#btw the only version of it i've heard before was sung by a woman and a man

Was tagged by the wonderful @lesamis to list five songs i currently listen to, then tag ten more people:

Griftwood by Ghost - I’m obsessed with how it sounds like 80s rock while being released what, last year? Also, apparently it’s about corrupt clergymen, which goes nicely with The Borgias, which I’m currently watching 

Paris by Patrick Wolf - I remembered this song when mentally outlining a fic (yeah, I’m trying to write again, fingers crossed it works out - last time I wrote something was two years ago). It’s unrelated to the story lyrically - as it often happens to me with songs in English, I misremembered/ misinterpreted the lyrics - but I think some of the general mood is seeping into the story

Polo A Tierra by Danna Paola, Skinny Happy, Yera - look, I could’ve made this list just reggaeton from start to finish, because that’s what I mostly listen to these days, but I feel like that would make me looked down on here on tumblr dot com :D Still, had to include at least one for fairness’ sake     

Dragostea Din Tei by Feuerschwanz - I still don’t know how it came to pass that one of my favourite bands of last year looks like a DnD party and makes folk metal covers of pop songs, but these guys rock, and I would love to see them live

Ария Берена (The Aria of Beren) from Lay of Leithian Rock Opera - there’s a new barbershop near my work that is called Beren Barbershop, so naturally I’ve been making jokes about how they need to open a Luthien Beauty Parlor next door, and then I remembered this musical exists (and with English subtitles, btw, if anyone’s interested). This is my favourite song from it - I love how desperate and defiant it sounds, and it’s fun to sing along.
