Songs that make you feel some type of way

Posts

To date, there's a small handful of songs I use as "key music" to get me in the right mood before writing. This particular one fills me with a sense of overwhelming, almost paralyzing dread.

It starts unlike any other song I've ever listened to, a grim reminder that what we're dealing with isn't human.

I've been hugely fond of this particular piece for at least a week. It starts unlike any song I've ever heard, harsh and sweeping, like a reminder that what you're dealing with isn't human. The subsequent sections evoke a scene of ruthless and blisteringly-fast naval combat under stormy skies. On the occasions I've shut the lights and immersed myself in the moment, listening to this has filled me with the most horrible sense of dread.

Listening to this song fills me with such hope. I'd love to be known as someone's sister, someday...

Ahh, there's nothing like hearing this after a long day 'a work. Hifumi's voice is like honey to the ears; makes my troubles all melt away.

It's a comforting sort of melancholy. I pray that I'll hear this in the moments before I pass.

Oddly enough, sometimes I wish I still had final exams. I'd get up super-early, grab an extra cuppa joe, and jog a quarter-mile to get myself pumped, all whilst listening to awesome music like this.

Anyone playing MCC on PC, by the way?

It's my favorite game series

Heya hun, that's awesome! It's too bad more folks don't have it here; I'd love to run some custom games, or even hop into matchmaking with y'all. ^^

Man... Love hurts sometimes, doesn't it? I still think it's the best feeling in the world. <3

Stumbled across this little number yesterday, and I'm not sure why it ain't more popular. Something about this era of Deco's music really speaks to me, for some reason... Maybe it was the spirit of the era, and I pine for those days at heart, but songs like these transport me to an ideal world where I can feel a warmth and connection to everyone around me. It wouldn't matter if I were a stranger in a new city. As I crested the tallest hill at sunset and peered out over the glittering bay, all I'd see would be an endless playground peopled with potential new friends and new adventures just waiting to be had.

I'm sure I'll find that place, somethin' like it, someday... <3

Saturday morning when I found myself in an empty house, I stumbled across this video in my reccs and immediately became obsessed with it. Mighta even danced a little, heheh~. I feel like it hearkens back to the simpler, more innocent times in my life. Both the first few weeks of this grueling pandemic here in the US, and the brief stints when I could really be carefree and take it easy.

Now that things are looking a bit sunnier for me, especially after my first surgery, I can't help but associate this with a feeling of rebirth, or resurgence. Those carefree days might finally be coming back, soon. ^~^




I've known this song for about 6 years, and overall, it's hits the bittersweet just right. 
A lot has happened in that time, and it's nice to look back and think about how things have changed and why.
I feel like over time i've been able to appreciate the song more. It also is just plain soothing, with a mix of relaxing calm moment to smooth buildups.
I think I'll be thinking about this song all my life, and I'm looking forward to it.

These past few days, I've been unable to sleep. Not since one of my closest friends started exhibiting the early signs of schizophrenia.

I'm gonna try my level best to help her, of course. She's a treasure to me - it's the least I could do. But whenever I'm alone at night like this, I can't help but have visions of the things we could've done together.

If only I wasn't so sickly... Ahh, god, dammit. This just ain't fair... ;_;

God that must be an unbearable feeling. Wishing all the best to you and your friend. <3

Thank you, Loko-san... Coming from you, that means quite a lot... <3
