I'm noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up
The emotion: mild amusement

I'm noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up
The emotion: mild amusement
The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it's a farce.
Outside it's 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.
And I don't know what's going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn't one that makes me feel warm.
Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.
A short electronic instrumental that really isn't all that complex or terribly interesting, but holds a true wealth of emotional context for me. It feels like the awkward first steps in a relationship until something clicks, and ends with a touch of melancholy to my ear.
"Hey Baby" by Deadmau5 while I'm super horny.
Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails
Happy Birthday, if I've gotta sit there quietly and feel awkward, so do all of you
ZSK - Antifascista we always need more, proud, dangerous, commited antifascists.
For me, this song is an example of a bold, counter rightwing-populism narrative. We need more strong and proud narratives on the left, to tell people they can feel important, powerful, accepted and part of something important - on the morally correct side of history.
Enigma - Principles of Lust
No time for fighting when we’re all busy fucking to new age 90’s sex anthems
Now that's stuck in my head.
So, job done I guess.
Killing in the name of
This was my pick too. Might start a revolution.
Tiny Little Robots by Cage the Elephant.
"I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
And you can join us on the other side"
Wake Up - RATM
People need to get really fucking angry and start causing serious trouble for those that are burning our home and hurting our friends.
Welcome my son,
welcome, to the machine.
Where have you been?
It’s alright, we know where you’ve been.
Welcome to the Machine, Pink Floyd
I was birthed to that album.
Same emotions?
On a good day by Above and Beyond.
I first heard it at a rave, rolling on ecstacy, going through pretty bad depression. It was during their "Group Therapy" set. I felt so connected to everyone around me. So peaceful. So understood. I cared and loved everyone around me and I felt the same in return. Sure, I was high. But it was a moment a decade ago that I can still remember vividly, and a point where I started taking my mental health seriously and started to deal with it and finally start to feel good about myself.
Hiromi Uehara - Deep into the night
...because I think everyone need to chill the fuck down.
If that doesn't work, I'll go with Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation so everyone can fuck the chill up instead.
Props for the Hiromi recommendation, though I'd personally choose Seeker from the Alive album.
Ænima by TOOL
I wanna see it all flushed away.
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay!
Learn to swim
I sure could use a vacation
Only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle
Against the super ego
When giving in is so damn comforting
And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can?
Admit defeat, live in decline
24 years later, I still get chills every time I listen to this song.
The Aglet song from Phineas and Ferb. Just to make everyone aware of the name of that plasticky end of your laces.
Sweet Carol Line 😏
Achy Breaky Heart.
I just don’t think they’d understand
Peace Train
Pig by The Dave Matthews Band.
It’s about hope. And sometimes that’s all we have, so… don’t burn the day.
Same emotion?
The Dripping Tap by KGaTLW
Don't slip!
The dripping tap won't be turned off by the suits in charge of the world, and our future's hanging on by a thread
Mozart - Requiem
Insane Clown Posse - "Chris Benoit" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=574ULaCk4iE
Inspiration for the song came from wrestler Chris Benoit, who murdered his wife and son before committing suicide. Insane Clown Posse broadly alluded to the murders in the song's lyrics, but the focus of the song is not the murders themselves, but of suddenly losing one's sanity, and eclipsing in violence.[3] The song pertains to the album's overall concept, which "teaches us to respect the life we've been given and do our best to avoid an early death."
Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life
This song aggressively reminds me of the mix of anxiety and excitement I had before moving out on my own for the first time. I came from a small town, and moved to the "big city" in my province. I had never moved anywhere before, let alone without my parents. That was 15 years ago now, but this takes me right back. It's also a banger (in my opinion).
Body Language by Queen
God Thinks by Aurelio Voltaire
"God is a liberal, God is a democrat
God wants you to vote Republican
Never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of God
And says it's absolute truth
It's lies and it smells like death
It's all in a days work taking money from the poor
Why do you think that God
Would need your dirty money if you want to start a holy war?"
