#you'll find a lot of what i listen to is uhhh incredibly depressing

Hi! Idk if you'd be interested but I made a Playlist for F!Leo that has a lot of influence from MNMC (and some OMO) and I'd love to hear your thoughts. F!Leo is such an interesting character to get into the mind of I can't help but rotate him in my brain like rotisserie chicken 😅 Feel free to ignore this if you aren't

I have a bit of an auditory processing issue when it comes to listening to music with lyrics (the words just go into my brain and get blended up into nothingness) so I tend to just listen to a lot of orchestral/cinematic soundtracks and select music purely off of vibes the sound gives off.

This isn't the first time I've had this question though, so I'm just going to throw some songs that struck me as very Leon-esque (usually after looking up the lyrics so I can actually parsing out the meaning). I'll allow you to determine how relevant/irrelevant they are.

It's Not the Same Anymore by Rex Orange County -  I've spent many months just hating on myself, I can't keep wishing things will be different, Or leaving problems on the shelf, I wish I didn't need to get help. But I do. I've been so hard on myself, Even my family can tell, And they barely saw what I felt.

That Unwanted Animal by The Amazing Devil (you can blame @somerandomdudelmao dude for this one)

Sunlit Gravy by Mesa - A man you once knew, In a sunlit grave

Pool by Samia "How long do you think we can sit here before we have to move?" - mostly just a feeling of melancholia and nostalgia that I get from this one

Free - Acoustic by Florence & the Machine - Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death, And somehow still keep singing

Goodbye by Ramsey - Where is my home, I don't recognise the faces anymore

I also had a really good ask come in a while ago that goes through the lyrics of a song which seems to have very strong Leon vibes (“Just a Man” by Jorge Rivera-Herrans) which I have posted below.
