#literal lyrical geniuses

when taylor swift said "you can aim for my heart go for blood, but you would still miss me in your bones" and when amy shark said "there's not a bone in my body that's not weak for you"

[chrxsprettygirl]

I want to cry so bad rn

HOW TF DID BILLIE EILLISH NOT WIN ATLEATST ONE FUCKING GRAMMY? HOW TF BEYONCÉ EVEN GET NOMINATED? Hit me hard and soft dropped May 17 and since then Billie has been the number one artist in the world. IM THE FUCKING WORLD. She literally knocked Taylor swift from that spot in weeks.

Hit me hard and soft has over 5 billion streams worldwide

Cowboy Carter has 2 billion.

Be so beyond for real. Hmhas is a mix of a bunch of different genres, songs abt her past trauma, it literally changed people’s lives. Cowboy Carter is just a bunch of country music that sounds the same.

Im not going to lie when I say Beyoncé did not deserve that Grammy, I don’t care how many years she’s been in the industry. Billie and Finneas are literally lyrical geniuses, their work has meaning behind it, it’s helped so many people and myself with their mental health and just life in general. She was robbed, and the way the camera panned to her every time she lost, they knew what they were doing. Her crying absolutely broke my heart. Hmhas is the album she’s the most proud of, she worked so hard on it just for that?

I can’t name you one song on Cowboy Carter. I can’t name you one song on that album that went crazy with streams. Hit me hard and soft all of those songs went viral. Every.Single.One. And I don’t wan hear the “She has 2 Oscar’s and 9 Grammys she’ll be fine” bullshit SHE DESERVED THAT GRAMMY.

The Grammys is a fucking joke

Edit: I apologize abt the way I expressed my frustration towards the situation, im not md that she FINALLY won a Grammy, no that was long overdue, I just think with the albums it was up against it didn’t make sense. I mean we had Cynthia Erivo (idk if u count the wicked soundtrack as an album but I do) , Ariana Grande, Kalii uches, future, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, J Cole, SZA, Clairo, Don toliver, Tyler the creator, Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter. Its not a bias thing or racist or anything, im just saying IN MY OPINION they’re are a lot of other albums that deserved it over Cowboy Carter. Hell if she had won for Renaissance I wouldn’t even be mad so if u think I’m just hating on Beyoncé I’m not. And if u disagree that’s fine, just don’t come in my dms or comments calling me names and shit. I agree I went abt it the wrong way, and I sincerely apologize for that but im not going to apologize for saying my opinion. Im not going to delete a post bc y’all are mad fuck no.

If you’re mad. Scroll.

[dance-like-an-idiot]

i just realized that, besides the literal sense, the baseball game is an extended metaphor for whizzer and marvin's relationship

heres some lyrics that seem Very Different if you think about them detached from the physical game and more so the game of love:

SPECATORS: we're watching jewish boys, who cannot play baseball play–

MARVIN: i hate baseball i really do, unlike the rest of you, i hate baseball

CHARLOTTE AND CORDELIA: we really wish he'd take this more seriously!

MENDEL: it's weird how he swings the bat!

MARVIN: it's weird how he swings the bat. and why does he have to throw like that?

do you See It.

jewish boys who can't play the game (whizzvin), marvin hating the game unlike everyone else (the game is falling in love im pretty sure), the lesbians trying to get him invested, it's weird how he swings (romantically), and marvin being upset he (generally men i assume) throws (himself out there)

the last two are stretches But Not By Much !!!!

i wont go through the entire song but almost all of it (whizzer and marvins banter doesn't seem to be a part of the metaphor) can be connected back to playing the game

and may i add whizzer's batting advice is actually good advice for shooting your shot and in the obc marvin keeps "his eye on the ball" the whole time while asking whizzer out (cause everyone heard his advice)

more lines directly from the book this time (jason should be taken as whizzvin during this, assuming its because they're both childish and so is love):

theres too much in that screenshot to go over it all but its the dangers of getting into (their) love, whizzvin fumbling this chance, and eventually the "anythings possible" of marvin offering and whizzer accepting

also i never knew mendel catches it thats silly (i don't know what thats supposed to mean but it Means Something)

anyways william finn and james lapine why are you geniuses Why you are making me insane Why Why Why!!

