OOO SONGS maybe kaede?
see this ask is so fucking embarrassing for me because a) despite kaede being one of my faves, i haven’t started a playlist for her yet so i don’t have a lot of options, and b) the song i associate with her most is Little Lion Man, which i only associate with her because You made an animatic of it, and i would literally rather explode than explain your own art to you.
so! i dug through my recommended youtube mixes and held all the songs up to kaede like a paint swatch until i found two that fit her well enough for this. (also i’m starting a kaede playlist because i can never face this humiliation again).
the first song that immediately clicked with kaede for me is The Garden by The Crane Wives, which is about the singer asking someone they love and trust to bury them while an audience of crows laugh. i paused my liveblog after i finished ch1′s daily life because i wasn’t quite ready for saimatsu sadness yet, but it seems it follows me everywhere...
i don’t actually have a ton of analysis but like come ON: the crows in the garden are laughing at my expense / drowning out all the lies that i might have told instead / my stone, my shield, my steady hand / hold your light to the darkness in my head. how am i supposed to listen to that and be normal?? and when the singer follows it up with lay me down / pour the dirt into our bed / tell the crows / they can have their pound of flesh, BROOOO. the tenderness. the misery. i am withering away.
the other song i found was Karma by AJR! it’s about someone telling their therapist about how hard they’ve worked to be Good and Helpful and Nice and how frustrated they are with the lack of results. i’ve been so good / but it’s still getting harder / i’ve been so good / where the hell is the karma?
it ends with a very ominous the universe works in mysterious ways / but i’m starting to think it ain’t working for me / doctor, should i be good? / should i be good this year? before the music cuts out, which has kaede’s “girl the power of friendship isn’t working! time for the power of Incredible Violence” energy imo.
also there are two completely inexplicable Cowbell Intermissions in the middle of the instrumentals, something i think more songs should probably have.
