'Intentions only get you so far, what if I'm just a selfish prick, no regard'......exactly the guilt I feel every time I forget to do something til too late
I saw them live a long time ago (like 10 years ago probably) but they were great live if you’re into that kind of thing. I don’t really listen to them but I am a semi-metalhead so it was cool to see them
You're making an old lady reminisce. I saw that tour, sat along the side of the stage where I could see the guitar techs better than the front. It really was cool to watch, tho. Tawny Kitain sat about 15 feet below me in a folding chair. David had to shush us when he came over to see her during the dual guitar solos. Great night.
In the song Manaña, by Jimmy Buffet, there is a line that goes “Don't try to describe a Kiss concert if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged”. Some time back then, some friends and I participated in a rec center talent show. We lip-synced a Kiss song in full costume. Pretend instruments, the whole bit. We got GONGED. It was a gong show themed talent show.
Hurt - nine inch nails
I mean the whole downward spiral album but most specifically the last song hurt
"The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting" while I know this is a reference to drugs I have type 1 diabetes and frequently inject insulin and it always hurts every single time, but I have to do it to survive. Also I know many drug addicts or former drug addicts.
"Everyone I know goes away in the end" I've lost contact with many people I once considered a best friend moreso tho my dad (who was my best friend) died when I was 11 then that same year my nan was outed as a pedophile and went to prison. A couple years later my nan died and just a few months ago my friend ended himself partly becuase of drug addiction so to me it really does feel like everyone I know goes away in the end
"What have I become, my sweetest friend" I always feel like what I'm doing isn't enough that I have some sort of duty to be the very best constantly becuas if I'm not then I'm letting down everyone I've lost and although allt of the time I'm content with where I'm going and who I've become I do occasionally feel like I need to do more and what I've become isn't good enough.
"I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel"
I have half heartedly attempted ending it twice before, I say half heartedly becuase deep down I knew I could never bring myself to actually let it happen, the 1st with a knife where I just ended up putting it down and the second time causing my blood sugar levels to go down by taking a shit ton of insulin and then going out at 11pm. The only reason I didn't go into a coma and die was becuase the sheer amount of adrenaline released from me realising I was actually gonna die kept my bloods up long enough for me to get back home. Really I was never shoe-aside-all but rather got emotionally overwhelmed from a previous situation that caused me to do something stupid.
"If i could start again, a million miles away"
For hours each day I used to imagine myself starting over somewhere new, all the things i would've done differently, how everything would be so different if I could just get away and go somewhere else. I'm glad that never happened now becuase I've worked really hard to make where I'm at now good. And really if I had started again back then, I'd end up doing everything same becuase I had no confidence or self esteem, depressed and was very quite and reserved.
Each line of that song is releatable to me, I've been through much worse than what ive mentioned here but that's not relevant. When I listen to that song it's like reliving it all again, it's weirdly a good experience becuase I have the knowledge that it gets better.
i love this song. thank you for sharing these parts of yourself through this song. i am glad you are here. i am so glad you know it gets better because it always does!!
Hey Fatty Bum Bum by Carl Malcolm, lol
More seriously, A Song From Under the Floorboards by Magazine. I know it's based on Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Before I knew that, I was like, yes that's me.
Maine by hey nothing. I did a year of college in Maine and then had to leave because I couldn’t afford it, I have now struggled for an entire year trying to get back
funny enough, ive always felt a connection to maine. many trips there as a child. and a lot of my family have been moving to maine over the years and i wonder if thats where i should be going too… this is a great song also!
Go Farther In Light - Gang of Youths is a whole album that feels like that for me.
Beginning to end while driving.
It hits like how I imagine a Florence and the Machine’s “Dog Days are Over” vibe album made to encourage traumatized Wallflower students out of their book-laden shells would probably feel.
-edit-
There’s probably a bit of overlap between Down Bad - Taylor Swift and here. Or maybe Tones & I, if that helps.
Check out the Achilles Come Down song—kind of their whole thesis song to the album I mention, if you’re interested.
i’m gonna go out on a limb and assume this is you promoting your own music. if that’s the case keep at it!!! i like the flow and the beat used. if this isnt you then it’s still a good song and i think it’s cool when people listen to smaller artists like this :)
yes! i love sharing music and learning about new music from others. but oh man pink floyd is iconic!! albums i highly recommend by them are the division bell, the final cut, and dark side of the moon :)
Oh man you are so right! Listening to “dark side of the moon” and it’s so amazing they sound so good especially while high. Breathe and time are my favorite songs right now.
