Hozier album of your choice for the game 💿💿💿

Okay, this was actually SO hard to do

Because at first i wanted to do the self titled one BUT 5 songs from it would mean half of the album so I went with Unreal Unearth (even though my faves from this album keep changing, I need to listen to it mooore)

1. De selby (part 1) - it's a perfect intro song imo, it sets the mood very well, it has Irish, it has a choir, it has a nice transition into part 2, it has everything you need

2. Damage gets done - 💗

3. Son of nyx - okay listen. I'm a sucker for intros, interludes and outros. So I love this one. It brings other songs together beautifully

4. To someone from a warm climate (uiscefhuaraithe) - it's just. His voice is so angelic and the song is simply beautiful. Cried on the first listen.

5. First light - goosebumps.

What Would An Album About You Sound Like?

Disclaimer: This reading is for entertainment purposes only. Tarot readings are about possibilities based on your current energy. Energy is forever changing and nothing is set in stone. Always remember, you have your own free will to make whatever decision you feel is best.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, envision the person you are thinking of and then choose the pile(s) you feel most drawn to.

Pile One

Ahhh okay this is so cute. Im going to try to explain this as best as I can, Pile 1. So this seems like a concept album. The idea of the album (not the sound but idea ya know) reminds me of “Melodrama” by Lorde. I’ll leave a quote here for a better description but it’s like a concept album about a single night

“Melodrama is described as a loose concept album that explores the theme of solitude, in the framework of a single house party with the events and moods that entail it”

The album about you is similar in the sense that it’s a “loose concept album” but it’s about the writer seeing you. It’s like you’re at this party that the songwriter is also at and they’re obsessed from the moment they lay eyes on you. You’re like this beautiful unobtainable being to them and they want to get to know you so bad but they just can’t seem to talk to you. This could also progress to a one night stand that never progresses to more because of a lack of communication to this album is going through the writer meeting you and watching you throughout the night and then goes into their regrets and what they wish they would have said to you the next day, if that makes sense.

They see you at a party and think you’re so beautiful but can’t seem to find the words to tell you that. I keep hearing “I like the way my bedsheets look on your body” from “hello!” By role model. (I believe that’s the right song but lmk if it’s wrong so I can fix it!) and I keep being reminded of this musician on TikTok “Chappell Roan” and their song “Red Wine Supernova” I think that’s similar to what this album would sound like and it also fits the aesthetic. I highly recommend you listen to this song because it fits your album so perfectly. I tried to find a lyric that resonates the best to include but they all work so well that I couldn’t choose.

Despite this entire album being about only you and just one night leading into the next morning, it’s still so diverse (I hope that makes sense) like you’d think there’s only so many songs you could write about a 12ish hour time frame and one person but this writer has endless things to say about you and the night you met them. I could see one song having a feature and it’s later in the album somewhere between tracks 7-12 or so. The aesthetic of the album is very neon lights, the dance floor on prom night after everything has died down and people are starting to go home, slow, melodramatic and just really pretty. Again, I highly recommend you check out “Red Wine Supernova” because it fits so well.

Track list:

1. Pretty

2. Blooming

3. missing you

4. Shinning Eyes

5. Dying Slow

6. Party Streamers

7. Old Fashioned (Feat. Another Artist)

8. Starlight

9. Nova’s Surprise

10. Sunset

11. morning after

12. You

Pile Two

Pile two, your album sounds like one written by Hozier, Noah Kahan or The Lumineers. It reminds me a lot of “Angela” by The Lumineers. Specifically the lyric “Angela, spent your whole life running away” and “vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you” it also reminds me of Ethel Cain in the sense that it’s a concept album about running away and starting a new life (but not as dark as ethel’s and with a much better outcome than she got. I heard “success story” it’s about leaving behind a difficult past and moving forward. There’s hope for the future in these songs, remembrance of the past and healing trauma. It’s a beautiful album with a good balance of different emotions. I could see this album coming with a short film or a series of music videos that piece together to tell a store. Similar to “III” by the Lumineers.

I keep hearing a few snippets from the deluxe version of “Stick Season” (that will be out June 9th 👀) like “Medicate meditate swear your soul to Jesus / Throw a punch fall in love give yourself a reason” or “we ain’t angry at you love, you’re the greatest thing we’ve lost” it’s such a beautiful album with so much soul and emotion.

