#also fair warning Sunshine by Bent Knee might be the single scariest song I've ever heard

[wheatbeats]

Hi. I am here from the rec you put on xekstrin’s blog. So since you asked please talk about your favorite songs (because i am very much into the tenderness + vulnerability + fucked up things)

Anon I'm kissing you on the mouth.

I would like to start with full disclosure that my favorite songs range from this emotional world of vulnerability and pain to a guy shouting "you're stupid!" for 3 minutes over ska horns. I will add further disclosure that I'm a music guy before I'm a lyrics guy. With that in mind, let me present a handful of songs from this vague songwriting genre I like to call: "I love you but watch out."
