December being my birthday month, I decided to treat myself and upload 10 of my favourite songs of all time :D That means that this will be the first rotation that contains something else than only japanese music AND that the genre will be all over the place lol

As usual, the link for each individual song is in their title and the link to download everything all at once is at the bottom of the post

So in this birthday pack, you'll find :

Dalida - Mourir sur scène

Mourir sur scène (literally "to die on stage" although an english version of the song exists as Born to Sing, though i kind of don't like her english singing voice as I feel it lacks depth...) is my favourite Dalida song, in which she addresses death directly. By the time she recorded this, she had already attempted suicide and I do believe that her love for singing and being on stage made her life bearable enough, at least for a while (she did end up killing herself, in the end). She was a very tragic grande dame and that weighs a lot in my love for her, I have to admit. Mourir sur Scène was a single on an eponymous album released in 1983

Dir en grey - Lotus

This song was an love at first hearing and it's still as good as it was the first time I listened to it. It's just one of these songs that grabs my heart, will not let go, and will crush it and leave a gaping hole in my chest by the time the song is over kfjshksdjfhksjdfh Lotus was a single from Dum Spiro Spero released in 2011

Evanescence - Imaginary

I first was introduced to Imaginary through the version that is on Fallen. The thing is, Evanescence is the first band ever on which I hyperfixated. One album wasn't enough. I went on to find the Fallen demos and the Origin demo album. The version you're getting here is the version from Origin. I have not gone back to listen to the Fallen version since lol (the Synthesis version isn't bad either !) So this version of Imaginary was on Origin, released in 2000

Gothika - Fata Morgana Android

I'm still wondering if this is my rip from the album or my rip from their MySpace LOL. So yeah, I first heard this as an untitled track on MySpace, back when they had just changed their name from Euthanasie to Gothika. I also don't think they made a better song than this... ^^; Fata Morgana Android was on the album 120 Days of Sodom, released in 2007

Hora - Ains5

I JUST FUCKING LOVE THAT SONG OK. And it's the only one without lyrics, here... Ains5 was on Venom, self-released in 2007 (which also transonica and inner elements which are pretty good too !!!)

Klaus Nomi - Cold Song

Happy birthday to me, here's the most depressing song ever ^_^ Klaus Nomi was pretty much my introduction to countertenor voices (which probably came as a recommendation from someone after I had gotten into Vitas around 2007 tbh), and I just fell in love. Cold Song was on an eponymous album released in 1981 (if you'd like something less depressing, try Lighting Strikes or You Don't Own Me from the same album :) )

Lili Fatale - Feels

I have to admit that I don't like a lot of québécois music, despite me being from Québec, but Lili Fatale definitely is an exception. Particularly for Feels. I find the song relatable and I like how her voice carries it and wraps around me, aaah... Feels can be found on the album CK80296 (yes discogs is wrong on this one cause indeed the album title is the catalog number, but I guess it's also considered an eponymous album...), released in 1997

Queen - The Show Must Go On

So I was introduced to that song through Moulin Rouge! lol. And then one day, I got a weird hair up my ass and went to download a Queen Best Of album and... Yeah, the rest is history, it will always, always be such a gut wrenching song ! And the show did go on, after all... The Show Must Go On was released on Innuendo, in 1991

Schwarz Stein - 黒い羊 (Kuroi Hitsuji)

Another one of my love at first hearing, this is the last one to date. I knew I was going to put a Schwarz Stein song in here, and it could have been so hard because all their songs are so fucking good, but I figured that anything from the midi:nette era is old enough for everyone to have heard it already, so I decided to go for a more recent song. I almost hesitated between this and Cocoon tbh lol Kuroi Hitsuji is the B-side on the Ever After single released in 2019

(couldn't find it on youtube lol)

The Birthday Massacre - Blue

Blue was my introduction to The Birthday Massacre ! I then looked into them and realized their whole thing was violet and a weird girl, at a time when violet was my favourite colour and I was a weird girl, so it just... happened naturally tbh. Blue was on the Violet album (still fucking iconic !!!), released in 2004

Rammstein Family Game: Get to know me! (created by @vapor-stein)

Many many thanks to @ofmemesandbands @theelliottsmiths @notafraidofredyellowandblue @endlich-allein​ and @ghostlovesc0re​ for tagging me!! (I was gonna do this anyway but now I can actually blame someone for my word salad XD )

Also of course I read what other people wrote on his tag as well and let me tell you I lived for the unpopular opinions and there was a certain one that shocked me (but in a good-natured way?). And Stirb nicht for mir being roasted because it’s so funny how strong people feel about this song in particular XD

1. I’m curious: when did you discover Rammstein? Fuck if I know. For the most time they have existed in this wierd atemporal bubble where they were always somewhere out there (which is kind of right because I’m only 1 year older than the band itself) but at one point during my childhood I must have heard Du hast. So... late 90’s / early 00’s?