I could see this album getting an acoustic live version that artists do sometimes like “Album, live from Wherever” you know? This album has very unique and catchy lyrics that stick with people, the type of lyrics people take and sell on things in their Etsy shop or use as a quote in their yearbook or put in their instagram bio. It almost feels like poetry. I also heard “escapism” this is the type of music that paints a picture and takes you somewhere else. This album will kind of chronologically tell a story about you moving forward and healing from trauma and finding a peaceful ending. Ending with a song like “Angelia”

13. at last

Pile Three

I feel like this album has a soft rock sort of sound? Like hozier with a rockier edge if that makes sense? It reminds me of the way hozier sings about love. He sings about a very deep and impactful love and his writing his like poetry and I think that’s what an album about you would sound like. I think this album could be about the writer/musician fighting feelings for you because they’re focused on career or are just concerned about the outcome of the relationship. They might have a fear of falling or something.

However, the last card I pulled was the 10 of cups so the outcome is very good. I feel like this album is coming from a reflective place like this is after yourself and your spouse have settled down and had kids or pets or whatever you would like and your partner is looking back at your relationship from the very beginning up until now and writing about it.

I keep hearing “I’m in love with an emo girl” I don’t think this is what the album will sound like but maybe that’s your aesthetic/vibe? This might just be conformation for you. I also keep hearing that Shania Twain song “you’re still the one” this is the kind of album that fans would dissect like narrow down the time you met your person and talk about every lyric and how that lyric relates to you and your relationship etc. this album talks about how devoted and in love with you your person is but also talks about the (I heard “trials and tribulations”) it took for you two to get there so it may include religious reference. Like religion by Lana Del Rey or Don’t Blame Me by Taylor Swift where there’s this slight aspect of religion/devotion to your partner.

You hear a lot about how you have to actively choose your partner everyday to make a long term relationship work and this album would definitely delve into that a little. It could also be produced by you and your partner’s mutual friends or people who have been there since the beginning or very early in in your relationship. I think this would be a longer album and there’s definitely 18+ songs on there 👀

1. October

[posallys]

taylor hi! 💙 bc i’m curious, what are your favorite 5 songs on each hozier album? (and bonus if u feel like it: 5 favorite non-standard-album releases?)

AHHH okay this is HARD man okay. From hozier, it will come back OBVIOUSLY, cherry wine bc it is just. So gut wrenchingly beautiful and sad and. Yeah. Work song....no grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her what if I SCREAM....this is so difficult ummm I love all of them. Maybe in a week it's just SOOO!!! And if you MUST make me choose. Run? I cannot pick a debut album has NO RIGHT to be this good

Frome wasteland, baby! It's gotta be almost (sweet music)...im almost me again she's almost you SHUT UP....Moment's Silence (Common tongue) I think only hozier could write a song about a blow job and actually get me to like it LMFAO. Shrike my beloved. NFWMB is also CRAZY if I was born as a black thorn tree I'd want to be felled by you held by you fuel the pyre of your enemies OKAY. Fuck shit i only have one more. All of them. But also wasteland baby itself has a special place in my heart. This is so difficult

Unreal unearth: FRANCESCA oh god that song is SO...even tho it hurt I'd do it again and again and again SOMWBODY SEDATE ME!!! And first time 😭😭 the first time...each time...the final time SHUT UP!! Unknown/nth is also so good. Butchered tongue is again heartbreaking but so beautiful HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK JUST ONE MORE OKAY maybe all things end??? Most difficult lists I've ever had to make tbh

I totally already mentioned some non standard releases but honorable mentions are: the parting glass, through me (the flood), swan upon Leda.

Please never make me choose again he doesn't have a song that I consistently skip. Most artists have multiple songs that I simply cannot stand and on rare occasion I am simply not in the mood for a specific hozier song but. 99% of the time I just put his discography on shuffle and let it go he has no bad songs!!! And the political aspects of many of them I need to rip my hair out nobody does music like he does he uses it in a way people just stopped doing

