SONGS IM LISTENING TO NOW

there is no rhyme or reason to my taste in music. when i say i listen to everything, i mean EVERYTHING i am in no way, shape, or form good at music analysis. this is all based purely on vibes. i like music. how much do i need to explain? -Currents by Tame Impala the entire album. this is me getting into the psychedelic, dance type beat. and i really like it. it’s different but still similar to the pop that i typically enjoy. my favorites off the album are “Moments”, “Let It Happen”, “Cause I’m A Man”, and “The Less I Know The Better”. despite being this funky synth stuff, it’s all still super depressing. the lyrics are just like that. and as someone who has been deeply in her feels recently, this is exactly what i need. and on a similar note, -“Borderline” by Tame Impala same gist as Currents. except this song is more about the stoner stuff (which i am not) but it’s still a bop. i love the funk i love the synth i love the lyrics and the overall vibe. -“Here With Me” by d4vd i think i found this one off of some indie playlist Spotify made (yes i know it’s also a TikTok song). but i really like it. it’s the perfect song to belt out and be sad i don’t have a partner to. it’s just one of those songs that hits you in the feels. and, again, lots of feels are happening lately. and with this one, i’ve got this crush i can’t shake, and this song definitely does not help it. but i still love to sing it and be delusional.  lol so i posted this song on my Instagram note and my best friend replies “ooooh who is this about?” and i go “no one unfortunately i just like the song 😭” and her response is just “😭😭😭” -“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones i play two The Rolling Stones songs and now my mom won’t stop calling me an ‘old soul’. but its among The Rolling Stones’ most popular songs, like?  but still, i like the older rock stuff like this. the guitar and the bass and the drums and the tambourine and the vocals are just peak.  granted i can’t really relate to the sexual frustration and commercialism, but do i really need to in order to like the song? -“All Star” by Smash Mouth slightly out of left field with this one, but as i said, my taste in music is all over the place.  we all know and love the alternative rock and power punk (yes i stole this right from Wikipedia) of the song. and this song ofc was part of my recent Smash Mouth binge… but outside of the memes, this song is a bop. everything just works. it’s great. i have no idea what the hell im saying cuz im shit at musical analysis but I LIKE THE SONG. DO I HAVE TO SAY WHY. WE ALL LIKE THE SONG SO WHY SHOULD I EXPLAIN WHEN THERES NO POINT ok rant over. lol i like music. i listen to a lot of it. and this all is kinda just to expose my music tastes because honestly, i have a pretty good taste in music if i do say so myself.

Listening to music before bed

I know it’s a fairly common thing but I’ve recently come so fond of listening to two or three songs before I go to bed. In a way that I kind of just stare at the wall and think of the day and contemplate but I can’t help but feel (I know this sounds dumb) that it’s these like end credits to a really lovely movie. Except it’s my day?!! I dunno very dumb. I sometimes try to fall asleep with this music playing in my ears or behind my head tucked beneath the pillow so I can prolong this like climactic emotional expression to capstone the day. It always frustrates me when I eventually do have to sleep, turn the music off, and go off to dream in the quiet ambience of my room. My brain does sometimes keep the music blasting even without my earphones though which is very kind. Music I feel justifies all these things happening in my life. As if it doesn’t hold value if the songs I listen to aren’t played. It’s like you watch a movie that you just love and sorta sit in awe as the credits roll and the music swells. That’s how I feel about my day most nights! At least lately that is. Really lovely music squeezing my brain into an appreciative analysing ritual of the day. I’m just yapping at this point but I can definitely attribute this to always having this deep urge for my life to amount to something worth telling a story about. I watch so many amazing movies and I think it would be such a waste to have the only amazing experiences I witness come from outside my life. Soooooooooo #romanticiseyourownlife I guess?? Just felt the need to express it. I had a good wall watching session just then listening to Broken Social Scenes album ‘You Forgot It In People’ (too many bangers) and I couldn’t help but speak my mind about it :)

the broader your scope, the more full your life is

I think this can be applied to a lot of different areas of life, but for the purpose of this post I’m focusing on music specifically. I love music. It may be my most favorite thing in life. Everyone has a different relationship with music and we all interact with our favorite songs differently. Some people play a song 100 times in a row. Some listen once and move to the next. Some have 156 favorite artists and some have 4. My personal favorite thing about music is that there’s so much of it to like. And just like how each person has many complexities, so can the things we enjoy. I love Scott Walker, I love Gracie Abrams, I love the Sundays, Clairo, Gaga…it doesn’t matter. Like the things you like because it speaks to your soul.

Being useful >> being happy

i sense the most reliable path to true contentment and fulfilment in this life may be found by focusing not on ‘what will make me happy’ but on ‘how can I be useful to those I love and my community’.... the two are by no means mutually exclusive and i believe the first can only ever be found through the second.
