    And I find it easier to focus when I'm listening to something that doesn't have words going on. I can keep a flow going and not accidently start typing words I'm hearing. Bit of a sidetrack but I'm either listening to the words in the songs, or I'm just listening to the noise of the instruments. I just lack the ability to process a song lyric, and type my thoughts consistently. Pretty sure it's proven that the human brain can not listen and process 2 separate conversations at the same time. You can switch between each one easily and your brain connects the dots, but you cant simultaneously listen to 2 things.
    Bold part - this part I'm fine with (in my case more so podcasts or studying for a test with computer doing text2speech while I work). To me this is two different processes I can run at the same time.
    I need to stop the podcast though when I go to make/accept a phone call. Even no lyric music I'm stopping for a phone call (if using earbuds). Two of the same process doesn't mix well.

    Suggesting that the lyrics in songs will replace verbal interaction with other humans is... IDK... not something that seems like it would run well.

    If one is on a deserted island, they need to completely move on to a system where they are living and accepting of their current situation.
    There's no point in speaking or making ANY sound any longer.

    Monks do this just fine.
    My lyric-less songs shift me into monk status sooner than others and my zen-shift is going to surely help me outlast the rest of y'all.
    Monks are know for living long boss lives with minimal items... and that's the set-up here!!!
    I agree that using lyrics in songs to try and replicate verbal interaction with another human is a stretch... but I'm also trying to survive with the hope of being rescued. I think adapting best I can while limiting the amount of change to myself is key to my longevity.

    There's plenty point in making sound in my opinion. Axeman33 wants to bring is guitar, as his luxury item, to further connect himself with his selected songs. This is will greatly help his mental health.

    Each person is different though and need to do what's best for them.

    (Assuming things like if I select something like a game system and games like GTA I do not get its play list)
    The idea of narrowing down to just 8 songs is such a daunting task to me...

    I would likely select some songs that are longer in length... just for the illusion of a longer playlist.
    I could see 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light' making the list.
    I'd probably select a song to appeal to different mood states.

    Book: This is Muhammad
    Not that I will read this book, but because it is the largest book in the world weighing in at 1500kg. The book is five meters in length, eight meters in width and consists of 429 pages.
    That's a lot of paper / fire starter!
    Since a luxury item like a fridge that restocks itself is probably out of the question... I'm not going to have time to read, rather get something to help survive.