[m-arahuyo]

getting to know me

been dead here a while so i suppose this is as good a come back as any HEY ERRBODY i live

also thanks to the lovely @sp4cedr4g0n for tagging me here

last song: abstract (psychopomp) by hozier, been listening to it at least a couple times a day every day since last week. this man really be out for blood with this entire album

before abstract, it was DO YOU KNOW I COULD BREAK BENEATH THE WEIGHT unknown/nth, but i got that out of my head soon as i was able to write smth for it so,,,

favorite color: way too difficult to choose between cyan and pink so i'm saying both, don't touch me

currently watching: JENNA MARBLES. the serotonin from watching her put on a fake beard and turn herself into a chair is just,,, [chef's kiss]. i miss her dearly

annnnd are yall ready for some true crime bec i also just started till murder do us part

last movie/show: i (re)watched gone girl last weekend with my brother while drunk and we were both still,,, awestruck at the carefully crafted diabolicalness. mother

spicy/savory/sweet: all three is fine right

relationship status: been single for bout 2 years now

current obsession: SONG SO MI SONG SO MI SONG SO MI S O N G B I R D im gon go feral I WILL PROTECT HER W MY LIFE

last google search: "iska movie" bec while it was a movie released in 2019, saw it getting a lot of flak online (locally) lately and wanted to see what it was all about. general consensus is that it's poverty porn and just pointlessly upsetting so,,, am i still gon see it for myself? probably

and now for the tagging god i am terrified of bothering people but here are both pallies (im sorta back hi) and mutuals i jus wanna be more of pallies w, no pressure to anybody tho!! u dont need to answer, could jus think of this as a gud gud poke that someone thought abt u

@ossifer-bones @nanocupcakes @lostchips @amaltheaz @xanmemes

some of yall followed me for the fics i am so sorry for disappearing into the void, much love tho

[legiterallylunar]

i am a normie hozier listener who only knows too sweet and take me to church. do you have any recommendations?

oh my god anon im kissing you on the lips you don't know what this question has done to my ego. you're probably going to regret asking.

im going to try make a list of like. three or four songs from each album (special editions) but also ... my real reccommendation is to listen to every single album on repeat for a month. with that said. let me compile you a list of my favs (this is so unbelievably difficult i can't choose favourites so please please please listen to the entire albums) (these favs are in order of where they appear on the album they are not ranked by order of preference) hozier fans feel free to rb and add your own favs!!! anyway big nerd fixation rant incoming under the cut. have fun!!!!!

HOZIER (self titled album)

- angel of small death and the codeine scene

- sedated OR work song

- like real people do

- arsonist's lullaby OR cherry wine

sorry ik that was six but i can't help myself LOL the entire album plus the extras are so delicious

WASTELAND, BABY! (oh my god i cannot recommend this album enough it's genuinely the most gorgeous piece of art to have ever crossed my ears listen to all of it immediately)

- movement

- no plan

- shrike OR talk OR be (i can't listen to one of these without the other two that's why they're all together)

- sunlight OR wasteland, baby!

but also the extras for this album are the most heavenly songs ever so i need you to also listen to why would you be loved, NFWMB and also moment's silence (common tongue)

UNREAL UNEARTH

- first time

- i, carrion (icarian)

- damage gets done OR who we are (these two are also joined together in my head)

- abstract (psychopomp) OR first light

but again all the songs on this album are gorgeous and it's so so difficult to choose any favourites. also the unheard songs are really good listen to empire now and also wildflower and barley and also fare well

EXTRA SONGS!!! (not on albums)

- jackboot jump is a really great song that is unfortunately very overlooked because it's not on any of his albums and there isn't a studio version

- blood upon the snow BANGS and it's so good even though it was made for the God of War video game

- swan upon leda and through me (the flood) are technically extras from unreal unearth but i'm counting them as separate because i want you to listen to them both LOL

- better love from the legend of tarzan soundtrack is an absolute gem and is so so so so good.

- also all of his covers of other songs are excellent. so. go listen to those

HAVE FUN i know this took forever to read but honestly i can't stress enough how much the entire albums are worth listening to outside of just specific songs. they're so well crafted and andrews voice is just so breathtaking and powerful ARGHH i'm insane. anyway listen to his entire discography the man never misses

[ramonaflow]

Hiiiii, love! 💘💘💘💘💘

Coming to you with some sleepover questions!

Okay, here goes!

First you get to rate hot or not, six men I, personally, find hot.

Hot or Not:

Rahul Kohli

Aldis Hodge

Riz Ahmed

Tom Hardy

Harry Shum Jr

Daniel Kaluuya

Then six latest People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive winners.

