Truly annoying when most of a song fits Things and Situations perfectly but there's one line or verse that just throws the entire thing off. How dare.

I was tagged by @dymme thank you so much <3

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most! Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

I

I must say I do not have the energy right now, so please please please (!!!) if you see this and you want to, feel tagged! Yes, you. Feel tagged and tell me what beautiful things you are listening to!!

Also @fireheartedpup. I am sorry but I am really curious.

Really entertained by the fact that I listened to @vastwinterskies' Hornblower playlist enough that the bands on it are now giving me early access to concert tickets

Not exactly a bad discovery. But one of my oc’s fits shockingly well with a my little pony song

My YouTube Music Recap

[post-punk-revival]

It's getting to that time of year again... Spotify users who do you think your top 5 artists are gonna be

[galen-the-technomage]

I was thinking about all the songs that my brain constantly piped at me so I decided to make a brain wrapped(tm) of the top five based on frequency and intensity (based on unreliable memory).

5. Hopelessly Unholy (Orchestral Version) by Kite. this appeared late in the year and it was already a song I liked (both versions) but suddenly my brain was reeeeally pushing it on me. I get a lot of Kite in my head because I really really like 'em.

4. Seltenen Erden by Sturm Café. my brain loves a bouncy synth. only this low because it's also a late entry but it was played VERY intensely even if I don't know many of the words (which is probably why the end gets played more).

3. Bend My Body Armour by A Split-Second. I don't know what these lyrics mean but boy is it catchy. please know I'm also thinking about the linked video clip a lot too. Marc Ickx still has these exact moves several decades later.

2. Slice Me Nice by Fancy. this song is summoned randomly and when I see or hear the word 'slice'. 'I'm like a cake that wants to be baked / I'm like a pie made for hungry guys' is unbeatable. I listen to italo disco now and then but Tobias Bernstrup also released a remix this year.

1.The Garden by Einstürzende Neubauten. this started very early in the year when I was listening to a bunch of EN and similar and looped for many many months so it takes top spot.

0,001% just sedate me honestly

feeling nostalgic and watching utube reactors discover classic songs and then feeling both old and incredulous

Today I sat in an Asian food buffet restaurant across the table from two of my coworkers (we were technically at work) and almost cried over the lyric analysis that I was writing on my phone for "Rain Dance" by Big Country.

[obstinaterixatrix]

my memory’s pretty spotty but surprisingly I remember a fair amount of lyrics from a song I haven’t listened to since… at minimum 7 years

raphael battle may suck and i may be underleveled for it but god they werent lying when they said this boss music slapped

We have our final PPC mashup, which I selected to get the full song treatment over DDLM because it had the most compatible structure of all five choices. No transition measures, a clean 32 measures from beginning of verse to end of chorus. Unfortunately I just didn't take into account the base key, requiring much more vocal pitch shifting than the others.

The bridge being short two measures was also """fun""" to wrangle. However, that janky transition you hear does highlight something that Chappell did to express the lyrical narrative through vocal technique. The start of the pre-chorus (or first part of the chorus, depending on how you label it) which centers on her mother's point of view is sung in a falsetto, but when Chappell makes her response, she switches to a head voice/belt, which reads as a "clearer" version of her voice, signaling how this is truer to herself. (It's where she belongs!)

You can hear here how stark the contrast is, since those missing two measures covered the shift, so instead we're dunked from the falsetto into the head voice.
