some recommendations of songs that i’ve been listening to a lot/discovered in the month of august! i’ve also been listening to the soundtrack of repo! the genetic opera, but i wasn’t about to include the whole damn thing on this, so that’s also a recommendation for me. (start out with chase the morning -- that’s what my blog title is referencing!!)
why you should listen to each song is underneath the cut bc it’ll be LONG!!
evelyn evelyn by evelyn evelyn tells a Story. it’s a song about conjoined twins, and one wants to separate whilst the other wants to stay together. there’s two singers, and they both overlap each other whilst singing which is like, MY FAVOURITE THING MUSIC CAN DO!!
runs in the family by amanda palmer is for y’all who like strange vocals and Marching Music. if you listen to this whilst walking you’re gonna feel like you’re in a weird artsy movie about Youth and Society and Sadness.
sugar daddy by hedwig and the angry inch bc i’m gay.
joan by heather dale is a guilty pleasure bc it sounds so much like a wlw/ace anthem. it’s a girl singing about how she’s less interested in dating men and more interested in persecuting them for their misdeeds. very celtic sounding if you’re into that.
the cult of dionysus by the orion experience bc i’m gay x2.
i was a teenage anarchist by against me! is actually just the first song i recommend you listen to before you go and listen to all of against me!’s music. if you’re trans and into punk music, you probably already know who they are, but if you don’t, or if you’re cis, i still recommend you listen to this.
dirty night clowns by chris garnaeu just has this kinda... jaunt to it. very good melody to it.
little pistol by mother mother. okay so. this has Big Witch Vibes, if you’re into that. but also “i found brimstone in my garden // i found roses set on fire // i found jesus, what a liar // now i trade licks with muddy waters”, like those lyrics coupled by the swell of the music? perfection.
the masochism tango by tom leher bc i’m gay and edgy.
i am the others by son lux. did you ever want to hear a song that sounds like how falling in slow motion through clouds with the warm sun on your face would hypothetically feel? that is this song.
twice by little dragon is a lullaby for sad people.
devil’s work by miike snow has such pleasing music behind it that you wont even realize that the lyrics make no fucking sense.
yamaha by delta spirit sounds like flying.
solo dancing by indiana is like strip club music, but like, the kind of strip club music that are in movies.
fortress by bear’s den for when you feel sad.
idfc by blackbear for when you feel sad but in an angry way.
love etc., by pet shop boys when you feel sad but in an 80s way. (i know it was released in the 2010s don’t @ me)
venus ambassador by bryan scary & the shredding tears is just a weird fucking song and i’m positive im the only person who’d ever like it ever, but i’m rec’ing it anyways. tells a story about an ambassador who’s literally from the planet venus being put on trial for being different.
animal by neon trees bc i’m gay x3
changed the way you kiss me by example is like... an edm song? i think thats what you call it. but anyways, i saw example live and he was fucking amazing, and this song is fucking amazing and it’s a sad song, but it’s the type of sad song you can jump up and down until you get a stitch to.
claire de lune by flight facilities and christine hoberg and no i do NOT mean debussy. i accidentally clicked on this originally thinking it WAS debussy, but it is NOT. doesn’t disappoint tho. has some good remixed violins (i think that’s what’s happening, anyways.)
kids on the moon by kadie elder is just a really good pick-me-up song. it’s just Happy.
i can’t decide by scissor sisters bc i’m edgy. “i can’t decide whether you should live or die // oh you’ll prob’ly go to heaven // no need to hang your head and cry”. so yeah thats a lot. 
secret by huntington has SUCH a good bass beat in it, and i can only explain the music as... drippy sounding? like it sounds like it’s melting. watch the music video if you love soap opera levels of plot twists.