[crazypenguinlad1017]

I just really need to rant about Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong right now. I know that so many fans feel so deeply connected to their music, and I'm not the only one. But I'm gonna go ahead and say my piece. So many of their songs just punch me in the gut, stab me twisting the knife, like wtf. That's just by the feeling of the music, with all the instruments, who knew fucking power chords held so much emotions, its insane. Then come the lyrics, I love it how Billie Joe just says such honest things, even if it's through metaphor, it just feels so real and like what I'm going through. A lot of songs I find are very cringey in the way they speak about mental health, but not with Green Day. Fucking blows my mind. Geniuses. This rant was sparked by me listening to the demo of Just Another Year on repeat. The Death of St. Jimmy was brutal before, now its so much more brutal and I want to, and have sobbed. What the hell is wrong with me? These songs make me feel so deeply. Even ones that I have no connection to lyrically I feel so much. Even Macy's Day Parade, which is about consumers or something like that, makes me want to sob. At the Library makes me want to sob. Pulling Teeth makes me want to sob. Brutal love, I could go on, maybe I should make a list. Hmmmmmm.

Sure, I'll do a list of all the songs that make me want to cry sometimes or always in my playlist order: At the Library, One For the Razorbacks, 80, No One Knows, Pulling Teeth, She, Armatage Shanks, Stuck With Me, 86, Panic Song, Redundant, Scattered, Worry Rock, Walking Alone, Hold On, Macy's Day Parade, J.A.R, Rotting, Just Another Year, Lowlife, Jesus of Suburbia, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Letterbomb, Homecoming, Whatsername, 21st Century Breakdown, Before the Lobotomy, Last Night on Earth, Last of the American Girls, Murder City, See the Light, When It's Time, Brutal Love, X-Kid, The Forgotten, Somewhere Now, Outlaws, Still Breathing, Forever Now, Dilemma, Goodnight Adeline, Fancy Sauce

Jeez, that took a while ngl. Anyway, my point is that their music hits me like nothing has hit me before. It's like my heart is being kept safe with them because they understand my emotions, even though they dont know I exist at all. I know that might sound a bit extreme, but I'm not the only one who feels like this, right? I'm completely aware that there is more to life than Green Day, but sometimes it's all I need to get by I guess. I hope they understand how much of an impact their music has on people, I mean, if they did, it would probably be overwhelming, so idk. They literally taught me how to live just another year. So crazy, humans are so fucking weird and complex lmao. Stay safe and talk to people if you feel able! Or just listen to Green Day or whatever music you feel connected to. Just take care of yourself is what I'm really trying to say:):)

The Loneliness Of The Long Flight Home: Sunday (1994) 𓆝

I need to talk to literally anyone willing to read about this INCREDIBLE song. I find it so beautiful and I'm gonna give a brief interpretation, break down a few of my favorite lyrics, talk about why I like it, and whatever else about the song because it's seriously so good. I will listen to this song on repeat for hours at a time so please listen to my excited blabbering about it:)

My Interpretation of the Song:

After doing some brief research (reading and watching interviews with the band, and looking at lyric summaries) and using my own ideas I've come up with a short interpretation on the meaning behind this song:

This song was written by Lee (one of the band members) about his wife, Paige (the band's lead singer). Lee wrote this song as he flew home after having his visa expire, he had to fly away from the love of his life when all he wanted was to be with her. I think more broadly this song can be seen as a metaphor for feeling alone/isolated and dazed. It can be a longing for the past or what was once had in a relationship. Or this song could be taken literally and be seen as a disliking towards traveling and feeling trapped in the sky. This song truly has a number of possible interpretations which can allow it to touch the hearts of many people.

Favorite Lyrics:

The song writers in Sunday (1994) are lyrical geniuses - I feel such strong connections to so many of their lyrics, I can genuinely relate and/or be touched by everything they say in each song they write and I LOVE IT!!

~ "Someone is sick behind me. Aren't we all, I whisper."

I feel a strong personal connection to this lyric as I often feel a disconnect from both myself and society and I feel like this lyric perfectly encapsulates this feeling. It starts as a literal lyric (someone is most likely throwing up on a plane), but the songwriter then turned it metaphoric and phrased it in a more "sick-in-the-head" way.

~ "I missed you before I left you. But now it's getting stupid."

