Underrated “extremely specific situation song” is “The Old Apartment” by The Barenaked Ladies, because from the very first line- “Broke into the old apartment”- the entire song is engineered to parse as a depiction of a Harry DuDois-teir toxic breakup, with the narrator having broken into his exes apartment to desperately harass her about “old times.” And then in the second-to-last verse the narrator clarifies that all that actually happened is that he and his girlfriend moved to a better apartment, and are in fact still happily together, and this entire time he’s been singing at the extremely afraid and confused current tenants who’ve never seen him before in their life and can’t understand why he’s broken down the door to their apartment in order to yell at them about their shitty taste in interior design.

truly shocked that TERFs glommed onto this post to name transfem artists to the point that OP had to disable reblogs. shocking and no way to possibly have foreseen this happening. hey remember when Grimes made this exact argument about Sophie

[lalaloobzy]

i was engaged previously and had a song in mind i wanted to dance to w my dad at the wedding and that relationship ended and i'm in another one that will probably lead to marriage and i plan on using that same song and when i mentioned that to someone i know they said that was weird? to reuse the song? but like it's my same ass dad

Today's earworm is "Don't Look Back" (Boston)

Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'

It's been too long since I felt this way

I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken

The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize

I'm much too strong not to compromise

Now I see what I am is holding me down

I'll turn it around

Oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'

I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon, ooh, and I'm awakin'

I see myself in a brand new way

The sun is shinin', ooh, the clouds are breakin'

'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

how did this audience not react at all to this absolute gem. if I was in the crowd and he told this joke I’d be screaming like a hyena with laughter

[parliamentoftreees]

why is my bnl hyperfixation lowkey coming back

[lock-my-feelings-in-a-jar]

hello, i just wanna say that i really like you even thou we don't have much the same taste but i think you are a very nice person <3 hope you have a nice day today

omg thank you so much!! you seem very nice too!

AND my tastes tend to shift quite a lot over time and i do like a lot more music than what i post(even if i do get stuck on one specific band/type of music for a long time, i like just about any music at all). i'm also always interested in learning more about the ones that i don't know very well yet, so if you or anyone else ever wants to info/song/video/album dump about favorite bands or things to me, on anon or not, i would love it.

even if there is something that isn't really my thing, i like understanding what other people like about it, which makes me like it a little bit more too, if only for that reason alone.

the entire reason i made my blog in the first place was to learn about bands and to feel less alone while doing that. especially ones that i've always heard of but didn't really KNOW anything about and there are SO MANY out there, i'm just slowly picking some off that particularly stand out to me at the moment one by one. but i still like to learn about any of them, preferably from a person instead of searching. plus there are too many, i couldn't possibly search everything myself.

ANYWAY aaaaaa i hope you have a nice day too!! and week. and month and year and life.

[monstrousmaws]