Hot or Not:

Patrick Dempsey

Chris Evans

Paul Rudd

Michael B Jordan

John Legend

Idris Elba

Very random FMK:

Sarah Snook

Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Rhian Teasdale

If you won the lottery, would you spend the money on a trip around the world or on a luxury house, cars, clothes, jewelry etc.? You can't have both. You need to choose either or. So if you choose the trip, you'd come back from it to the same exact existence you're living now.

Top three songs released in 2023?

OR

Top three albums released in 2023?

Hiya beautiful ❤️

These hot or nots are hard because I think they're all good looking but I don't know if they're hot, you know?

Let's see

Rahul Kohli - Hot

Aldis Hodge - Hot

Riz Ahmed - Obviously Hot but specially with bleached hair 🔥

Tom Hardy - Sometimes Hot

Harry Shum jr - Sometimes Hot

Daniel Kaluuya - Not

Patrick Dempsey - Not

Chris Evans - Hot when he has a beard

Paul Rudd - Not. He is cute though

Michael B Jordan - Hot

John Legend - Not

Idris Elba - Hot

For FMK. This is pretty mean of you to be honest 🤣😭

Kill Rhian because she's so hot, obviously, but she's a bit young for me lol.

Fuck Mary.

I would marry Sarah because she's gorgeous, and hot and seems super nice. And I would take her surname because then I'd be called Sara Snook and I think it's funny 🤣

If I won the lottery, as much as I would love a trip around the world, I would have to pick the house and stuff. I would love to be able to move away from where I live now.

The last questions are both difficult because I'm very set in my ways with music and I don't listen to a lot of new stuff.

I've just gone through a list of every album released and Hozier is the only one I've listened to enough to describe as a top album.

Unreal unearth - Hozier

Thank you for asking ❤️🥰

[umazane-muesli]

2, 9, 23 💐

2. Album of the year?

I don't know if this is supposed to be about albums that came out this year or simply that I discovered this year, but I'm sure I don't need to convince anyone here to listen to Umazane misli or Demoni or whatever, so I'm going to interpret it as the former and say Unreal Unearth by Hozier and Pokaz slajdów by Kwiat Jabłoni for 2023 albums :) (yes sorry I am physically unable to choose only one of anything ever)

9. Best month for you this year?

Ngl I had a quite spectacularly shitty year on a personal level. But I just went to Germany to see my sister and to attend the best concert I've ever been to so even though the month is not over I am going to say December. Also it's good to have hope I guess, the year can still get better.

23. If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

Oh god, introspection, just the thing I excel at 👍 uuuuh "strap yourself in it's gonna be difficult" I guess?? Idk (just to clarify i'm not mad at the question, just ✨️bad at expressing emotions✨️)

Thank you for the ask! 🌻

[here-there-everyfuckenwhere]

i’m about to go to sleep but i wanted to ask you: what are your 5 desert island albums. only music you can ever listen to again, so choose wisely!!

Oof, very difficult but very good question! This is hard cause I have so many albums that I can listen to over and over again in short burts, but if it's for the rest of my life I'd probably still get bored of them eventually lmao

But first and foremost probably Danger Days by My Chemical Romance. It is kinda impossible to choose just one MCR album but definitely need some MCR to get me through it. I think Danger Days is probably the one I listen to the most so we'll go with that.

Then probably Folie a Duex by Fall Out Boy. Again, it is literally impossible to pick just one Fall Out Boy album but Folie a Deux is probably my favourite.

Then most likely Dookie by Green Day. I was tossing up so hard over either Dookie or American Idiot but I think I'm settling on this answer. This album was my shit in high school.

I'm now tossing up between three albums but I think next I would take Hozier (2014). I have only recently started listening to Hozier but already I have a feeling that if I was stranded on a desert island I would need to take this album with me.

After much careful deliberation, I have decided on one final album to take with me; What's the Story Morning Glory? by Oasis. It's one of my favourite albums of all time and I feel like if i didn't take it with me I would miss it too much. Also it is long so it would keep me entertained for a while.

