Tell me a song…
Added 2024-04-28 21:38:25 +0000 UTCThat speaks to you lyrically!
I say it a ton in my reactions how lyrics to me are everything, they can create a vibe, express a feeling you have that you can’t articulate yourself, move and inspire you!
If you have a song that you’d like me to pay attention specifically to the lyrics, drop it in the comments!

2024-06-04 02:19:07 +0000 UTCI have to add to this…this put me on a emo music rabbit hole lol. I did a radio mix on Spotify and The Great Escape by BOYS LIKE GIRLS came on - talk about instant flood of memories. This song always reminds me of my aunt who passed away from breast cancer. She was my favorite aunt, I always looked forward to talking to her about life. My dad says I remind him of her; she was his little sister. Whenever this song plays, I always think of her singing it at the last birthday party I saw her at before she passed away.

2024-04-30 05:17:04 +0000 UTCUpiko : Crow Link: This song has spoken to me since I first heard it reminding me of my past, but not how I am now. Upiko is a singer/songwriter who went to Tokyo with nothing but a guitar on her back and has been playing clubs but this is her first official video and single. She writes music about things that are meaningful for her. the lyrics to this song explain better then I can what she wrote it about. I think remembering the times you struggled helps you appreciate what you have now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-40A3xSEx0 (subtitled official video)

2024-04-30 03:15:57 +0000 UTCThere are many by a band called Marianas Trench that I love. They make the most beautiful album opener songs and this one has forever been my favorite (from their 3rd album). I have the lyrics tattooed on my collar bone. This is Ever After: https://youtu.be/zrT4lbbybPc?si=vHjVA3-lZ0lfs The lead singer who writes all their music is fantastic at what he does and they are working on a new album now (number 6) and they just put out the opener as their first track which they have never done. Each album has a theme/story line and they are just masterpieces. In an interview talking about his music he says "I don't like to talk to much about what the music means to me specifically because I think the important thing is what it means to someone else when they listen to it" That short 50sec clip is here if interested: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6FktEWr3_1/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 3fi

2024-04-30 02:09:01 +0000 UTCTota - Tsumugu Here are the english translation of the lyrics: A drop fell from the watery place The world looked distorted and wavy Even important things are shrouded in cloudy sky And shadows hide, looking downwards Even though it will be plucked someday The flower blooms beautifully So it won’t wither If this song is played So the sky may cry and you can smile So the wind may sing and you can hear Like the clouds swaying in my heart Faintly, fragile, but still strong Now, just sing So it can reach you The rainbow will come and connect us Before saying goodbye, I’ll look back and say “I live happily in the sky” Tears fall when I look up This is where I want to live Because I haven’t given up on happiness with you So the sky may cry and you can smile So the wind may sing and you can hear Like the clouds swaying in my heart Fleeting, fragile So the sky may cry and you can smile So the wind may sing and you can hear Like the clouds swaying in my heart In the starry sky, where even the air is clear Now, I just wish That tomorrow will come Until the day we can hold hands again The rainbow will come and connect us. Yes sad lyrics, but these really bring back memories of those I have lost in the past. Also give glimmers of hope and reconciliation in the future. I cried the first time I heard and read these lyrics! All from a 15? year old japanese singer! Here is the link https://youtu.be/NDwqZIXOvKw?si=j2-WhdIijBLjYIyA

2024-04-30 02:08:06 +0000 UTCAt a very low point in my life a song came on while I was driving home and I had to pull over as the tears flowed, it triggered so much in me and was helped me heal through tears that washed depression away & spoke to me about choices made that I knew weren’t right for me and made me see through the mask of what I projected to who I really was so long ago - Something More by Second Hand Serenade. Also I song that moves me every time I hear it and is just as true now as the day it was written - He’s Not Heavy He’s My Brother by The Hollies.

2024-04-29 03:56:06 +0000 UTC“scared of my guitar” by Olivia Rodrigo. so many layers to this story telling. it’s one thing to play guitar and sing about a failing relationship. peel another layer and it’s about not wanting to play guitar because don’t want to face reality. peel another layer and it’s about her coming to terms, “settling” in the relationship. there’s one part in the song that the vocals sounds like a Jeff Buckley style vocal. great stuff

2024-04-29 03:15:37 +0000 UTCLately I've been listening to Alexandra Kay. Love all of her songs. But the two that hit me emotionally are Everleave and That's what love is. Everleave especially because I've been in a couple of long term relationships where they were toxic but it took a lot for me to finally walk away. And not look back. That's what love is touched my heart. I'm a single mom of a 12 year old who was born prematurely and autistic. I'm raising her completely on my own. We've struggled but our bond is very tight.

2024-04-29 03:02:24 +0000 UTCHow could I not have listed these first: “Wounded Heart” and “The Ones We Couldn’t Be” by Bonnie Raitt. Some songs make you feel exposed to the world, as if the feelings and memories they evoke in you are so strong that other people around you can feel and seem them. Songwriting is truly a gift.

2024-04-28 22:38:19 +0000 UTCNot sure if this pertains to songs you’ve reacted to or just songs in general, but Little Miss Why So by The Amazing Devil. Anything by this band is great for lyrics honestly, they’re so evocative and have this fantastic way of mythologizing the modern and mundane. This is both my favorite song of theirs and just of all time, such a poignant, honest, raw description of depression and a love that just isn’t quite enough. Edit: no lyric videos or closed captions on audio exist, so I made my own lyric video for this one sdfsfds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAIQfZ-ke3o

2024-04-28 21:47:03 +0000 UTCThere's a combo of Taylor Swift songs from 1989 that really speak to me, especially because besides the 'outro' song, they bookend the 1989 tour (which is on the EAS channel, filmed in Sidney - https://youtu.be/P5JLMp08GC0?si=-GIseFSDYZuoAoeB). The songs are Welcome to New York (the very start of the concert) and Out of the Woods, at timestamp 1:49. The lyric parallels are: (Welcome to New York:) Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats (Out of the Woods:) You took a polaroid of us, then discovered / the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color The thing I love about this is the feeling of secret knowing. In WTNY, it's the knowing that everyone in this vibrant city around you is as alive and creative as you are, even in the cold of winter when you can't see their work or their excitement. In OOTW, it's the hidden knowledge of this powerful love, one that is so alive and bright that the rest of the world seems colorless in comparison. edit: also, THANK YOU for this, because these two are like a live wire inside my head and I keep wanting to share them with people, and I feel like you can't just walk up to someone and talk about it, you know? Love your reactions, tons of love!
