i saw someone was sending you asks about songs that remind them of lmk! mine are submarine symphonika by the submarines & the sun shines at night by the same band! i think the overall themes of the songs work for the show, but some of the song lyrics dont fit super well! and like a star by mike krol! a lot of mike krols songs are good with lmk just because its astro rock and it fits well with a lot of the sun/moon motifs in lmk! anyway sorry for rambling lol
I think "Submarine Symphonika" is a very SWK song, being someone who basically lost everyone he cared about and then became a mentor to MK:
Say what you will
Love a heart that's been broken
Love finds you even when,
You've given up
Say what you will
Say it again and again
Until the whole world knows about it
Love finds you even when,
You've given up
It's also just a banger.
Then "The Sun Shines at Night" (also a banger):
We hold on tight
We had the summer of our lives
But your doubts, they hold strong
And my hope it burns too long
So don't go
If you completely ignore the romantic implications, I really like it for Mei and MK, especially with their leaving motif!
Speaking of leaving...
I'm like a star
I'm burning out fast
I try to shine
But it's never gonna last
Can't you see you're just letting me down?
With all my friends, I'll make a picture
But in the morning I'll be gone
"Like a Star" I think is very MK, for no particular reason. Real quick, if you could just take a sec and walk with me over to this gif:

Pulling You Under
An Obiyuki Week 2022 Day 2 Playlist (for @snowwhite-andtheknight)
Dug through some old ocean/deep sea themed playlists and found songs that perfectly fit the selkie and home themes! Didn’t initially think about the story when arranging the songs, but the bittersweet songs could represent Obi being concerned about selkie Shirayuki wanting to return to her previous life in the ocean where he can’t follow...
As you guys know, I always put my favorite songs in the playlists so I can listen to them non-stop and this playlist would be a good introduction to all of my favorites!
Submarine Symphonika- The Submarines
Tides Change- The Hush Sound
Waves that Rolled You Under- Young Summer
Down By the Water- The Decemberists
Marvelous Things- Eisley
Is It Safe- Matt Pond PA
Waltz on Water- Copeland
Palm Reading- Fialta
Under the Tide- CHVRCHES
Deep Sea- Snail Mail
Summary lyrics are posted after the bonus mermaid Shirayuki!
Submarine Symphonika- The Submarines
Say what you will
Love finds you even when you've given it up
But now that you've promised never again
It's exactly when you'll fall in
You say home's where you'll be
But soon your own sweet love
Who needs you will be lying in your arms
Tides Change- The Hush Sound
The tides changed, it's time to go home
The waves said I should go
The wind began to blow and the water got tall
And that's when I went home
Going back to the boat
With fresh oars, I will row
Going back to unknown
This SOS will never reach the coast
Waves that Rolled You Under- Young Summer
It was all a thrill
I got locked in but I had to go
The balcony was closed, but our minds were open
Go on and touch, don't think too deep in
Don't be so scared of the things you love
Diving into waves over deeper waters
Fools from far away close enough to fall in
Well I never could say what I wanted
I never could see the waves that rolled you under
It hits me still when you're distant
Out there alone
While the world is stretched we go
But this time holding strong
Down By the Water- The Decemberists
See this ancient riverbed
See where all the follies led
Down by the water and
Down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Marvelous Things- Eisley
Dark night, hold tight
And sleep tight my baby
Morning light shall burst bright
And keep us here safely
I followed a rabbit
Through rows of mermaid-entwined shrubbery
Oh, lying in the sun
Everyday feeling all of the magic in life and the wonder
Is It Safe- Matt Pond PA
Let's go for a swim
Out into the waves
When the lifeguards leave
It's ours for the day
Let's feel like we're brave
Let's give it some meaning
Even if it is shallow
Even if it is fake
It is safe as long as
I see you way out in the water
With no thought of going under
We could be out here for hours
Lying in the sand I fall asleep
And dream of the summer
When we'd slip behind the pool
And go with nature
If you're looking for something
Out in the waves
At least it is something
You know that you're safe
It is sound as long as
I see you way out in the water
With no thought of going under
We could be out here for hours
I see birds above the waves sit on the air
And wait for something
I know someday I'll be done with all this waiting
Waltz on Water- Copeland
Step lightly, we might sink in
We're waltzing on the water now
I'm drowning here on solid ground
We're fumbling on our common ground
I'll step lightly lest I grow tired
Of the search for the cure
For apathy, was it her?
But by the time she returned
I was fast asleep, come lay with me
'Cause I can't slow my dreaming
Palm Reading- Fialta
Wading out into the ocean
As you read the palm in my hand
Lazy holiday in motion
Sifting all the salt from the sand
Many hours you sing for me, you know what I like
Will you have the time, will you wait for me?
Under the Tide- CHVRCHES
I'm watching you run
Run from the sidelines
Take in a breath, fill in your lungs
Keeping you alive
No fear, I'll be your eyes
I'll be your lifeline
And if I can be, I'll be your strength
And it won't be long now
Head up, head up
Keep holding, holding
Don't you take another step away from here
"I would go anywhere with you"
What a lie
I'll break down, but you will never see
Tell me, are you happy?
Are you really happy?
Deep Sea- Snail Mail
Deep sea dive
Got down, but you stayed alive
It's only you down there
You and the bends
Lose your mind
Lose track of breathing in time
It's only you down there
Sleep with the tides
We can be anyone
It took so long to know someone like you
And age in the dying sun
Wake only to bathe in greens and blues

