My aboslute favourite band!!! my chemical romance has a lot of nostalgia factor for me. I started listening to them post middle school breakup (i know, very fitting) ꒰ᐢ. ̫ .ᐢ꒱but that was a lot for me. It was a pretty awful relationship, but i would relive it just so that i'd be pushed to listen to mcr for the first time again

the most beautifully written songs holy shit i cannot fully describe the feeling you get whilst listening to songs from meredith. I love the way she composes music in such a raw authentic way, the guitar and harmonies just flow together seamlessly. I've been lisenting to them since 2015-16 through youtube reccommendations, and found her bandcamp. I wish i could buy a physical cd.. but I'm broke as hell. One day ill get it!! I need to put my cd player to use

this month was a whirlwind of emotions and complicated feelings. i havent been listening to music that much recently, which bums me out. i drown the silence with the voices of podcasts and videos that i care very little about, just to pass the time. saying all this, i still have a few that really stuck out to me.
james marriott has been a casual listen for me. its surprising how his time on youtube has surpassed the point of drama videos and now i listen to his music genuinely. his newest release follows the trend of his previous songs, very lyric-heavy, but simple. repetitive in a good way. he reminds me of girl in red, very love song-ey, but in a good way. he doesnt romanticize the toxic aspects of a traditional relationship, and he doesnt shy away from questioning love as a whole in his work. im not sure if its just how i've been feeling recently, but his songs have helped me a lot nowadays, through my own relationship troubles.
"If you were the one, I’ve had a few; It’s only love, it’s nothing new anymore" stuck with me. maybe you arent the one, maybe i was just thinking too much, and maybe im not well, but its only love, and its only you."
what can i say, i love steven universe. its just dawned on me that steven universe was aired over a decade ago, and now i feel ultra old. though i only watched it around 2020, its stuck with me these last five years, unlike any cartoon has before. sure i loved adventure time, but i was way too young to understand the stories behind it. regular show was funny, but most episodes were filler heavy. i feel like steven universe was the first to balance the appetitie of the adult fanbase and the younger audience as well; its lore was explained gradually, hited at and progressed slowly as oppossed to shocking the viewer with this downpour of information that (i) the younger audience couldnt grasp yet. but as the series progressed, i felt myself growing with it. it started as a kids show full of silly but interesting episodes, to steven universe futures more explosive and heavy topics of ptsd, parentification, and child abuse. i just thought this song represented my feelings toward the show, and how i mourn and enjoy it even after all this time. its also pretty relatable without the shows context, which i enjoy as well. its timeless, i love it!.
i've been really getting into j-punk more! this song was an ad on instagram that i really enjoyed. though i couldnt find any lyrics for it online (english or japanese), i still really enjoyed the vocals, guitar, and drum on this song. i saw it in this article and i tried to pick up anything i could about the meaning of this song but, pff no luck. i guess they're pretty local to japan , seeing as bands like default, sayonara ponytail, and soutaiseirion have a small english speaking audience, even with their relatively small size. overall, i still really enjoyed the song! looking forward to following this band and heres to hoping they get bigger! (so i can understand them). their other songs bring that rock vibe that ive been really missing, especially with the shina-chans nana-like voice—her style really drew me in. another song i enjoyed from them is KOISEYOOTOME, her voice cracks just really brought this vibe to the whole song. even though i didnt understand it, i knew it was definately a sad love song. it was a really good listen as well, but i didnt know enough about it to give it its own section (◞‸◟)
