for the longest time i just couldnāt stand robert smithās voice. but then i was trying to impress this girl and she made me a list of her fav songs of theirs and i listened to it on repeat to have my opinions so i could speak to her. she is now just another regular story liker and i, a fan of the cure.
i aim to be as contrarian as possible when it comes to men-music (i do not enjoy sharing interests with that of men. sue me.) and have gone most of my life without hearing a single song from any of the "classic" bands. last week while biking i gave in to spotify's recommendations and heard this song for the first time, come to find out its one of the cure's most popular songs of all time š¤£š¤£. but wowwwwwwwwwwww. life changed. brain re-wired. ailments healed. needless to say i am obsessed. and just like that........... i have started to broaden my spotify horizons (1/10th of the music in my library is now allowed to be occupied by men).
this series is never going to end -āManchildā by Sabrina CarpenterĀ
this song is so condescending of himbos and i think itās the funniest thing. its so catchy and i love it! the chorus is- i canāt think of any other word to describe it other than adorable⦠which⦠is not the right word, but i love sabrina carpenter and her vibe. her breathy vocals are just everything this song needs. like her sounding so cutesy while insulting her ex-lovers is so funny.
and the music video is absurdist western nonsense and itās amazing. -āDiscoā by Surf Curse
this is what being head over heels sounds like. the compassionate love oozing from this song is everything. and theres something about the way the singer sounds and the distortion or whatever put over his voice that makes everything hit so much harder.
indie rock love songs are my weakness (if anyone has anything like this, PLEASE SHARE) -āIn Heavenā fromĀ Eraserhead
so iām not willingly listening to this song, but itās unfortunately been stuck in my head. itās so damn creepy, i hate it. but i also love it. being from a dream sequence movie that relies heavily on the soundtrack and sound design, this song is perfect. David Lynch knew what he wanted for this song and he made it happen.Ā -āTake Fiveā by Paul Desmond / The Dave Brubeck Quartet
thereās a reason this song is a jazz standard. just something about a silly time signature, a solo saxophone, a two chord syncopated vamp, and the drums chilling on the (ride?) cymbalĀ
and this song is kinda special to me as itās one of the first songs that really got me into jazz. and my schoolās jazz band almost played it but our director thought it was too difficult and we didnāt have the time to learn it. iām still pretty salty about that :( -āgood 4 uā by Olivia Rodrigo
bandle in 5 on this one. and honestly thatās how i remembered this song existed and found out i actually love it lol. the genre hint was pop punk and im like āolivia rodrigoās pop punk?ā and then i put this on and im like āhell yeah she isāĀ
i hate that i can almost relate to the lyrics too. iām going through that canon event in a girls life of that guy sheās never dated. and i used to see him everyday in school and we talked, kinda. but now that schools done, now what? and i really like him and tried to put effort into our relationship, even just as friends. but heās barely trying, and still has the gall to call me a dear friend and ask what im doing FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE. ok rant over. š
you will find me head banging over this song and you cannot stop me.Ā
crush texted me and i said hell yeah nigga we up really loud and i saw my supervisor look very taken aback but i luckily have my camera off so iām gonna lie and blame my brother
