going to a show with these two in a few weeks (!!!) so i made a playlist to get excited, but have only realized how fully these two women encompass the full spectrum of emotions after someone has broken your heart. from missing them, to wanting revenge and wanting them to hurt, to loving them, to hating them, to slipping up and reaching out, to wondering where you went wrong, to changing yourself to make them want you more, to realizing you weren't enough because nothing ever will be, to knowing if you reach out you'll only lower your guard, to never knowing what you meant to them, and the interplay between all of those things. everything i've felt this month tenfold.
especially potent when you've spent a while not listening to these fun, poppy female artists you love so much because you were afraid you'd look less "cool" to some guy you like with strong music opinions. but i'm done feeling bad about what makes me feel happy and energetic. i don't care if it's cool or niche or cringe or not! i love women! i love having fun! i can only foster positive friendships and relationships going forward if i allow that for myself!

āif someoneās gonna love youā by Operelly i got this song off of here! i love this app! and i love this song! soft indie folk like this is amazing. itās so soothing and intimate and sad all at the same time
-For Your SinsĀ by Dea Matrona this whole album is literally my taste in music. it is everything i need in my life. itās if feminism was a music genre.Ā my favorites are āSo Damn Dangerousā, āGlory Glory (I am Free)ā, and āDid Nobody Ever Love You?ā
-BirdieĀ by Slaughter Beach, Dog this is peak indie music. just some guys in a basement with a low budget and acoustic guitar singing about love and life. my favorites off the album are āAcolyteā and āGold and GreenāĀ Ā
-āmary poppinsā by bbno$ yeah this song isā¦ something else. bbno$ is my favorite rapper and i love the parody rap and how unserious he is.Ā
-āgirlsā by girl in red happy pride month, bitches!!!Ā for this pride month, iām giving up men. bc they suck (this is pan erasure and i will not stand for it but itās ok bc im erasing myself) (that does not make any sense) but im obsessed with this song even tho i have a crush on a man and itās killing me- i love women, but the women donāt love me back šš

š¼this series is never going to end
-āManchildā by Sabrina CarpenterĀ this song is so condescending of himbos and i think itās the funniest thing. its so catchy and i love it! the chorus is- i canāt think of any other word to describe it other than adorableā¦ whichā¦ is not the right word, but i love sabrina carpenter and her vibe. her breathy vocals are just everything this song needs. like her sounding so cutesy while insulting her ex-lovers is so funny. and the music video is absurdist western nonsense and itās amazing.
-āDiscoā by Surf Curse this is what being head over heels sounds like. the compassionate love oozing from this song is everything. and theres something about the way the singer sounds and the distortion or whatever put over his voice that makes everything hit so much harder. indie rock love songs are my weakness (if anyone has anything like this, PLEASE SHARE)
-āIn Heavenā fromĀ Eraserhead so iām not willingly listening to this song, but itās unfortunately been stuck in my head. itās so damn creepy, i hate it. but i also love it. being from a dream sequence movie that relies heavily on the soundtrack and sound design, this song is perfect. David Lynch knew what he wanted for this song and he made it happen.Ā
-āTake Fiveā by Paul Desmond / The Dave Brubeck Quartet thereās a reason this song is a jazz standard. just something about a silly time signature, a solo saxophone, a two chord syncopated vamp, and the drums chilling on the (ride?) cymbalĀ and this song is kinda special to me as itās one of the first songs that really got me into jazz. and my schoolās jazz band almost played it but our director thought it was too difficult and we didnāt have the time to learn it. iām still pretty salty about that :(
-āgood 4 uā by Olivia Rodrigo bandle in 5 on this one. and honestly thatās how i remembered this song existed and found out i actually love it lol. the genre hint was pop punk and im like āolivia rodrigoās pop punk?ā and then i put this on and im like āhell yeah she isāĀ i hate that i can almost relate to the lyrics too. iām going through that canon event in a girls life of that guy sheās never dated. and i used to see him everyday in school and we talked, kinda. but now that schools done, now what? and i really like him and tried to put effort into our relationship, even just as friends. but heās barely trying, and still has the gall to call me a dear friend and ask what im doing FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE. ok rant over. š you will find me head banging over this song and you cannot stop me.Ā

š§can we normalize not knowing genres or the nitty gritty of why you like a song and accept that some people just like it based on vibes? (itās me. iām some people)
-āFrom The Startā by Good Kid covers often are hit or miss, but this is an absolute banger. somehow combining the jazz of the orginal Laufey tune with indie rock is everything anyone could possibly need and more. plus the indie rock makes the heartthrob of the lyrics hit so much harder. the delivery of the lyrics is just š itās just the perfect song to belt out and i love it so much
-āSaturday Sunā by Vance Joy indie folk!!! highly recommend!!! this shit is amazing!! the good vibes and the hope this song brings is just it.Ā something something being in love and being happy. this song is just great
-āAbout A Girlā by Nirvana I really like grunge rock apparently. depressing grunge rock. and this is depressing as shit. just- it- yeah i donāt even know what to say about this song. itās great and sad and- yeah yay! unhealthy relationships! (ahhhhhh)
-āSilver Springsā by Fleetwood Mac i already posted aboutĀ Rumours, but this is my favorite off the album, and itās not even actually on the original album. passing this over for āI Donāt Want To Knowā was certainly a choice, but i wasnāt alive in 1977 so what do i care? (i love both songs) in terms of the actual song, i donāt have a marriage thatās coming to a tulmoltuous end, but the feminine rage emitted from this song is everything. if you aināt singing your heart out in the second half, youāre doing it wrong.