2. Tell me your story. How did you discover them? Ok so this question has 2 parts because fucking none asks how I started actually LISTENING to them. The first part of the question is answered above, probably heard Du hast because I don’t really have any early memory of another song but then again I forget very easily so there’s that.

And the second part is how I became a fan. Obv over time I heared a few other popular songs and the only one that stood out was Mein Herz brennt (ok, Mutter too but MHB has like 465694831 instruments which is <3). During the tour last year, someone I follow on instagram posted the „Mein Herz brennt” part from the chorus in her story and that made me think hmmmm I’ve already been listening to it a few times lately and I love it and I’ve been saying for a few years I’ll give them a chance might as well do that now.

And it went like this: on Wendsday I listened to the recording of the live in Berlin (2019). Sometime that evening I must have discovered Deutschland because the next day I was fucking obsessed with it and listened to it on repeat the whole day. And lastly, Friday I listened to the untitled album on repeat because it fucking slapped. So there you have it, my descend to maddness (and Saturday I was fighting against my growing Till attraction until I just gave up and Sunday afternoon I admited I find a grandpa hot). So yes, the last 3 days of August 2019 were life changing :))

 3. Favorite song? Mein Herz brennt and Deutschland, they are on equal foot, no way to choose between them. MHB because it has the amazing instrumentals and Duestchland because it has the amazing voice (and also they both are favourite song of the pre- and post-knowing R+)

 4. Least favorite song? Come on. I know you have one. *pulls up the songs rating list* according to the list, that would be Jeder Lacht but I don’t really care about the last let’s say 10 songs on there so yeah. Oh yes, and also Stripped and the English versions are not on the list so they don’t even exist for me.

 5. Favorite album? I have no idea which one that would be. I mean, I could say it’s the untitled one but there are also many songs I love very much from other albums. So I can’t really choose.

 6. Least favorite album? *shrugs* don’t make me rate albums (yet)

 7. Something that speaks to you in the deepest sense of the word: a lyric? A specific song? I... kind of started relating to Keine Lust because I can’t really motivate myself to do anything anymore (but lately I’ve been better, I like to think). But yeah, if I think a little to much about the song, I’ll probably start tearing up or something.

Wilder Wein and Schwarzes Glas hit me in a very emotional way because they just make me nostalgic for a thing I never lived/experienced and it’s wierd because they are such different songs.

 8. Unpopular opinion: about a member? A scandal? Anything? *starts rubbing hands* yes! I’m seeking discord and ruin withing the fandom with my unpopular opinions I was dying to be asked this question XD Ok so I have 2. The first one I keep seeing people all the time stating the opposite, and that is: I like Stirb nich for mir (and Te Quiero Puta). It’s an ok song, I enjoy it and I have nothing against it. More than that, I really can’t say whether I prefer the album or the demo version more. They are so similar and different at the same time that my brain doesn’t really comprehend comparing the 2. And the second unpopular opinion, which I’ve never seen stated, is: I hate Schneider’s curls. Obv I hate the hedgehog style even more but... the curls! I don’t trust them! (and I’m low key glad he cut his hair again)

 9. Have you ever seen them live? Tell me what you felt. ... let’s not talk about this (I still feel like the universe is against me because I first bought Trondheim feuerzone and then find out I can’t go to because it’s too expensive and have none to go to, but now I can’t go to Turin either. Also my copy of In Quiet Nights still doesn’t want to reach me for the second time so there’s that)

 10. Do you play any instruments? If you do, can you play any song by them? The only instrument I’m playing is the voice (as one does XD) but other than that, no, I don’t and I can’t (but if I would, I’d totally learn some piano versions :D)

I’m tagging @crina-s-blog?? If she wants to do the tag?
