i may have a very complicated relationship with my mother, but the thing is, one part of it i would never change is the fact that she introduced me to some great (and often times not so great for my taste, but still fun and interesting) music.
most important of it all: this woman taught me how to scream queen from the top of my lungs.
i think this in particular says a lot.
like, i was a ten-year-old, just a year into learning english, and i already recognised the first note of i want to break free. i went camping every summer from when i was 12 to when i was 16, and i introduced the kids in the same dorm as me to the euphoria of clapping to the rythm of we will rock you. i danced in the darkness of my room to radio ga-ga during quarantine, because i was scared and confused and ate toast for dinner for two weeks straight since there was nothing else there. i hummed bohemian rhapsody while studying during what i then thought of as the most academically challenging year of my life to keep myself sane in front of calculus. i fell in love for the first time the same year, and i thought of her while listening to good old fashioned lover boy and you're my best friend, because i wasn't able to tell her, so i kept her close to me that way. i went to study in another, unknown city, to live on my own for the very first time, and, inter alia, i put on killer queen, innuendo and don't stop me now, and even i'm in love with my car, to feel like home, a place i never had, because...
i may have a very complicated relationship with my mother, but sometimes my heart thinks that the music we both love will bridge the gap between us. that queen will magically make her arms feel like home, and not somewhere hard and suffocating to be inside of.

TO ALL CHURCH ORGAN ENJOYERS MY BELOVED
@fluffypichu876 in particular as this post was written for my dear mutual's enjoyment))))))
To my great sadness, there are Not Nearly songs that use organ! This is an actual crime in my opinion, church organ sounds incredibly unique, has an unparalleled range, including sounds beyond what human ear can hear. All of this gives it incredible musiclal properties, which can be used to create a wild range of music and amazing songs.
I'll start with the ones we've already mentioned before, so they could all be grouped together in this post.
Binding of Isaac DLC just casually dropped this banger and left (not really, there are some others very good tracks in the OST, I reccomend checking out Shadowdance)
Knowledge of this wonderful track was bestowed upon my by @fluffypichu876 . Ultrakill OST is badass
THIS BANGER is a Don't Fear the Reaper cover on a church organ. Warning: the song is ripped out of the game files and stitched back together, there are 2 a little rough transisitions (they sort of jumpscare me a little if I'm not prepared), so don't be like me and turn the volume a little lower than MAX, take care of your eardrums.
Bleak Faith Forsaken is such a unique game, a real shame it was not well received. The visual and environments are breathtaking, but for me music is even more so. Composer Martel has managed to combine a truly rare combination of traditional ethnical insturments or song structures, paired this with banger riffs or synth, and made something truly niche and unique. I highly reccomend listening to the entire OST. Personal faves are Nurgei The Blademaster, Mountain Wreath
Found this one just today. Music that makes me want to confess all of my sins and bathe in the slain demon blood. Apparently I have a lot of Warhammer 40k catching up to do...
Now, a more popular and easier to find category - rock song covers! I've had the pleasure of listening to some of these performed live, and I highly suggest any church organ enjoyer looks for local orchestral rock concerts. It sounds fantastic in your headphones, and it sounds even more powerful live (I've found a local organisation that regularly performs these concerts and the tickets are very affordable, catholic church has my respect and thanks for allowing these concerts. They even regularly perform Jesus Christ Superstar!!! respect)
It's a testament to organ's range that you can play an entire rock song with just these two instruments. The drummer is a certified banger for sure, and organ wonderfully plays the guitar part I love this cover more than the original tbh
And classic. Interstellar Sountrack. Brace yourself all you want, you will be blown away regardless.

it’s so funny that ML tries to imply that rock music isn’t repetetive af (as opposed to “modern” pop & other genres) and has some moral high ground because it’s supposedly “deeper” than other genres and “more sincere”, when in reality this specific American rock is mostly centrical to themes of sex, drugs and money & half of the time these songs pad the length via repetition anyway
obviously political rock is completely different, but jagged’s target audience is literally tweens so i really don’t think it’s that deep. this is so stupid omfg
Edit: Tone here is easy to misread but unfortunately this is the post that everybody is seeing. I’m criticising the media trope, not music. I love rock. Sorry for not being clear on that. PLEASE read this post: x .