Honourable mentions because I love bending the rules of ask games include; Pretty. Odd by Panic! at the Disco, Abbey Road by The Beatles, Go Farther in Lightness by Gang of Youths, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance and Hesitant Alien by Gerard Way

[justremuslupininamask]

🎶✨️when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers/mutuals (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️

It is so difficult to choose 5 from my terribly long list of fav songs, so I’m just gonna list my most recent stim songs

1. Eat your Young ~ Hozier

2. Drunk ~ The Living Tombstone

3. Pomegranate Seeds ~ Julian Moon

4. The Cult of Dionysus ~ The Orion Experience

5. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy ~ Queen

(Honourable mentions- Everyday, Bohemian Rhapsody, London/American Boy, the whole unreal earth album, all cavetown songs)

[sunflowersometimes]

hello! the amazing @callouiee tagged me in their post spelling their url with songs they like for me to do the same if i wanted and i thought it would be fun! they made theirs l&h/larrie related but i have such a long url that i think I’m going to use my favorite songs as well! this will also give me an excuse to gush about some of my fav songs

so i wrote the above paragraph and then tried to find and narrow down songs which proved to be very difficult lol. i probably made it harder on myself than needed bc i wanted to choose best and most perfect songs but there are just too many. this is the best list i could come up with, but i feel pretty good with it! if anyone ever wants to talk music, i’m so down i have so many favorites.

p.s. i really truly did gush about every song i’m so sorry for how long this is

s- Satellite (Harry Styles) this song is my baby. i love her with every fiber of my being. i have dance parties by myself in my apartment when this song comes on i literally can’t get enough of it. i honestly thought matilda would be my fav song off harry’s house cause like... it’s matilda, but this is the song i come back to most often from that album.

u- U.N.I (Ed Sheeran) okay so i have so many distinct memories listening to this song on the bus to/from middle school. anything from ed’s + album was my favorite. his stuff from that time used to be my favorite music along with 1D. i thought i was so cool when i memorized the rap part lol

n- No Children (The Mountain Goats) i will admit i did find this song through the tiktok trend but i absolutely loved that trend, i thought it was so cute. i listened to the full song shortly after discovering the song and it shortly became my second most listened to song of last year. w/o getting into too much detail, this song holds a special place in my therapy journey lol 

f- Fine Line (Harry Styles) what is there to say about her? she probably holds the biggest spot in music related to my healing journey. i fully annotated her once through the lens of my own therapy and healing journey. she means a lot a lot to me

l- Like Real People Do (Hozier) i am a hozier slut and i’m not afraid to admit it. i love anything this man puts out. sometimes i listen to his music like i’m a thirsty begger and his music is the only water that’s been offered to me in weeks. i could have put any of his songs on this list and you would have gotten the same reaction out of me. he makes me feel feral and ethereal at the same time.

o- Outer Space/Carry on (5SOS) god this song will never not get me. this song was my fine line of my middle school/high school years. if i ever see this song live i’m pretty sure i’ll die on the spot. i have a half-ish sleeve tattoo planned around this song. there’s like five songs on this list that i have tattoos planned around but none of them as big as this one. everything about this song is just perfect.

w- Written All Over Your Face (Louis Tomlinson) do i even need to say anything about this one? it’s been on repeat since the album came out. it’s literally so good and i know it’s everyone’s favorite but it’s for a damn good reason. have you heard louis’ voice?????? literally perfection absolute bop and i can’t stop listening to it. this is louis’ sound and i’m so proud of him

e- Emotions (5SOS) any time i make a new playlist of things i’m currently listening to to have one shuffle/repeat, i put this entire album on there. i feel like the more i listen to it, the more addicted i get. also, Liz told me this song was very me codded and i feel like that’s so true. i’m always in my emotions lol. also also, that little clap/slap that happens every so often in this song gives me an unnecessary amount of serotonin. 

r- Right Now (1D) i also could have put any one direction song on this list but there’s something about this song that has always had a grip on my brain. immediate performance mode whenever this song comes on. they’re my boys. my babies. i’ve been a fan for a decade now which is absolutely wild. i miss them

s- Spaces (1D) this might have to be in my top 5 favorite one d songs. i don’t know if i even have an actual top 5 but if i did, this song would be in it. i feel like i’m ascending whenever i listen to this song; it’s similar vibes to satellite in dance party mode for me if that makes sense lol i can’t help but move whenever i hear this song

o- Only the Brave (Louis Tomlinson) again, does this need any explanation? there was a while when i couldn’t listen to this song bc it hurt my closeted heart too much. it still makes me sad but also very optimistic. i hope i can hear this song live one day surrounded by fellows queers who’ve also found their family through the boys. it doesn’t make it a solo song anymore then does it? we’re a family; more of a family than any church i’ve been a part of. 