~ "I read the safety pamphlet back to back. Pick me up, take me home to your cul-de-sac."

Both of the previous lyrics feel as if they understand the feeling of missing someone so deeply. I get very close to people (and have horrid attachment issues) so I feel really connected to these lyrics. They explain the gut wrenching feeling of actually missing a person and always wanting to be with them.

~ "I've got no signal on my phone. No one can ever truly know. The loneliness of the long flight home."

This lyric had to be included for numerous reasons. It summarizes the overall song, it can be interpreted in infinite ways, and again helps to describe the isolating feeling of missing someone you love so deeply. I really don't think there's any better way they could have written this lyric.

Personal Connection:

I feel like this song truly understands me, it's like it can see inside me and read my thoughts. It feels like it was written for me, especially coming from a more niche artist. As cheesy as it sounds: this song at times feels like a part of me. Listening to Sunday (1994) songs feel like a diary of mine that someone else wrote. I don't think I can explain it better then that, I just have such a strong emotional connection to so much of their music and hope other people can love their music the way I do.

Fuck gatekeeping, I want everyone to hear how beautiful they are. Truly, listening to their music gives me so much inspirational and makes me want to learn to sing, play guitar, write poetry/music, and just overall be creative.

I hope someone out there really reads this and listens to the song, if you do please tell me!! I'd love to talk to anyone about the beauty that is "The Loneliness Of The Long Flight Home".

Thank you for reading this, it means a lot to me if you did <33

[dearreader]

hello fellow members of the tortured poets department.

today i will enter into evidence THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT as a song and analyze it. i’m going to look at the lyrics and the relationship and how that translates to the entire album as a whole.

previous posts: fortnight

this song is pretty straight forward, so most analysis is redundant. as most of the lyrics bounce back and forth between two things:

thinking that they’re nothing but two idiots and not geniuses or actual tortured poets

quiet moments where taylor is reaching out and trying to help the situation and make it last but us hindered.

the first part is mentioned relentlessly, to the point it’s the chorus line, “you’re not dylan thomas/im not patti smith/this ain’t the chelsea hotel/we’re modern idiots”, and also taylor says it point blank in the opening stanza:

“you left your typewriter at my apartment/straight from the tortured poets department/i think some things i never say/like who uses type writers anyway?”

this immediately sets the scene of taylor knowing, either looking back or in the moment, that he was full of himself and it wasn’t as serious as she thought it was. but he disagrees, he does view himself very highly. but we see plently of moments where taylor describes him as just… a guy? he’s literally just some guy who gets high and makes declarations, “you smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate/we declared charlie puth should be a bigger artist/i scratch your head as you fall asleep/like a tattooed golden retriever”. this is how she views him, just some guy. maybe this is her trying to show us what she saw in him.

but this brief moment is cut short by his own issues and possibly hung over, “but you awaken with dread/pounding nails in your head/but i've read this one where you come undone/i chose this cyclone with you”. and because of this he’s most likely pulling back or self sabotaging, as can be indicated by the first verse “but your in self sabatoge mode/throwing spikes down on the road/but i’ve seen this episode before and still loved the show”. the first verse is important to know here as it implies that she’s either seen him or a previous partner experience this before, and based on the albatross i think it’s previous partners experienced this, mainly peter as she implies these two and her relationships to them were incredibly similar. because she’s experienced this before with not on the outside world and media interfering in her love life, but she’s also experienced what it’s like to watch a loved one struggle with this. she’s “read it before” in others albums like folklore or midnights where she discusses the media interfering with her relationship and career. and because she saw how that one ended she fears this will happen again and wants to stop it. because she chose him to get out of her previous relationship so she will stick through it with him.

all while she keeps repeatedly telling herself they will never be able to hold each other or know each other like anyone else. so they have to make it work. they just hsve to. but she does fear it won’t work. that he’ll mess it up and their fated love story won’t work out. but she is deluding the fears with rose colored glasses and thinking that he loves her so much that “he’d kill himself if i ever leave” which taylor even acknowledges she likes because it made her feel seen, which we know is something she craved from her romantic partners in the past from songs like tolerate it and you’re losing me. and because of this guy finally sees her so much and loves it he’d rather die than lose her. she’s ignoring all the warning signs around her because she’s finally being given the attention she’s needed in her other relationships. so she’s willing to wear the rose colored glasses, look past his pretentiousness and issues because he’s giving her what she needed… and that was enough.