Music recs? Music recs.
These are a sampling of albums I’ve come across in recent years that I’ve spent far too much time listening to. To limit myself, I’m not including soundtracks or other things that are part of pop culture. This is strictly for music from artists I’d never heard of before stumbling across these albums and deciding to keep them because of the music's own merits.
In order of most recently discovered to longest kept:
El Club del BGI 3 by Marcel Casellas i La Principal de la Nit
Catalan dance club music that is very catchy and also makes me feel like I’m actually in a club listening to this being performed live (side note: I have never been inside a club so do not take this assessment as gospel).
Honeysuckle Weeks by The Submarines
I don't usually gravitate to love songs, but this American indie rock duo are so earnest about their love and they express it in a musically interesting way I really vibe with.
Mambo! by Yma Sumac
Yma Sumac had incredible range and was an absolute force to be reckoned with and I wish I'd heard of this Peruvian icon sooner.
Tiger Run by Sally Nyolo
This Cameroonian-born singer incorporates a bunch of international influences into an album that I don't know how to properly categorize, but I just have so much fun listening to her.
TSLC by The Silver Lake Chorus
Californian choir that mostly sings about life being kinda a mess while sounding amazing. (the final song on this album can be pretty depressing, though, so keep that in mind if you listen to the other songs on this album)
Musiche per Spiritus-Aqua-Vita by Progetto Arcana
The least Easter-sounding Easter music you’ve ever heard.
Sugungga by Leenalchi
This South Korean alternative rock group keeps throwing down banger after banger.
Kawaipunahele by Keali’i Reichel
Hawaiian music (with some covers of pop songs) that feels like getting a warm hug from someone who loves you.
Mayumi Kato Piano Works by Paul Barton
Japanese composer Mayumi Kato wrote these evocative and lovely pieces for the piano, which are performed by her friend Paul Barton. I think these CDs might be out of stock at the moment, but the music is all on YouTube (and they usually have the sheet music downloadable for free for all you pianists out there).
Ascendit Deus by Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, the Dmitri Ensemble, Graham Ross
Choir and organ performing religious-ish music that is truly epic and will probably intimidate all the peasants.

"Private submarine carrying several billionaire tourists goes missing while surveying the wreckage of the Titanic."
Well, it had to happen eventually. This is where big-ticket extreme tourism and shooting untrained assholes into space and such was always going to lead – frankly, it's surprising that it took this long for a major incident to crop up.
"One of the missing passengers is the president and CEO of the company that owns and operates the submarine."
Huh. Well, points for putting his money where his mouth is, I guess. I wonder if–
"The missing CEO's name is Stockton Rush."
Oh, bullshit. That's not a real person – that's the name of a guy who builds an inexplicably 1950s-themed underwater theme park and then gets eaten by a shark in a cautionary tale about the perils of libertarianism. That's the name of a guy who carries off an oceanfront real estate scam that somehow ends with Superman fighting a telepathic squid. Fucking "Stockton Rush". Unbelievable.

Can’t believe I haven’t seen anything on here about the rich-people-tourism submarine (steered by a video game controller???) that went missing on the way to the Titanic ruins.
This seems like the kind of story this site usually latches onto
UPDATE/EDIT (I put this in a reblog as well but just so ppl see it): it seems like it was possibly carrying researchers/explorers as well? I haven’t seen a manifest yet, but either way, I feel awful for the passengers/crew and their families, this has got to be harrowing for them
June 22, 2023, 2:50pm EST Update: OceanGate released a statement saying they believe those aboard the Titan submersible “have been sadly lost.” According to the US Coast Guard press conference at 3pm EST, the debris found is “consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
