Lyrics from Apocalypse - Cigarettes After Sex

When you're all alone I'll reach for you When you're feelin' low I'll be there too

[collegetennisoriginstory]

hi sorry if this was asked before but tumblr search isn’t working? but i was wondering if you have a playlist or some song recommendation that go well since i’m planning to reread and catch up on your lovely game !! <33

Edit: Started a crowsourced playlist to compile songs, feel free to contribute / put in the songs that remind you of each character :)

Oh nooo I don't know what I tagged all the song recs folks have been sending in as, because I tried "song rec" and "song recs" in my featured tags and both don't work hahaha I'm so bad at using tumblr it's kinda funny this is my main mode of reader/player interaction xD

But hmm let's see, I did save a couple into a playlist for writing previously, but they're combined with the Merry Crisis recs. I'll just list a few that i feel fit, but taking recs from y'all and i promise I'll tag properly this time and create a separated CT:OS playlist 😅

Sam: Photos from when we were young by Nana Grizol, Always on my mind by Willie Nelson (more for the lyrics rather than the old-school vibe), There till the end by Jerub, and Lucky by Colbie Caillat (because it appears in the IF :P), Come back home by Lauv

Rayyan: Fuck it! by Days 'N Daze, Backwards directions by Abby Sage, Waves by Dean Lewis, House of the Rising Sun by the Animals, Not done yet by SOJA, Why Am I Like This? by Orla Gartland, Indigo Night by Tamino

Tobin: If you love me by Brenda Lee, Nothing without you by Tanarélle, Killing me softly by Frank Sinatra/Roberta Flack. First Love/Late Spring by Mitski, My Love Mine All Mine by Mitski

G: August by Taylor Swift, Apocalypse by Cigarettes after Sex, Place de la République by Cœur de pirate, Dis, quand reviendras-tu by Barbara, Born To Die by Lana Del Rey and Real by Years & Years

Dad: Badlands by Bruce Springsteen but tbh just. Springsteen in general.

I feel like if Kai had a partner who introduced him to some modern music he would be into the band cigarettes after sex

oooh okay, so admittedly i had never listened to this band before getting this ask, so i immediately went and listened to most of their discography! after that, i can confidently agree he would be a fan.

no warnings below, the "keep reading" feature is only there to divide the long-ish post!

first of all, i love the idea of him being with someone who introduces him to all the great music he missed out on. he'd probably be so happy to hear something other than pre-1994 music, and would definitely lean towards that grunge sound. he still loves a lot of his 90s music, but is excited to hear what the new decades have brought up.

you'd be equally excited to play it for him, because it's one of your favorites, and matches his vibe. maybe you put it on as background music, driving in the car or while you're cooking. at first, he just enjoys the tune, but then he really listens to the lyrics.

maybe, also, you play it for him when he has trouble sleeping because of nightmares keeping him up. sometimes it works immediately, but sometimes he just stares at the ceiling and listens. on those nights, whether or not he falls asleep, he's able to relax.

i can see him kinda staring at the wall and just letting the lyrics melt into his brain. some of the songs bring him back to his childhood & he is reminded of the pain it brought. some songs make him think of you & how much he loves you & values the relationship the two of you share.

also, a lot of people have told me "seven" (taylor swift) reminds them of kai's childhood, to which i completely agree. but i was listening to "apocalypse" (cigs after sex) while driving home from work the other day and picked out these lyrics,

sharing all your secrets with each other, since you were kids

sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you, clutched in your fist

and felt like they related the lyrics in "seven," which then relates back to kai. once i get more into this band, i may come back to this post and drop more songs / lyrics that really stick out to me about him!

anon, thank you for introducing me to this wonderful band! i've been a nonstop listener since receiving this ask 🩷🩷 [also, if you have specific songs of theirs that make you think of kai / think he'd especially like, i'd love to know which ones!]

🧸 hello here i am to join the party!!! 🧸

my question is if you had the chance to do a 5 song playlist to woozi (ofc not svt allowed) what would be the name and the songs in it?

— join the sleepover!! 🧸️

this is...such a good question??? but also so hard because like AHHH i have too many feelings about this man, also i wasn't sure what context this was in so this is kinda like songs i think have jihoon vibes and songs that remind me of him and like songs if him and i were dating bc im delulu

HANDS CLASPED TOGETHER TOO TIGHTLY

☆ versace on the floor by bruno mars

cop out song i know i know but like i really thing it does fit jihoon and his vibes as like this slow but sexy song and it's bruno mars so ofc it had to be here

☆ the lakes by taylor swift

if you know anything about this song you'll get it but basically it's a song taylor swift wrote about her (now ex 💀) boyfriend and a testament of their love and how he's her muse and i feel like that's very jihoon with his songwriting and all

