#AND GOD IS IN THE RHYTHM MAKES ME NOSTALGIC AND MADE ME CRY LOL

God is in the Rhythm

[katierosefun]

Helloo friend!! I was wondering do you have any song recs that made you cry or come close to tears whether because of the lyrics or melody or something else?? Bonus points if it's platonic 👀🥰

helllloo, ann! funny you ask, because why yes, i do have some songs that make me cry / come close to tears because of the lyrics / melody! so a brief list of some songs that have been really hitting hard for some reason:

we made it. by david hugo: 

tbh this could be romantic or platonic or like? also in some interpretations, i can almost see this as a letter to oneself. but anyways, the refrain just makes me happy / gives me coming-of-age movie vibes, and just....god, the lyrics “you thought that you’d never be enough / thank god that he didn’t take you / it’s hard, but each breath’s a breakthrough” just makes me :’)) (and then “time heals if you let it / feel pain and then forget it / it’ll get easier”....no shut up i’ve been crying about this song for the last few weeks now.) 

my play by ajr: 

i’ve been listening to this song......a lot these days for.....a fic i’m writing, but anyways, it’s just one of those songs where you’re like “huh this is odd, how specific to sing about putting on a play for your parents when you’re a kid” to “oh god oh no i’m crying oh no”. it’s such a gut-wrencher, and i think ajr just went super raw with this song? you realize quickly that this song is mostly about divorce and also like. this desperate feeling of just. wanting your life to be the same and also not being too trusting of love because “if love dies, why do we fucking bother?”, and all of it just......stems from everything’s complicated and love is complicated and from a child’s point of view, you just. want your parents to be together. my own parents aren’t divorced, but i think this song can really, really speak to anyone who has ever felt desperate in trying to hold people together / being scared of love / etc. it’s just. god. such a gut-puncher. 

find something good in iowa to believe in by anton sanko [from the half of it movie soundtrack]:

this piece doesn’t have any lyrics--it’s just instrumental, but i feel both so full and so empty whenever i’m listening to it, if that makes sense? maybe because i’m just thinking of the movie and the scene that plays with this piece. it’s just a lovely piece in general. really gentle. will remind you of new beginnings and the autumn wind and leaving your hometown for a new chapter. 

sparkle by radwimp [from your name movie soundtrack]: so this song is mostly just piano, but also japanese lyrics. now, i don’t know japanese, but i watched this movie, and it’s beautiful, but also? also i just love this piece because i actually heard it before watching the movie. the movie’s rather romantic, but like. anyways. the melody alone will fill you with hope and just. :’))) it’s nine minutes long, but it’s a wonderful nine minutes. 

this is kind of a wild card, but the second star to the right by jonatha brooke [from peter pan: return to neverland movie soundtrack]: has been a song that i’ve been listening to a bit. lol so when i was little, i actually watched the second peter pan movie before the first one, so that’s probably why this movie is closer to my heart, and like. this song just. is very nostalgic, but i think more than that, i think it just. makes me come super close to tears because the whole premise of this movie is about a girl who’s trying to grow up really fast, but like. you know. she’s still a kid, and stories about fairies shouldn’t be something she feels like she needs to leave behind. lol i wonder why this song hits so hard! :D

remember your smile by haze moon: haha. ha. you want to cry? this song will make you cry because there’s literally someone crying in this song. tbh, this could kind of be seen as a romantic or platonic song, because it’s just. it’s just about missing someone a lot. also, the sound of rain plays over this song, so it’s like. one of those songs that you listen to while curled up in bed at 2 am because suddenly you really miss someone you hadn’t thought about in a while. 

sky in the sea by haze moon, isowys: bro. i’ve been thinking about this song a lot lately. it’s mostly just about like. getting better and healing after something that really hurt you and it’s just. bro. you know that scene in any book / movie / tv show where the protagonist slowly gets up from the floor / the ground, and they’ve been beaten over and over and over again and they might be exhausted and tired, but like. they still get up? and they look at their antagonist / villain and the music swells because look at the beauty in standing up and marching forward and refusing to kneel over again? bro. this is the song that i think you’d want playing in the background as a character marches forward just because there’s this rhythm to this song that both makes you feel here and not, and it’s so beautiful. 

anyways lol sorry for the long list, but....yes, as you can tell........there are many songs. that have been making me almost cry / actually cry because they’re so. good.

To my darling anon~

There are WAY too many songs that I love and most of which I can only remember once they come on. But after going through my 300 song playlist I narrowed it down to several songs that I like a lot or I have attachment too. I’m also gonna add a read more to this cause uh i realized i got a lot of words to say and more songs than I thought hehe~

Current Favorites:

Side Effects by Stray Kids

-I just can’t get this song out of my head and felt like I needed to put it in here. It’s just so beautifully crafted and deals with a lot of broad topics, while still having that wonderful stray kids vibe.

Honey by Lay

-I can’t help but dance when this song comes on. It has that chill beat that I love and nothing could stop me from swaying to its beat.

Favorites:

M.I.A. and 19 by Stray Kids (literally any stray kids song though)

-Both of these songs have the same rhythm and beat that I really love. As well as the message in both of the songs I can really connect to and they really help calm me down when I get anxious or something.

She’s in the rain by The Rose

-It’s just so solemn and I sway my head side to side and just can’t help but almost cry when it comes on. It’s just so perfect and honestly gives me Maroon 5 vibes (I grew up on them too lol) and I just connect really deeply with the lyrics.

Honeysuckle and False Prise by Voss Rollins

-So my cousin is the one who actually made this song but i just really like it?? The words, the voices and the rhythm just stick with me and I can never get bored of it. The lyrics are really deep and connect well with me and so that’s another big factor for me. Plus it helps me feel connected to him even though we don’t get to see each other anymore.

8Teen by Khalid

-I am a very big Khalid fan (more for his music not like him if you get me) and I really love this song! It makes me feel a lot towards being a teenager and its a song I want to associate my youth with. 

Disconnected by 5 seconds of summer

-I was and still am 5sos trash, and their early ep’s were my absolute favorite. This song has been my favorite since it came out and I just can’t help but nod my head and grin when it comes on. It just holds a very nostalgic feeling for me as well as that lovesick vibe that im a sucker for. 

First Love by BTS

-I heard this song and read over the lyrics and felt so deeply connected to it. Yoongi is talking about his first love (the piano) and just felt so much about it. While my first love wasn’t the piano like Yoongi i could connect it to my actual first love. 

Songs I love and have a lot of nostalgic feelings towards (i don’t want to write these paragraphs anymore lol this is getting really long sorry love):

Wonderwall by Oasis

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s

Come as you are by Nirvana

Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra

Sunday Morning and She Will be Loved by Maroon 5

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

Stand By Me by Ben E. King

Song that follows me everywhere I go and I literally can’t get away from it im pretty sure I was cursed by a God:

Africa by toto or one of the many variations (tends to be the weezer one)