but how this connects to the album as a whole and why it’s the title. this album is about taylor grappling with years worth of trauma and suffering. it’s about her grieving a 6 year long relationship with who she thought was blown in with the winds of fate and then dealing with the hurt and betrayal that this guy who swore he’d love her forever was leaving her. her titling an album about how he views himself, and almost setting the album itself into a hospital because she feels like she’s on life support, is her acknowledging the hurt she caused. she’s saying that he’s pretentious and under that he is nothing but an idiot who broke and hurt her to the point she felt like she was in a months long manic episode. this man hurt her. so she wrote an album about her healing journey and dissecting the public’s image of her, the thing that’s ruined so many relationships for her, and titled it with his own ego as a fuck you. it’s very tongue in cheek and subverts all our expectations, including his. she’s not taking herself seriously, she’s moving on and healing, and is making fun of him for being that serious.

i’d like to apologize again to the fellow members for this being disorganized. i had a solid explanation for it but then it took me like two hours trying to figure out how to explain it. but, in summation: who the fuck uses type writers anyway and drags them along to the house of a girl you’ve been dating for under a week? only fucking pretentious idiots do.

(tagging the wonderful @camerabitchsmile cause they’ve organized this event and despite my unorganized analysis i’m having fun with this event!)

You know, the musical "dance sequence" ending of "The Devil's Chord" would've worked so much better if it actually used a Beatles song. All episode, I was waiting to see what song the show managed to get the rights to, what they'd choose to cover, because... well, it makes sense, doesn't it? Why call out a specific band if you don't pay homage to at least one of their works, or showcase how they're geniuses?

I understand that's probably partly due to copyright/licensing, problems that episodes like "The Shakespeare Code" and "Vincent and the Doctor" don't have. (Although those episodes still honor their historical artists through other methods than just displaying/replicating their work.) But still, I'd hope there's room in the budget to license one song, no matter who made it.

The Beatles literally have a song involving the twist that was recorded in 1963: "Twist and Shout." How cool would it have been for the Doctor to have been included in its recording? Now, if they really insisted on having a song that's as quick and upbeat as "There's Always a Twist at the End", then they could've used "The Twist" by Chubby Checker, which would've been just as iconic. In fact, you could've thrown a gag in there where one Beatle turns to the other and remarks that they've just thought of the PERFECT song to cover, but not this one.

Now if they really NEEDED the song to include the phrase "there's always a twist at the end," I see two solutions:

1) They start by singing "Twist and Shout" or "The Twist", and then partway through, the Doctor and Ruby add in their own verse with the needed lyrics.

2) The Beatles start to play a recognized song (maybe we hear the title or the first few notes), before the Doctor jumps in to say that they've run out of room in the budget for big songs like theirs. Luckily, he has his own tune for them all to use.

It's a shame. "The Devil's Chord" was fun in a lot of ways, which makes its flaws stand out to me all the more. Still, I'm excited to see what the rest of the season has in store.

genius lyrics annotators love to literally just restate the line. i don't think any of you people are geniuses

[gabessquishytum]

You and 🦩anon are both geniuses and I just need to add that the lyric "dead and cold, a story told/by those he trusted, those he loved, and those who then moved on" applied to recently fishbowled Dream? UNBELIEVABLY painful, no notes.

(But also then Hob can be like "moved on???? I waited for you for 133 years wtf????" And Dream can have the revelation that no, not everyone moved on 🥹)

AHHH agreed (here’s the first post about the count of monte cristo)!! I recommend everyone go listen to the song because the way the singer performs the “and those who then moved on” part is absolutely spine tingling.

I love the idea of Hob being like “but I didn’t?? I literally bought a pub and waited so that we’d have somewhere to meet on the off-chance that you’d come back??” And Dream (still sore from the fact that his subjects in the dreaming abandoned the realm) is forced to confront the fact that he is loved and cherished by someone. He has to come out of the emo slump for a minute and acknowledge that Hob didn’t abandon him and probably never will.

Of course he’s still entitled to feel terribly depressed but. Maybe Death was right. Hob was pleased to see him. Hob waited. Maybe the world isn’t such a terrible place after all?