☆ amoeba by clairo

this song is about how when you get famous you can loose sight of things and you might get so lost keeping up with your fame that you start to ignore things like your self care or your friends and i feel like that relates to jihoon a lot and how he's spoken about the stress of svt's success being on his shoulders and how he's always working on his music and i think this song would resonate in him

☆ apocalypse by cigarettes after sex

YOUR LIPS MY LIPS APOCALYPSE 🗣🗣 this song is about healing from past relationships and trust and embracing the good and bad and that's the kind of boyfriend i think jihoon is, also i can imagine him softly listening to this song

☆ never not by lauv

basically i once saw an edit of jihoon to this song and i will now always associate him w/ this song but also it's about love for someone (a past partner) who helped shape you and overall i think the pace of the song and the lyrics fit jihoon and how he appreciates all the people in his life and how they've shaped him

i had to narrow down like fifteen songs for this LOL but apparently i associate a lot of bittersweet songs with jihoon like...he is just so devastating in the best and worst possible ways

Dozens of Songs Tag Game

I was tagged by the lovely @thebiwifeonao3 for the dozens of songs tag game!!! Here’s how to play. Also I’m sorry for how much M*A*S*H is on this.

step one:

so here's the game: 12 songs you've recently listened to (include a lyric that you like maybe), 12 ships (can be solo or platonic, dw) (hard mode: from 12 fandoms???) that the songs loosely make you think of, & tag 12 people to do the same.

easy mode: do half a dozen instead idk

here's a fun idea: you could even listen to the playlist from the person who tagged you to use some/all of their song picks!!

step two:

whether you've been tagged or not, you can send an ask with the song & pairing and create a work based on the idea. And the theme of 12 is fun so could be 12 characters, words, paragraphs, chapters, anything!

profit!!! (have fun & maybe end up reading some new fic!)

Cigarettes After Sex - Self Titled

Much like TV Girl I have been hearing a lot about the band Cigarettes After Sex. I have been curious for quite some time now, but today I will finally determine if all of the hype is warranted. So to find this out, I will be diving into their self titled album from 2017. 

First look is the album cover. There isn’t much to it, its quite literally just a black album with white lettering. To be fair, I don’t dislike covers like this, its a very, “You have to listen to find out” vibe. But I digress. 

K. Starting off with a longer song, just over five minutes. I am a fan of longer songs, so this is a positive. I really do like the calm vibes of the instrumental. Throughout the song its quiet and chill. It kind of reminds me of the Neighbourhood. But I will say, I am pleasantly surprised by this song. Not because I was expecting it to be bad, its just not like what I would typically be interested in. But with that being said It’s a good song and I will be listening to it again. 8/10

Each Time You Fall In Love. This one is once again very chill and quiet. But it doesn’t differentiate itself too much from the previous song. I’m not as big of a fan of this one as the last one. However, I do get the storytelling of this one and It does earn some credit because of that. I personally love when a song can tell me a story. I do like the outro, even with its length it kind of makes you think back on the song. 6/10

Sunsetz. Straight away, im starting to notice a theme in their music with the overall vibe. But I will say I am a sucker for a good lead guitar and this I think has a pretty good guitar riff, its simple but it complements the song well. Again it also tells a story throughout the song, and i think overall its a very melancholic song, but in a good way. It does kind of piss me off with how they spelled “sunsets” but whatever. 7/10

Apocalypse. It didn’t go without notice that this is their most popular song. I can see why as well, its very pleasant. There isn’t anything super monumental I havent said about the other songs already, but there is also nothing negative I have to say about it. I will listen to this again in the future. 8/10

Flash. This one is slightly different in the sound. It also has good lyrics that are really catchy. I am not going to go too much into this song but this is my favorite so far 9/10

Sweet. The title of this song is very fitting, its a sweet song. Its a love song that I think is very nice. The lyrics are pretty simple and standard for a love song, but theyre still good. It isn’t my favorite song, its quite simple and pleasant. I don’t have much negative to say about the song 6/10

Opera House. This is a song about the duality of love, and the pain that comes with it, or at least that’s how I take it. I try to not get too into what songs are about because I can go on and on about it, but in this case its necessary for me to mention the meaning. Because I really love this song for its meaning, the duality of love and the poetic meaning that I take from it. It’s a longer song, but I do wish that there were more lyrics for the storytelling of it, but I also can behind  a song that has little to no lyrics so either way, I like it. 8/10

Truly. I don’t think it’s bad, but I can’t get over the fact that he’s singing in cursive. It’s very subtle that he is doing this, but its noticeable enough that I am finding it annoying. Other than that I think the song is fine, but its a minor thing that I cannot get over. 5/10

John Wayne. I like the storytelling aspect of the lyrics here, I also appreciate the lack of the subtle cursive singing. I am trying to not overthink the first lyric because I think I misunderstood it so I will not be counting that against the song. Because I don’t think there was anything weird meant by the lyrics here. Overall, I like it. 7/10

