain Hollywood Project, The Human League, and Kim Carnes.
Soft rock groups like 3 Doors Down and Rush are another ones; And in terms of pop music, Michelle Branch, Vitamin C, Hilary Duff, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, Ne-Yo and Usher comes to mind.
As for orchestra, Alan Silvestri, John Williams, and John Carpenter comes to mind, and songs like "Air For Band" still being my top favorite orchestra piece of all time.
So it's cool to see you're going for a more fantasy fiction industrial type of mindset with music to match your characters. But I do note that some of your creatures are near earth or in outer space, not just on planet earth most of the time.
But honestly, if I would picture my mind, it would be somewhere on the level of a fusion between orchestral and modern alternative. No lyrics, only music. It would be the kind of song you hear in the background during a character creation screen of a RPG, where the music is making you feel that every detail you choose will make a difference.
The song that identifies me is this one. https://youtu.be/-HwPKDlb3e8?si=dmgytCuDfpK5nHnl
It talks about how I've been searching for my own safe place for years, the one that has been simple, and that the passage of time is inevitable. I still search for my simple, quiet place.♥