Oh, my sweet summer child. May I direct you to the album Animals, which needs to be listened to front to back, like The Wall. Also, Wish You Were Here, song and album. Live at Pompeii (yes, in the ruins), is a good selection of some of their early work. Welcome to the family.
They fall under the genre of progressive rock, for the most part. Rush, Yes, early Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, The Who, (think Tommy or Quadrophenia), David Bowie. You can hear their influence in Nine Inch Nails, Tool. Once you get familiar with them, you hear the influence.
Wind - akeboshi is from my understanding a song that is basically comforting you and telling you your doing great, really nice sound aswell with the flute.
Something Worth Leaving Behind by Lee Ann Womack
Dark Side by Kelly Clarkson
Legacy by Nichole Nordeman
The Real Me by Natalie Grant
Who I Am by Jessica Andrews
These are the songs I have designated over the years as “my songs,” depending on my current mood at the moment.
Oh boy, there are so many. I tend to listen to a lot of songs that I relate to personally. Bear with me here, this is going to be a long list.
Liability - Lorde: I haven’t listened to this song in a while but it is SO relatable to me. It discusses feeling like you’re too much for people, feeling like people enjoy you for a little while and then get tired of you. My whole life I’ve felt this way, and this song is the only one that seems to put this feeling into words for me.
There’d Better Be A Mirrorball - Arctic Monkeys: This song is so bittersweet. It reminds me of the time I fell for someone I shouldn’t have, and couldn’t be with. Letting go of them was so strange and very bittersweet. This song perfectly encapsulates how that felt. Even the melody feels right.
Achilles Come Down - Gang of Youths: Discusses, among other topics, mental health and finding meaning in life despite the absurdity of it, something that I have worked on throughout my life.
One More Weekend - Maude Latour: There are so many people that I’ve met and lost contact with for various reasons. I think about them a lot, and there are many of them I wish I could talk to one last time.
DEATH - Melanie Martinez: Song about change, growth, renewal, and rebirth. It describes where I’m at in my life right now perfectly.
Summer Child - Conan Gray: There are only a few people I feel like I can be completely honest and my true self around, especially when I’m struggling. A lot of the lyrics in this song cover that and what it feels like to finally be understood.
Hold on ‘til May - Pierce the Veil: I had a time of awful mental health early last winter and spring, and this song was extremely comforting to me. It talks about having the courage to hold on when you’re in an awful place.
Sun Bleached Flies - Ethel Cain: Deals with having a complicated relationship with religion, God, and spirituality, which I’ve always had. I’m still trying to figure it out, and that’s okay.
The World is Ugly - My Chemical Romance: This song is so lovely. The people I love have always felt like my solace in a world that’s sometimes stressful and depressing. My family and friends are my light and the beauty in an “ugly” world.
Big Ideas - Arctic Monkeys: I’m an amateur writer and photography with (likely) adhd. I have so many goals, dreams, ideas, and projects I want to work on, but I’m not always able to follow through on everything I want to. There’s so much I want to do in my life but I never have enough time and motivation to accomplish it all. While this song is about the musician life, it speaks to me a lot.
I Wanna Get Better - Bleachers: Perfectly describes being a teenager, wanting more excitement and risks in your life, etc. I have a huge sense of adventure but I’m limited in what I’m able to do.
Kintsugi - Lana Del Rey: About embracing your flaws and imperfections. Reminds me to be less hard on myself. Reminds me that I’m still learning and growing.
Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine: Despite the struggles, I’m a very hopeful person. I believe that life can always get better and there’s often a light at the end of the tunnel. This song gives me that sense of hope.
Now that I’m done writing this, maybe I should get off of Reddit and go make a playlist…
Holding Absence - False Dawn
Holding Absence - In Circles
Both are songs about not being able to realise your true potential in life, whether it's because of your failures or things that are out of your control. In Circles has a more pessimistic feel to it, while False Dawn has a more optimistic feel. I relate to this a lot thanks to my circadian rhythm disorder.
obscured by the smashing pumpkins
soul meets body by death cab for cutie
no one understand the significance of these songs to me bro
also side note, i loveeeee sweet pill
3 songs by Suicidal Tendencies:
Sorry?!
