this series is never going to end
-“Manchild” by Sabrina Carpenter
this song is so condescending of himbos and i think it’s the funniest thing. its so catchy and i love it! the chorus is- i can’t think of any other word to describe it other than adorable… which… 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 it’s amazing.
-“Disco” 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)
-“In Heaven” from Eraserhead
so i’m not willingly listening to this song, but it’s unfortunately been stuck in my head. it’s 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.
-“Take Five” by Paul Desmond / The Dave Brubeck Quartet
there’s 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?) cymbal
and this song is kinda special to me as it’s one of the first songs that really got me into jazz. and my school’s jazz band almost played it but our director thought it was too difficult and we didn’t have the time to learn it. i’m still pretty salty about that :(
-“good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo
bandle in 5 on this one. and honestly that’s how i remembered this song existed and found out i actually love it lol. the genre hint was pop punk and im like “olivia rodrigo’s pop punk?” and then i put this on and im like “hell yeah she is”
i hate that i can almost relate to the lyrics too. i’m going through that canon event in a girls life of that guy she’s 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 he’s 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. 😅
you will find me head banging over this song and you cannot stop me.
