#i do have spotify i just hate

[sojourner-between-worlds]

Because of who I am as a person, I decided to trim the fat from my 5Ds playlist and make a top 30 version that is actually semi-organized.

Have fun.

(List -- with notes -- below the cut)

***Mostly chronological order of what part of the series they best reflect. Some are in "off" places because I felt they fit better there, musically or thematically when listening. ***When I label one as "All Signers", that includes Rua/Lua/Leo since he's such an integral part of the group even before he gets his mark at the end. ***Also, presented with a lil bit of commentary because of who I am as a person, lol. ***I am hoping this list is the correct order, as I have moved things around a lot to get an order I liked, haha, but all of these are on there.

The Greatest Show - The Greatest Showman (Riding Duels, the general Vibe of the series, haha)

Catalyst - Linkin Park (Satellite)

Young - Hollywood Undead (All Signers)

Child of the Stars - Fish in a Bird Cage (Yusei, pre-series but with Foreshadowing)

Kings - Tribe Society (Jack, pre-series, Team Satisfaction era and on)

Paper Crown - Alec Benjamin (Aki, pre-series)

Counting Stars - OneRepublic (Crow, pre-series, Team Satisfaction era on)

Renegades - ONE OK ROCK (All Signers, a bit of a transition into the start of the series)

Who I Am - Citizen Soldier (Yusei and Aki, Fortune Cup)

Brick by Boring Brick - Paramore (Aki, pre-series through second duel with Yusei)

Relate - for King & Country (All Signers)

We Are - ONE OK ROCK (All Signers)

Feed the Machine - Poor Mans Poison (Rex Godwin, Satellite)

Watching As I Fall - Mike Shinoda (Pre-series Kiryu/Kalin.)

Ready As I’ll Ever Be - Tangled: the Series (Signers vs Dark Signers. I could break this one down line by line, but I will spare you all unless you, ya know, want to know or something)

Soldier, feat. Fluerie - Tommee Profitt (Yusei; fits the entire series but considering just how many duels this poor boy has, I felt it was fitting to have it be the finale song for the first half of the series, coupled with the next one.)

In Search of Tomorrow - Zack Hemsey (This one is weird simply because it's instrumental, but I think it fits nicely to close the first half and lead into the second.)

Unbreakable - Fireflight (Aki, associated specifically with her getting her license)

Higher - The Score (Crow, associated specifically with him getting hurt, missing the first prelim, and then coming back for the next)

Hell’s Comin’ With Me - Poor Mans Poison (Crashtown Kiryu/Kalin; originally associated with the DS but then I got to thinking about how much it fits after they escape the mines and since I have fewer songs for the second half of the series, it landed here. But it's for both, okay? Both.)

Battle Scars - Paradise Fears (Team 5Ds vs Team Taiyo; originally just associated this song with the Signers but their journeys mirror each other so well and...yeah.)

Brother - Kodaline (Yusei, Jack, Crow; I had no idea where to fit this one in so I selected a semi-random location and here it is, lol.)

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush, metal cover by Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles (Aporia and Team Ragnarok; an odd combination of characters, but somehow it just works, considering.)

Strike Back - Fairy Tail OP16, English cover by NateWantsToBattle (All Signers; for real this could have been the opening instead and I would kill to have someone make an opening to this song for the finale arc.)

Where the Skies End - Starset (Yusei)

The Hero - Nathan Wagner (Yusei and Z-ONE; I love the dichotomy of their stories so much. I am so normal about this.)

SCAVA - Hollywood Undead (Z-ONE et al)

Memories - Maroon 5 (Bruno)

The World You Want - Switchfoot (Yusei)

See You Again, feat. Charlie Puth - Wiz Khalifa (The Departure)

I was a brat last night and I have to share it with y’all because I cannot stop laughing about it.

Important note before I get into the story: Squid is my cousin (14).

Fun fact about the note: I was babysitting him about 7ish years ago overnight, woke up with a massive headache. He tried to show me a drawing he had done and I tried to say “that’s so cute, kid,” but what came out was “Squid.” He was like “did you just call me Squid??” and it stuck.

Squid has a Xbox in his room and he generally uses it to play Spotify on. When I open Spotify on my phone, it asks me if I want to join Squid’s jam. Most of the time, I say no.

Last night, I decided to say yes.

I added the song “Feel Good, Inc.” by the Gorillaz to the queue. I’m giggling to myself from my room across the hall. The song starts and he immediately skips it.

“That little shit,” I said while adding the song to the queue again. I let his current song get to about the halfway mark before I skipped to my song and turned the volume up.

Suddenly, I’ve been kicked from the jam session, and I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. Squid came into my room: “what the fuck are you doing?” He’s mad and I’m crying with laughter. “I know it was you! It told me that Yeet joined the session!!”

I collected myself a bit and wiped my eyes. “It’s a good song, isn’t it?”

He groaned and went to leave the room. He spun around. “You aren’t going to do it again, are you?”

“No, of course not!” I said while giggling again.

“Why do I not believe you,” he grumbled while leaving my room and closing the door.

I waited. I bided my time. About an hour has passed and I knew he was about to fall asleep.

I opened Spotify again. I joined the jam again…

I queued up “Feels Good, Inc.” by the Gorillaz again and I wait. Patiently. I let his long ass (8 minutes!!) song play out.

My song started.

The screech that came from his room had me laughing so hard I almost peed myself.

they say once you get bit, a little bit of the pain stays

[wewontbesleeping]

i think deciding whether to stream the standard or the deluxe version of an album causes me way more stress than is necessary. i don't think it really matters that much. but it really bothers me lol.