Young & Dumb. So I didn’t want to like this song as much as i do, the lyrics are weird but also in a very good way? Its hard for me to explain but I think its good. The cursive is back and that didn’t go unnoticed, so it does lose points for that, but I do actually like this one. I think It was a good way to end an album. 8/10

So overall I would give this album a 7/10

Mathematically it gets a 7.2 This album is different from what I typically listen to, it is no secret that I’m a sucker for rowdy, guitar heavy rock songs. But I also really love a good story being told through lyrics, and this is what this album excelled in. I think that it is a pretty good album with some songs that i will be adding to my playlists. I did notice the sexual themes throughout, but I was expecting that from a band called cigarettes after sex. I think that they are a calm and quiet band, but overall their self titled album was alright. I do see why people like them and speak so highly of them.

he was never one for music, but to be fair, he was never one for romance until he met you. there was something about the light in your eyes and the cheeky jokes you targeted at him that drew him closer to you, and he loosened his guard for the first time in- god, how many years had it been?

CONCERT REVIEW: CIGARETTES AFTER SEX AT VOGUE THEATRE - SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2022

September 13th is a crisp night in Vancouver for Cigarettes After Sex — a wildly popular and anticipated show due to the band’s last album being released in 2019 at the onset of the pandemic. Lead singer, guitarist, and founder of the band, Greg Gonzalez, with Randall Miller on bass and Jacob Tomsky on drums commanded the stage at The Vogue with sensual, dreamy shoegaze and indie rock.

What I love about concerts from bands that were at the height of their popularity during the “indie sleaze,” 2012- era of Tumblr is the fact that the crowd really goes out for a full experience. That isn’t a slight to Cigarettes After Sex or their fans — I, too, dressed up. The crowd was prepared for a night of escape and lurid romance, and I loved seeing everyone dress the part in black, leather, and old merch.

My friend actually mentioned to me that a Cigarettes After Sex concert would be boring, but honestly it was far from it. Gonzalez’ vocals are made for The Vogue, with his almost operatic, sometimes referred to as “androgynous” tone filling the theater. The band started off strong with crowd pleaser “Crush,” and although the stage had little by way of set design, it felt intimate.

Gonzalez and his bandmates did not partake in a lot of banter with the crowd, but I think that added to their allure as performers. You don’t see a Cigarettes After Sex concert to laugh and cheer — you see them to engulf yourself in the music and feel it in your stomach. By the time “Affection” rolled around, followed by “Falling in Love,” a lot of the couples in the pit took to swaying together, closing their eyes and enjoying the experience. 

Another highlight was definitely the song “Cry,” a personal favourite and perhaps one of their most popular songs. For this, they projected a woman’s sad face on the curtains of the stage. There is something about this song that is so guttural and heart-wrenching, that I think everyone should hear it live once. Gonzalez’ smoldering guitar and contemplative lyrics accompanied by the light snare of the drums felt very human.

The band performed a lot of favourites, including “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby,” “Apocalypse” and a cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Keep on Loving You.” Although one might critique that Cigarettes After Sex produce the same kind of smoky, simmering, sad song, they were all very enjoyable to listen to. I think this is the kind of music to listen to live, making a great concert experience.

The setlist was shorter than most with the show running just around an hour. They concluded on “Opera House” – my second favourite song, which they put a spin on by slowing the first part of the tempo – and “Dreaming of You.” It felt like an intimate concert despite the larger, packed venue. I also heard that a bunch of people bought fake tickets from a fan page for the show that night, and the band asked The Vogue to try and sell more tickets and cram more people in than they usually would. It just goes to show how deeply Cigarettes After Sex cares about their fans, and their ability to experience and listen to their music.

Cigarettes After Sex ⸻ Apocalypse

You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark Your lips, my lips - Apocalypse Your lips, my lips - Apocalypse Go and sneak us through the rivers flood is rising up on your knees Oh, please Come out and haunt me, I know you want me Come out and haunt me Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist Got the music in you, baby, tell me why Got the music in you, baby, tell me why You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye When you're all alone I'ill reach for you When you're feelin' low I'll be there too

Definitely one of the more obscure and not-so-obvious titles on his playlist It was added due to a very angsty yet soft shipping interaction with another Squall in his Kingsglaive verse and, while I find parts of the lyrics extremely fitting, I was mostly inclined to add it to Seifer’s playlist because of the vibe. I have a couple of “shippy” songs in his playlist, but this is definitely one of those that throws me back to the times when he was so conflicted between being drawn towards Squall even more intensely than in the past, and at the same time wanting to stay far away (at least emotionally and intimately) so as not to “defile” him since he always seems to make things worse and not, you know, better.
