You were like starlight, just like starshine
Casting down on me
When the light would go down and the darkness was found
You would shine hope to me

Heyyy, I don't have a number for the spotify wrapped, but I do want to ask something. I've been slowly getting into steam powered giraffe, and i saw you had some of their songs in your list. Could you list some of your favourites of theirs? I know next to nothing about them, and I don't really know where to start. Feel free to recommend as much as you like, I'd really appreciate it!
Oh my god I love this QUESTION!!! It's been so long since I got an SPG ask!!!
Honestly, when I started getting into them I genuinely just listened to their whole discography in chronological order while I was doing homework or whatever and that was a really great introduction, because you get to see how their sound and aesthetic evolved over time and that's really cool! I also recommend listening to their albums in order at least once because for a bunch of them, there's a distinct theme or ongoing bits and bobs and skits that flow into each other (Album 1 and VQ most noticeably, 2c Show and MKIII less so).
Otherwise, my two favorite albums are Album 1 (either version is really fun to me) and 1896, which bookend nicely as of now. I like Album 1 a lot because it's just very. . . themed? It's one of their most stylistic albums and there's a lot of really solid "beginner SPG fan" songs in there that are pretty classic. 1896 will also always be one of my favorites because I'm just enamored with Zer0's voice and the influence he brings to the band and I just think it's a very cohesive and nice-sounding album overall.
I would not, however, recommend starting off with Vice Quadrant 1 and 2 until you get a grasp on SPG and their whole. . . thing. There are bangers in there for SURE, almost all of them criminally underrated, but it's also a space opera performed by three vocalists and as such is very hard to follow at times.
For specific songs that make me go CRAZYYY that are also pretty beginner-friendly I'll limit myself to a few from each album because I'm taking you seriously when you say to recommend as much as I like:
Clockwork Vaudeville
On Top Of The Universe
Brass Goggles
Electricity Is In My Soul
Honeybee
Mecto Amore
I'll Rust With You
Over The Moon
Starlight Star-Shine
Sleep Evil Sleep
Shattered Stars
Eat Your Heart
Bad Days On The Horizon
Hot On The Trail
I will end this with a shameless self promotion of my own personally curated Spotify playlist of my fave SPG songs (it's a good mix from all the albums IMO but it also is curated to my personal taste so YMMV ig?) as well as my big ol YouTube playlist of some of my fave performances by them, since I really do think seeing them perform is half the fun of this band!
Happy listening and hope you have fun! I love SPG and it's always very exciting seeing other people getting into them :)

Might I offer a spooky stalker song for your Pitch Black Playlist? It's called An Unhealthy Obsession and is very stalker-y

Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Put your playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, and then tag 10 people. No skipping!
i have a bunch of playlists so i'll just pull from one of my favs and talk about why i like the different songs
Noble Maiden Fair (A Mhaighdean Bhan Uasal) from Brave. I love this movie, i love this part of the film, and this song fills me with warmth and comfort
The Sailor Song - Autoheart. Love to listen to this bad boy on loop, i like the density of the backing track, i love the vocals
Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus) cover by Phoebe Bridgers. Just a nice cover that makes it gay we love to see it
From Now On (The Greatest Showman) cover by Musicality. Listen greatest showman has a lot of issues vis a vis the ethics of historically inaccurate historical fiction, but this cover slaps
All Will Be Well - Gabe Dixon Band. Listen to that piano, listen to the lyrics, let peace and love into your heart, it'll be alright
Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious - The Amazing Devil. I love the slow intro, the outake-y outro, i love the lyrics, i like that you can hear them breathe. Can't wait to find a pair of ocs to rotate in my head to this song
Soldier, Poet, King - The Oh Hellos. Speaking of rotating ocs. i just love the oh hellos in general, bought all of their albums on bandcamp, it's great
Sick of Losing Soulmates - dodie. simply a good song, sits right in my range, perfect for singing along
Skipping Stones - Dan Reynolds & Hans Zimmer. tempted to skip this one since it shows my ex-mormon ass a little and i hate that but it's a good song and the rules do say no skipping so
Starlight Star-shine - Steam Powered Giraffe. We love singing robots yearning for love, also perfect for singing for me

Ok so I'm also sappy asf for Nick and I gotta share a song ref for shipping, it's "Bad Days On The Horizon" by Steam Powered Giraffe. It struck me as a Nick song so hard I spent a solid week replaying and crying about it (two sad robot babes aughhh) ;u;
Sorry for taking a bit to answer- I love Steam Powered Giraffe!! Some old friends introduced me to them, and now every time I hear Starlight Star-Shine I also think of him lol
I like that one too, and yeah I feel it I'm crying with you

Well. Here’s what I’m currently working on. I’m going to be performing this song live on the last day before my summer vacation starts. And I’ll of course be singing it dressed as my fanbot, the lovely Miss Key-Lock. Since this is a cover of a Steam Powered Giraffe song.
Starlight Star-shine is one of my absolute favorites, so when it was suggested that I should try and porform that, I was all for it! Sorry about the quality of the music, the entire thing was recorded on my phone, and not a professional audio recorder, since I didn’t really have that handy at the time.
This was recorded today, on April 25th, and it’s to be performed in the beginning of July, so it’s still a work in progress. So far, I’m pretty happy with the progress!

"l am not just a machine (through my heart I will sing) I'm just a person holding onto a dream You were like starlight, just like starshine Casting down on me When the light would go down and the darkness was found You would shine hope to me." ~~~~ I thought that the starry galaxy background would fit well with the Starlight Star-Shine lyrics, plus it makes Spine pop out a bit more than with a darker background. He's almost done, so close! I just need to do something creative with the small gap at the bottom, then it'll be ready!
