(stole this from @warpussy lolol)

wasnt tagged in this at all but i need a distraction right now so heres a top 10 songs in no particular order list and these are like not “of all time” cause im a music-lovin fiend so this is just stuff ive been listening to a lot lately

1. Bloc Party :: “The Pioneers.” tbh ive been listening to this entire album (Silent Alarm) on repeat the last few weeks its just so goddamn good. this band kinda reminds me of the band the police for some reason?? just a great lead singer, great guitar riffs, beautiful lyrics, the shit i live for. i really like this song in particular cause of the chorus. “We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?”

2. Bloc Party :: “Blue Light.” had to put two Bloc Party songs on here lolol this is one of the slower mellower songs on the album, the way the lead singer Kele Okereke sings the chorus just kinda tugs at my heartstrings. “If that’s the way it is, then that’s the way it is.”

3. Hozier :: “In the Woods Somewhere.” This is another album ive been listening to on repeat and will never get tired of. hozier is a fucking MUSICIAN, and his music has been helping me with some romantic angst ive been feeling lately. this song may or may not be my fave, its creepy and haunting and his back-up singers have a part in this one where they do these gorgeous harmonizing “ooo’s” that bring chills down my spine every time. “My head was warm/My skin was soaked/I called your name/‘Til the fever broke”

4. Torres :: “Skim.” saw her as the opener for a tegan and sara concert and proceeded to get a Huge Gay Crush on her. she jacked off her own guitar during a solo need i say more??? this song is a banger, real interesting guitar moments and a simple beat but pretty impactful. her lyrics are really interesting too they kinda tell a story. (also i may or may have not watched the music video for this song multiple times for uuhhh reasons) “There’s no unlit corner of the room I’m in.”

5. Beyonce featuring Jack White :: “Don’t Hurt Yourself.” OK BEYONCE I GUESS YOUR’E A ROCK STAR NOW FUCK. this song is everything i never thought i needed until i heard it, like the Uppercut Punch of Beyonce’s voice mixed with Jack White’s garage-y groovy rock sound is such a perfect combination. when beyonce screams “WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I IS” i ascend to another plane of existence. “I am the dragon breathing fire; beautiful mane, I’m the lion.”

6. Asking Alexandria :: “A Candlelit Dinner with Inamorta.” gotta love some mid 2000′s screamo, what i like the most about this song tho is that at one point it breaks down into a sick EDM synth beat??? and then slowly the screaming starts happening again and the synth beat mixes in with the heavy metal guitar and its like this giant crescendo of noise but it still sounds oddly beautiful. “With eyes closed, her heart breaks. After it all, she brought this on herself.”

7. Paramore :: “Emergency.” i dont care what ANYONE ELSE SAYS All We Know Is Falling is Paramore’s best album ever of all time. i love their later music too but nothing beats the first album, i can listen to it all the way through and i love every single song. the first three songs on the album are especially my faves, but theres something about "emergency” that makes it special. the verses have this cool back-and-forth kinda thing that almost sounds like two people speaking to each other even though its just hayley. “’Cause I’ve seen love die way too many times, when it deserved to be alive.”

8. Tyler the Creator :: “Yonkers.” this song is soooo NSFW its not even funny and the lyrics are Problematique but theres something about tyler’s voice and cadence when he raps, plus his beats are so killer. hes a rapper with a dark punk kinda edge which i really appreciate. the lyrics kinda just read like tyler was just taking all his scattered random thoughts and emotions and put them into a song but everything still fits together and flows. “(Fuck everything, man), that's what my conscience said. Then it bunny hopped off my shoulder, now my conscience dead. Now the only guidance that I had is splattered on cement. Actions speak louder than words, let me try this shit.”

9. Crystal Castles featuring Robert Smith :: “Not In Love” Good god did i listen to this song ALL THE TIME when i was going through some emotional love life-related shit and i can still jam out to it. it has crystal castles’ stellar synth work and backing beats with Robert Smith’s deep 80s synth-pop voice and the lyrics are just real gud. real relatable. theres something about a dance-able synth beat with song lyrics that are depressing as fuck that i really love. “ I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door. Won't give you my heart, no one lives there anymore .”

10. Birdy :: “Shelter.” its kind of a shame she didnt get more popular, she was still a young teen when her first album came out but her voice has a lot of maturity to it. also watching her play the piano is mesmerizing. this songs a tear-jerker for sure just cause its so melancholy and her voice is light but extra emotional in this. “Maybe I have said something that was wrong, can I make it better with the lights turned on?”

im gonna tag these people!!! @moonlitserenades @ifyongemetrodonttrustyou @dasfreefree @wigglytata @cryingofficial @selig-sind and then anyone else who follows me who wants to do it!!! YEEAAHHH

#song tag #music #my two musical moods are either hard rock/screamo/metal/punk or 80s style synth and EDM #and then like sometimes an emotional slow song #dats it