The Cure's Genius, pt. 1

Siouxsie Sioux once said this about John McGeoch:

He was into sound in an almost abstract way. I could say "I want this to sound like a horse falling off a cliff, and he would know exactly what I meant."

I believe the same applies to Robert Smith. I can vividly sense a vibe of dilution and pointlessness, quite literally running towards nothing in “A Forest,” which is reinforced by the lyrics at the end:

The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again...

"One Hundred Years" feels like a hundred years of sensing the death blow closing in with pain and a creeping feeling, and "The Kiss" is how kissing someone you lust after but do not love would sound like. "Fascination Street" takes you on an adventure with "fun" people who are fun only because they don't care about anything, including you. It’s amazing how every one of their songs feels like a unique theater show. Beyond the musical aspect, the lyrics are so tasteful. For example, this is from "How Beautiful You Are":

I turned to look at you To read my thought upon your face

I've never heard any other band touch on different aspects of a deep interpersonal connection like in "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep." But that's no surprise, coming from someone who found long-lasting love with his high school sweetheart at the age of 14. They ace every love song they make, from "The Lovecats" to "Lovesong." They're not like every other artist; they're musical geniuses. Then comes the feeling of grieving the possibility of god forbid growing bored of them and being left alone in silence to deal with the myriad experiences that only they can picture so ever artistically. Because truly, no one can embody art as well as The Cure does.

[smileymoth]

Hollywood Undead is probably going to be in my top 5 best bands of all time forever. The growth they have had as a band from Swan Songs to Kalifonia Dreaming????? literally insane. They're all so incredibly talented!!! Their music is really catchy (to me, anyway), the melody and the rhythm makes me overjoyed... And as much as half their songs are about fucking bitches, partying, starting wars(???) and smoking weed, there's a good amount of music that seemingly has deeper meaning and which has decently good lyrics -- now obviously I am not going to pretend that they are some lyrical geniuses because they are not, but there are songs and lyrics that really do speak to me, even if the words are on the simpler side. Like they're a white boy rap-rock group I am not expecting some world class poetry out of a song called "World War Me" or "Pimpin'" ok!!!! But I do think that as simple as they are... some lines do sound really fucking good.

I've given Danny a lot of flack for 'not knowing how to sing' or how his voice is whiny back in 2014 (lol), but his vocals have gotten much better, and it makes me very happy :) (i might've also been biased back then that i was so weird about him since I had a big celeb crush on Deuce hahsdf.. like Danny's vocals in the old albums are a bit scratchy but They're Still Good) ....

Johnny3's voice is so incredibly powerful and recognizable, I think Johnny's verses in the more serious songs really nail it in for me how much I love this silly band.

And whatever Charlie has going on where he does so well with all types of songs -- he will tell you he bought a suit because to meet God you gotta look nice and then turn around and rap about breaking up with his gf so he could bang sluts. like boy what r you doing. Like his vibe fits it all. .. Like man I could NOT imagine Funnyman singing abt wanting to kill himself that would just be ODD hadhsdf .... Funnyman's personality or like the stage persona is so !!!!! ILOVE HIM and his VOICE his voice I love his voice so much <333!!!!!!!

and Like Jdog knows how to do EVERYTHING it seems. what doesnt he do... beside music he somehow even cant stop saving stray animals. he's absolutely fuckign goated with the sauce. beloved emo boy Jdoggy dog <3

Maybe I am sooo sentimental and parasocial about this band since it's the first band I ever got really obsessed with and by the looks of it I am still not over them at all... and they can't stop making good music so I will keep listening to them!!! I deeply regret not seeing them in 2018 when they were in Estonia... PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL ESTONIA I NEEEEEED YOU HERE AGAIN PLEEAAASEEE!!!!!!!!

conclusion: I LOVE HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

IF YOUR MUSE IS A MUSICIAN:

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"Hi, uh, my name is Ash DiMarco, and I'm one of the founding members of The Wallets."

how long have you been making music?

"Well music kinda runs in my family, so it's been a part of my life forever. I mean my mom literally was pregnant on tour. But uh, when I was about 13 I started to really take it seriously. It's around this time when I begged my older cousin to be in my band and well, that's how this kinda all started."

