"oh dear god"

"AAAAAAACT"

everyone but you - the young veins

they just re-released take a vacation, and as someone who really loves the young veins that makes me VERY EXCITED because they haven’t put out much in recent years and it'll be interesting to see if they have a comeback. as for this song, it was always a standout on the album for me. I don’t know what about it but oh my it made me emotional. it was so simple and something about the lyrics felt so dreamy and hopeless at the same time, like clinging onto the last bit of dreaminess to keep you sane because you miss someone so much.

she - dodie

unrequited lesbian crush ANTHEM, we stan dodie. this song has such a sweet, pure, and innocent tone that I think is so nice and fits so well with the subject matter. as a person who likes girls and used to identify as one this song is very near and dear to me, it really hits home.

Nancy drew - sløtface

I went through a major rock/punk phase a few years back, but I actually only recently found out about sløtface. they sound like if Paramore hadn't gone pop mixed with some of pierce the veil’s more melodic tracks and oh my goody goody goodness I'm obsessed. with this song in particular, its fairly chill for a pop punk until they hit that chorus, and the first time I heard this hook I  automatically was hit by a mixture of “ HELL FUCKIN YEAH “ and hardcore nostalgia and this is just such  a good song

góda tungl ( good moon ) - samaris

so this one is a bit of a change from the others. it’s Icelandic, and what I find really interesting about it is that it’s traditional Icelandic poetry from many years ago, just sung with a very minimalistic drone-ish beat ( kinda like eluvium or startle the heavens just faster and with words ??? ). it’s so unique and I just love it so much. just ,,,, go listen to all of the samaris self titled album its so worth 40 minutes of your time.

belly of the beat - grimes

I wasn’t 100% sold on this song at first but it’s quickly become one of my favorites. I love how weirdly dark it gets at “ every body dies we cut out their eyes and dace like angels do “ and how soulful she sounds at “ in the belly of the beat “ and it just overall has this amazing dreamy quality that puts me in a trance the whole time im listening

a pearl - Mitski

at the beginning of the song everything is so stripped and then she hits “ I fell in love with a WARRRR” and everything grows so much and turns into this big semi jazzy semi rock Mitski fiasco and honestly im living for it

sincerity is scary - the 1975

when this album first came out I died inside and it was all I listened to for a solid 2 weeks. this song is just ,,,, so rich and well done and the GODDAMN HIHATS I doubt many non music geek people would notice this but the hi-hats are flipping between two patterns and its damn near impossible to count. every time I hear the song im automatically sucked in the the 1975′s weird mix of pop, gospel, and Matty Healy’s weirdness

Work Song - Hozier

this song sounds so meaningful and rich, and as someone who lives in a constant state of existential crisis the fact it’s about dying in peace really strikes a chord. the video for this song is so beautiful and fits so well. this song really isnt high energy and there’s very little buildup to the chorus, but even so everything that is there feels so purposeful that it becomes even more powerful.

woman - Harry styles

this song was my favorite song ( until it was dethroned by my queen Maggie rogers ) and honestly I just love it so much. the opening piano gliss travels from one ear to another and then everything comes crashing down and then on top of that harry is just singin and having a grand ol time and then we get to the first verse and everything strips down and then the BASSLINE comes in and I die inside because I love it so much.

the knife - Maggie rogers