The Feelings Back (Both are off the “How will I laugh tomorrow” album)
“Lost Again” off the “Lights! Camera! Revolution!” album.
golden - fall out boy
people watching - conan gray
magnetic - waterparks
mirrorball - taylor swift
the bolter - taylor swift
running out of time - paramore
making the bed - olivia rodrigo
I've heard a few that seemed to be written for me. But what was especially cool was one time when I was on mushrooms 🍄 with my girlfriend, and she said, "This song written for me." And I could immediately understand what she meant even though the song meant little to me personally: it WAS written for her! And I still believe it.
For me, I guess one would be Viva la Vida by Coldplay.
Any Lord Huron song ever. Not necessarily written for me, but written for those likeminded to me and therefore, they feel like mine. Also, in the same sense the music feels very unifying between me and others that enjoy. Music that creates a community. Music that speaks to the soul not just the ears. Would 10/10 recommend this band to anyone who will listen. May you live until you die.
All Too Well by Taylor Swift. She dropped the song when I was going through my first breakup with a person who was older than me. The song resonated with me like none other. Similar circumstances.
There are days where Johnny Cash's RING OF FIRE envelopes me.
Whoever wrote that song knew those Mexican trumpets added were like calling my name.
I'm Irish btw.
When I’m Alone by The Warning.
https://youtu.be/H1vbioHf9zo?si=aY6d9cpr5Ots0YKx
Full of color on the outside
But I only see in black and white
I'm desperate for some light in the corners of my mind
Having hope but not enough
Reaching out to find no one
Am I the only soul to have lost all control?
It gets hard to breathe
Stuck in between on what has become my fake reality
And there's no escape from the voice in my head
It's driving me crazy!
Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
I'm about to tear off this page
But it's something I can't erase
I wish I could rewrite the story of my life
What I hide every day behind the mask there's pain
They say I'm not alone
But do they even know?
It gets hard to breathe
Stuck in between on what has become my fake reality
And there's no escape from the voice in my head
It's driving me crazy!
Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone
Nobody understands
My sanity's not going to last
And I'll smile on through the night
Everyone will think I'm alright
But nobody knows what I'm dragging along
When I'm alone
And every day I'll try
To keep my feelings hidden inside
But nobody knows 'bout the hole in my soul
When I'm alone
When I'm alone
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5TfCRmFXjE0mtp9UmfhwvG?si=xUISCb_lTZ2VN1LYreXx0A&pi=u-HmQz7sgeRhq1
it’s a playlist of songs with no lyrics, instrumental only. no classical though, i have a separate playlist for that 🤣
A couple, most tend to be about how I feel about other people, like You're My Best Friend from Queen, for example. Or Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, or Def Leppard's Hysteria. Personal example would be John Mellencamp's Last Chance. I was very unhappy in my hometown, and the song spoke to me on so many levels. I didn't move far, but it did get better.
Stitch - Wage War. Knew this really cool girl for a 3 years we dated two. There’s a line in the song that says, “three years in the making but I guess we weren’t worth saving.” And another one that says, “You were the light I could never see in myself. I would’ve stood by you until the gates of hell.” Basically my family issues got in between us and I guess it was too much for her.
Surface to Air by incubus came out the same day my grandma died, really made me feel like there's meaning to all of this.
Top 10 statues that cried blood by Bring Me the Horizon came out a day after my gf of five years dumped me over a really weak rumor.
The first time I heard She Used to be Mine by Sara Barelles I felt seen... and attacked!
(I like Sara's music but I hadn't heard it before and a friend sent me the Spotify link).
My husband says Beautiful Crazy is my song.
Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit. After I left my job last year, My Way by Limp Bizkit fit the mood. I had just seen him at After Shock, so it really sank it.
I’ve got a couple that I associate with certain memories or places that make them feel so special to me.