m- Mum (Luke Hemmings) another album where i could put literally any song on this list bc i love them all so much. this song, however, beats the others out ever so slightly as being my favorite. i’m noticing a pattern with my favorite songs: satellite, spaces, mum. they all have a really big build up to an absolute cathartic release later on in the song. mum does give me church song vibes but in the least song ruining way possible. this song actually inspired me to make a playlist of songs that make me feel like im ascending whenever i listen to them

e- Egg and Soldier (Cosmo Sheldrake) okay okay okay i know you’re thinking that this song came super duper out of left field and is really weird and i definitely agree but here me out. all of his songs are super fun and kinda weird but so so cool and unique and unpredictable. i have yet to come across a song of his i don’t love. they all make me feel so connected to my inner child/the creativity i pushed away for so long.

t- To Be Alone (Hozier) again, i’m a hozier slut. this might be my favorite song of his but i’m unsure if i can even pick a favorite hozier song. that slide on ‘feeeeeels good’ gets me every single time. i’m weak in the knees i’m obsessed. the grungy, dirty electric guitar???? i can’t it’s too much 

i- If I Could Fly (One Direction) i couldn’t not add this one. it’s iconic and makes me cry maybe half of the time i listen. who let them write, record, and release this song? it’s literally so raw and vulnerable and i know i’ve written some pretty raw poetry but i don’t think i’ve ever written anything on this level. like ?????? i forget this song is a real song they released and not something a fanfic writer made up

m- Matter of Time (Ashton Irwin) god this album destroys me in the best way possible. and this song???? literally speaks to me and my soul. this is another one i want to get a tattoo of. it’s just like a warm hug from an older sibling/older friend. everything’s gonna be okay bud

e- evermore (Taylor Swift) I do love me some good taylor swift, especially folklore and evermore. i don’t think this one is my favorite, that’s probably the lakes, but i do remember hearing it for the first time and absolutely loosing it at the word switch at the end of the song. it still holds a special place in my heart for the hopefulness it’s able to give me whenever i don’t have a lot of it.

s- Sunflower Vol. 6 (Harry Styles) and we’re ending on the song that i wish i could be. if i could have the vibes of any song it would be this one. i’m one of those obnoxious people that make sunflowers their whole personality and whenever harry released this song i went feral for it. i love her so much and i hope i grow up and make her proud.

okay now that i’ve written more than anyone wanted to read, i want to tag some recent mutuals to do this too! Obviously there’s no pressure to do this or to write as much as i did, simply just putting a song is enough lol

4. top song i cannot choose an all-time favourite song so i’m just gonna expose myself with my most listened-to song of all time, which is. uh. um. dna by bts….. ahem anyways. the madness of the kpop days is long past. my most listened non-kpop song is dress by taylor swift somehow?? yeah ok :D

Thanks to @sublimegentlemanalpaca for the tag on this most difficult of games... I can't choose a favorite anything to save my life! Also I don't listen to a lot of albums, or I just have a few favorite songs rather than liking an album as a whole. That being said:

Top 5 favorite albums (in no particular order)

Soundtrack of Om Shanti Om (fave song: Dastaan - E)

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Panic! At The Disco (fave song: There's A Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Figured It Out Yet)

Wings - BTS (fave song: Blood Sweat and Tears)

Hozier - Hozier (fave song: From Eden)

Evermore - Taylor Swift (fave song: Champagne Problems)

Tagging @miriagreyhaven @mahouwl @joespoopy @ieroqueer @plantpalfynn @freesoulpatrol @xx---locketdragon---xx and anyone else who wants to give it a shot! (The fave song wasn't part of the original game I just thought I'd share)

Post your favorite album by 8 artists you like and your favorite song from the album…

So, my precious darling @bangchanah tagged me (thanks dear!) in this Tag game and I‘m gonna have so much fun with this, so here we go!

1. BTS - Map of the Soul

Obviously, THE Album which earned the title of keeping me sane during the pandemic. I started stanning BTS in march 2020 and it changed my life ever since. My favourite song of the album is a really difficult question, but I‘m gonna go with Black Swan because I remember it so vividly as the first MV which really took me in and made me decide to watch more of them. Black Swan has a really special place in my heart.