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"It's definitely indie rock. A little bit of pop, a touch of singer- songwriter vibes."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Well obviously my mom was a huge influence on me, considering how amazing she really is. And many of her influences too, for obvious reasons, but I really draw from like blackbear, Jeremy Zucker, Jon Bellion, the 1975, Wombats, you know very alt artists that are just extremely talented and lyrical geniuses. "

what is the first record you ever bought?

"Make believe by weezer"

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

"I haven't been as successful as some of the members of my family, but I really love this industry. There's so much that goes into making an album or doing a show that I dont think people realize, and that's kinda what I love about it. I love how much work it really takes."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well out music videos are what I really love and are most proud of."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

Awkward. The Wallets only did one tour in ten years. With local shows few and far between, and it was all because of him. The anxiety he felt on stage. "Well, we don't do a lot of shows, so..." He gave a small chuckle hoping they would move on.

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career, and what’s next for you?

Ash took a long pause, thinking about the future, what he wanted. And the truth was he didn't know. Wallets was crumbling, every member moving on in separate directions, and here he was. clinging to the music industry, cause it's all he really knew. "Sky's the limit."

[suburbanlegendstv]

the people who are able to decode like 10-20 letter lyric acronyms from friendship bracelets are literally geniuses bc my little pea brain could never

[collisvng]

I just want to take some time away from my writing projects to speak about Yoongi and Jisung’s lyricism for a moment. Never in my life did I think I could fall in love with music and writing again until I found BTS and now Stray Kids. And the fact both my biases are complete lyrical geniuses is just bewildering to me.

Yoongi and Han have so much in common, but are also so different. Their types of writing styles and how they express their artistry is so unmatched in my eyes.

Yoongi has always been the type to express his feelings and world views through his music. He speaks about his life experiences, how others’ life experiences can change and affect those around them, and just makes music that feels so freeing when you listen to it you can’t help feel overwhelming emotion with each word that is said. He’s truly grown as an artist and will always choose being real over appeasing his audience, which I respect so much.

Han’s music is the kind of music that is so deceiving to the ear, it’s absolutely beautiful. His backtracks are always so full of life, while the songs themselves are so full of sorrow and heartbreak. His lyrics can literally rip your heart out with only a few words. And it’s like you are putting yourself in that pain while still managing to stay happy because of how it sounds. It's such a weird thing to experience, but it’s always so beautifully done.

They are both so forthcoming with their words, and the inspiration for what they write is always creative.

My little gummy smile boys with anxiety, using the most beautiful analogies to write the most gut-wrenching lyrics and coming out with the most expressive music. Ughhhhh, I love them.

And in more recent times, I have grown such emotional attachments to their more recent projects for emotional support.

Amygdala and Collision are the songs I have found myself having the most attachment to recently.

Those songs kinda saved me from myself in recent times when I was going through some really terrible stuff. And now with Han’s new song “Miserable” coming out at a very convenient time for me, it’s literally become my new favorite after only a day.

I will forever be grateful for their existence.

I hope BTS and Stray Kids continue to create a safe space for their fans, and know that there are people out there like me that were able to find a reason to keep going because of them.

I love them so much.

[merlilica]

For the music ask let's say 5,18 and 20 :3

(From this ask list)

ooh, nice

5: A song you like to daydream to

Probably all of them, depending on the daydream but I really love Somewhere Out There by acloudyskye. First heard it from playing a beat saber map when I still played competitively and I have loved it ever since. It’s just a very smooth song that always calms me down plus the best saber map is SO FUCKING COOL.

18: A song that you like that the lyrics are just so beautiful they’re practically poetry

I’m not really a lyrics person tbh, it’s definitely more about the beat for me. But I’d probably have to say Carsick by Weathers (going to see them in concert tomorrow and holy shit I’m so excited). They aren’t lyrical geniuses but something about that song just gets me lol. That or Drama Queen, also by Weathers, but with like. the opposite vibes I think.

20: A song from the soundtrack of a film that you like so much after the film finished you immediately looked for it

Oh definitely the entire soundtrack of Promare. It’s one of my favorite movies EVER and every single song is an absolute banger, not just Kakusei. And I’m making this sort of count, but when I watch SKAM Italia one of the outtro songs was Turn It On by Waines and I literally couldn’t find it anywhere except for one unofficial upload on youtube. Very sad. But it’s a banger song.