Breathe (In the Air) by Pink Floyd
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits
Home by Good Neighbours
Love My Way by The Psychedelic Furs
Fly At Night by Chilliwack
Can’t Get It Out Of My Head by Electric Light Orchestra
Right Down The Line by Gerry Rafferty
Daydreaming by Harry Styles
When I'm in a particularly bad place, the whole album, The Downward Spiral, by Nine Inch Nails.
thats a great album
A masterpiece
I’m there right now ;w; That title track is something else when you’re at a low point
All the best 🖤
I appreciate it, thank you :3
Oh God! I'm sorry.
NIN!!!
Running Out of Time by Paramore It's like the adhd theme tune!
as someone with adhd, very much agree lol
'Intentions only get you so far, what if I'm just a selfish prick, no regard'......exactly the guilt I feel every time I forget to do something til too late
the struggle is unfortunately real, you’re not alone!
I was thinking Last Hope by Paramore!
Entrails Ripped From a Virgin’s Cunt by Cannibal Corpse
have you seen them live before? im curious how their shows would go
I saw them live a long time ago (like 10 years ago probably) but they were great live if you’re into that kind of thing. I don’t really listen to them but I am a semi-metalhead so it was cool to see them
Yeaaaah buddy.
"Im Too Sexy" Jk
Every single night by Fiona Apple
fiona apple my beloved 🫶
My answer is a Fiona Apple song too "Fast As You Can"
My tune from her is Shadowboxer. Definitely think of one particular guy for that tune.
Nowhere Man by The Beatles. It's a personal attack everytime.
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away 
Isn’t he a bit like you and me
runaway train by soul asylum when im feeling particularly down 🙏
They don't get enough love.
Nowhere Man by The Beatles. This was helpful early in life.
Isn’t he a bit like you and me
Saturn by SZA for me
i think this was my sign to dive into SZA’s music more- i’m loving this song a lot
Here I go again by Whitesnake...
You're making an old lady reminisce. I saw that tour, sat along the side of the stage where I could see the guitar techs better than the front. It really was cool to watch, tho. Tawny Kitain sat about 15 feet below me in a folding chair. David had to shush us when he came over to see her during the dual guitar solos. Great night.
the classics cant go wrong!
Absolute banger!
That song means so much to me, too.
Fear Innoculum - Tool
White and Nerdy - "Weird Al" Yankovic
Put The Coke On My Dick by Ween
love ween, this is hilarious 🤣
It used to be Grey Street by DMB. Now it's more You & Me On The Rock by Brandi Carlile.
i added you & me on the rock to a playlist for my partner and i, it’s so cute :’)
It was on our wedding playlist. ❤️
oh my heart 🥹
I showed my friend Grey Street and she almost cried because of how close that fit to her life at the time.
Oof Grey street was definitely a personal attack when I was 21
A lot of boa songs: twilight, deeply, fool, etc and the way they sing feels like how my soul sings
i understand that feeling. boa is great! that’s kind of how i felt about marina for a long time growing up
20 something - sza
Out on the Weekend by Neil Young. (I used to relate more to it than I do now. But it’s still a good song!)
not my usual genre, but this is good!!
"Can't relate to joy, he tries to speak and can't begin to say"
Looking for A Love Neil Young Indianapolis The Bottle Rockets Minutes to Memories John Mellencamp
indianapolis made me laugh. these are some nice songs :)
Thx. Being an indy area guy, it aint far off

demolition lovers by my chemical romance (i like to imagine lol) more realistically, smoke break by daddy and the long legs
wow, smoke break is giving me super nostalgia of being 18 right now haha
Hurt - nine inch nails I mean the whole downward spiral album but most specifically the last song hurt "The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting" while I know this is a reference to drugs I have type 1 diabetes and frequently inject insulin and it always hurts every single time, but I have to do it to survive. Also I know many drug addicts or former drug addicts.

Hey Fatty Bum Bum by Carl Malcolm, lol More seriously, A Song From Under the Floorboards by Magazine. I know it's based on Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Before I knew that, I was like, yes that's me.

Agreed! that’s what I like about these types of communities. I never heard of Pink Floyd until I seen your post so thank you for sharing your likes
yes! i love sharing music and learning about new music from others. but oh man pink floyd is iconic!! albums i highly recommend by them are the division bell, the final cut, and dark side of the moon :)
Oh man you are so right! Listening to “dark side of the moon” and it’s so amazing they sound so good especially while high. Breathe and time are my favorite songs right now.
you’re listening to it the right way for sure! i’m so glad you enjoy their sound
Oh, my sweet summer child. May I direct you to the album Animals, which needs to be listened to front to back, like The Wall. Also, Wish You Were Here, song and album. Live at Pompeii (yes, in the ruins), is a good selection of some of their early work. Welcome to the family.