2. Halsey - Badlands

Listen, this album changed me as a person. I discovered it in 2017 and it. changed. me. The lyrics haunts me til this day, especially the bridge of Colors. So it’s no question, that Colors is also my favourite song of the album. And this will never change.

3. Florence + The Machine - Ceremonials

I listen to this album every day since a decade. I made great memories of two concerts of Florence which were so dear to me and one of the most important people in my life. To choose my favourite song of the album is a really difficult, but I choose "No Light, No Light". But EVERY SINGLE ONE IS A MASTERPIECE.

4. Taylor Swift - Folklore

Taylor Swift has a huge place in my heart ever since my teenage days. I share many Memories with different people just because of her music - screaming Blank Space with a very dear friend of mine in a karaoke bar, crying at the "1989" Tour as she performed "Clean", a full packed car of people which sung "Me!“. But Folklore hit me like a truck. I remember clearly getting the notification of this album dropping during one of my workouts in the high phase of the lockdown, which made scream of excitement and my mother running to me because she thought I hurt myself. Now it’s my favourite album to listen to in a quiet, calm time. My favourite song is impossible to chose but I go with "The Last American dynasty" just be because of the lyrics "She had a marvellous time ruining everything." It changed my worldview. No lie.

5. Hozier - Wasteland, Baby!

Andrew writes the most tragic, haunting, wonderful lyrics. I had so many analytical discussions with my friends, where we talked about the mythology, the emotions, the genius of his choice of words. I go with "Shrike" as my favourite because… reasons. The whole thing is a masterpiece. I can’t choose!

6. TXT - The Dream Chapter: Eternity

TXT is one of my all time favourite K-Pop Bands. I remember clearly how "Eternally“, the 20-min. MV and the sudden Mood Change SHOCKED me as I first listened to them and the boys even made me love them more with every release. I just love them. I love every song. End.

7. Chase Atlantic- Chase Atlantic

A friend of mine introduced me to this totally underrated band last year and ever since they didn’t let me go. I turned 23 this year during a really, really difficult time and the song "23" reflected my depression during this time really well. I basically balled my eyes out listening to this song and "uncomfortable". These songs mean a lot to me. Until now they were basically my secret. But I can’t make this list without including them.

8. Bastille - Doom Days

With Bastille I share nearly as much memories as with Florence- a concert, many discussions. They ever been a favourite of mine and they are criminally underrated. "Million Pieces" will always be the number one song of this album for me. In both the official and the orchestra version. It’s perfection.

Sooo, here we are! I had much fun thinking about the albums, which shaped me. I tag @vive-lanuit and @starcatching. No pressure, if you don’t want to do it!

Desert Island Discs

New tag game! I say new: it must have been done before, but I haven’t seen it yet, so here goes.

You’re stranded on a desert island, but you can pick eight recordings, a book and a luxury item to have with you. You get the complete works of Shakespeare and the Bible/other appropriate religious or philosophical book as a ‘freebie’. The luxury item must be inanimate and of no use in escaping the island or allowing communication from outside. What do you take? Say as much or as little as you like about why you made those picks

Thank you for tagging me in this nightmare game @jamilas-pen and @a-noble-dragon @mammameesh and @flowertrigger ❤️🥰

I actually misread it at first and it was hard enough trying to only think of 8 albums. Now I've realised it's songs I don't know how I'm supposed to choose!

Recordings

1. Runaway by Noah Reid. You have no idea how tempted I was to just name 8 NR songs. The accordion wins though.

2. Grace by Jeff Buckley. He has one of the most gorgeous, dreamy voices and it's one of my very favourite songs.

3. Movement by Hozier. This was so difficult because I love every single song by him.

4. Brick by Ben Folds Five. In case I want to get emotional.

5. Living is a problem because everything dies by Biffy Clyro. I have lots of happy memories around this song.

6. The end by The Doors. It's just one of their best.

7. Wet dream by Wet Leg. Something fun to sing along with.

8. Avalanche by Leonard Cohen. I get butterflies every time I listen to it. I love it.

Book

I'd bring Death Note (all in one edition) because my brother bought me it and keeps asking if I've read it yet but it's 2400 pages. I'd have plenty of time to actually read it

Luxury Item

A hot water bottle. I can't live without my heat pad for a number of reasons but with no electricity I'd have to make do.
