For me it’s “We won’t be a alone” by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.
This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.
Edit: grammar mistake corrections
For me, I’ve gotta say “Machine Messiah”, by Yes. It’s one of the longest, and most interesting songs I’ve heard. Most songs have just one “mood” explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I’m very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also–is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)
YouTube link for anyone else who wants to check it out/listen to it: Machine Messiah (2008 Remaster) and Machine Messiah (1980?)
/edit: My personal assessment: Too wild/disorganized for me :P
“Hits hard” may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?
- Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Live at Brighton Great Escape 2010)
- The Cranberries - Zombie
- Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
- The intro soundbit on Infinity Train
- The episode intros of Jobless Reincarnation (“Mushoku Tensei”) (song with video mix) - always with episode relevant content, showing the world, incredible world-building, with its amazing harmonic conclusion)
Creating the list made me wonder what more I could list so I took a peek into my music collection. Maybe Neil Young, which reminds me of my deceased mother (I didn’t include it here). Or other genres that would fit too, given that I do listen to a lot of or more of other genres. I found more highlights:
- The This Will Destroy You songs I Believe in Your Victory, The World Is Our ___, Threads
- Hula Hooper - Reach
- Sylvan Esso - Die Young (Echo Mountain Sessions)
- Sylvan Esso - Coffee (NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert) (the first song)
- Juli - Dieses Leben
- Samy Deluxe - One Take Wonder 2 Meisterplan
- Banyan Tree - Feel The Sun Rise (until 2:09; transitions great into next song; a sunrise into wakeup beat; I have only the first on a mix CD in my car, and I always intuitively expect the followup but something different follows 😄)
Long time Nine inch nails fan. Love everything he’s done.
Hear Johnny Cash do Hurt.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yeah that song hits quite hard
I didn’t know it by name, but it’s an iconic classic. I immediately recognized it.
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
I’m currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.
Part of this song is about how fast life goes by, not just the dad not being there. Sad to say you can’t fix that.
Self Destruct - kublai khan tx
yukikosan - midori (NSFW ALBUM COVER)
All songs that hit hard for different reasons… for me