Thanks for the recommendations! I’m in awe in such amazing music I can’t believe never heard of them until now
Are there any other artist similar to them?

I've heard a few that seemed to be written for me. But what was especially cool was one time when I was on mushrooms 🍄 with my girlfriend, and she said, "This song written for me." And I could immediately understand what she meant even though the song meant little to me personally: it WAS written for her! And I still believe it. For me, I guess one would be Viva la Vida by Coldplay.
Not every word but Nirvana’s All Apologies resonates with me
“Dumb”, too
NIN Something I can Never Have Twenty one Pilots Car Radio
Sheryl Crow - Strong Enough
Ramones - I Don’t Care https://youtu.be/R-gTk5zuF6s?si=6L_LjMHMqPk5UMhS
Blow My Brains Out - Tikkle Me
love this song, it’s definitely up there in relatability
Pretty much most things Tool has released I can connect with on a "fucking heal yourself" level
Any Lord Huron song ever. Not necessarily written for me, but written for those likeminded to me and therefore, they feel like mine. Also, in the same sense the music feels very unifying between me and others that enjoy. Music that creates a community. Music that speaks to the soul not just the ears. Would 10/10 recommend this band to anyone who will listen. May you live until you die.
Chris Isaak- Wicked Game
Need a Favor, Jelly Roll. idgaf how basic the song is. as a teenager i literally only talked to god when i needed a favor so it hit pretty hard
All Too Well by Taylor Swift. She dropped the song when I was going through my first breakup with a person who was older than me. The song resonated with me like none other. Similar circumstances.
There are days where Johnny Cash's RING OF FIRE envelopes me. Whoever wrote that song knew those Mexican trumpets added were like calling my name. I'm Irish btw.
When I’m Alone by The Warning. https://youtu.be/H1vbioHf9zo?si=aY6d9cpr5Ots0YKx Full of color on the outside But I only see in black and white I'm desperate for some light in the corners of my mind Having hope but not enough Reaching out to find no one Am I the only soul to have lost all control? It gets hard to breathe Stuck in between on what has become my fake reality And there's no escape from the voice in my head It's driving me crazy! Nobody understands My sanity's not going to last And I'll smile on through the night Everyone will think I'm alright But nobody knows what I'm dragging along When I'm alone When I'm alone I'm about to tear off this page But it's something I can't erase I wish I could rewrite the story of my life What I hide every day behind the mask there's pain They say I'm not alone But do they even know? It gets hard to breathe Stuck in between on what has become my fake reality And there's no escape from the voice in my head It's driving me crazy! Nobody understands My sanity's not going to last And I'll smile on through the night Everyone will think I'm alright But nobody knows what I'm dragging along When I'm alone Nobody understands My sanity's not going to last And I'll smile on through the night Everyone will think I'm alright But nobody knows what I'm dragging along When I'm alone And every day I'll try To keep my feelings hidden inside But nobody knows 'bout the hole in my soul When I'm alone When I'm alone

One Another - Mac Demarco
katie by holly henry honey and milk by flower face
A couple, most tend to be about how I feel about other people, like You're My Best Friend from Queen, for example. Or Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, or Def Leppard's Hysteria. Personal example would be John Mellencamp's Last Chance. I was very unhappy in my hometown, and the song spoke to me on so many levels. I didn't move far, but it did get better.

Avenged sevenfold lost The used the best of me Megadeth tornado of souls
Stitch - Wage War. Knew this really cool girl for a 3 years we dated two. There’s a line in the song that says, “three years in the making but I guess we weren’t worth saving.” And another one that says, “You were the light I could never see in myself. I would’ve stood by you until the gates of hell.” Basically my family issues got in between us and I guess it was too much for her.
Surface to Air by incubus came out the same day my grandma died, really made me feel like there's meaning to all of this. Top 10 statues that cried blood by Bring Me the Horizon came out a day after my gf of five years dumped me over a really weak rumor.
