Music on repeat 🐦⬛
Reliquia by Rosalía (and the whole LUX album)
•••
Not to be dramatic but this album is transcendent. I cried listening to it the first time, and seeing her perform it live was genuinely a spiritual experience which also brought tears 🥲. Every time I listen I cannot help but dance like I’m possessed. She sings in THIRTEEN languages on this album! The music is deeply stirring and the lyrics are profound. Rosalía wants us to never forget that the sacred and the profane are the same.

A perfect song. A lot to say about Connie Converse but if you appreciate this you should look into her more yourself.

We Love To Hear It
Stop This Train by John Mayer
•••
I have ugly cried to this a million times in the car, driving away in the dark. The verse where his dad tells him "don't for a minute change the place you're in" really does me in, and the whole song makes me feel way more present than any meditation ever could.

Spaceman (Belly)
•••
Discovering Belly's first album as a preteen was like being handed a skeleton key to myself; Tanya Donelly belts out things I whispered to my own cracked heart in the middle of the night. I first heard this B-side from their second album in college, and it hinted at sorrow I wasn't old enough to understand yet. Now I hear it and my skin goes cold. Sometimes I forget Belly is my favorite band; songs like this remind me, in calling me by a name I never told anyone.

I once watched my yoga teacher and partner (queer marriage) dance the Texas two-step in the kitchen to this song and became overwhelmed witnessing this moment, filled with hope that my queer child will one day also find this kind of tender love.

Couch Comrade (Alt Version) - Abby Holliday

I think being comrades in this life (in this current reality) is one of the highest forms of love and I feel so lucky that I align with my Beloved, and we help make each other and the world better. Even when it’s exhausting. Plus: I’m a sucker for harmonies. They always get me right in the feels.

I am the antichrist

This song gives me goosebumps and I can’t help but cry every time I hear it. It’s not even the lyrics, it’s the orchestra. I feel the music in my chest, it’s explodes with emotions - happiness, sadness, nostalgia. I sometimes feel sick listening to it. I’m desperately trying to find more music like this. Another song that makes me feel similar to this is Elephant Gun by Beirut.

karma police - radiohead. well first of all it is pure, crushing, euphonic melancholy. but also listened to it probably 1000 times last year on my way to and from nursing school classes after ending a 9.5 year relationship.

This song always makes me melancholy. Most Leonard Cohen songs do, but this one is more haunting to me for some reason. The longing and loss. It gets me every time.

This lyrically beautiful stargazing lullaby perfectly and somewhat brutally holds the overwhelm of what love for your child feels like, simultaneous with a longing and nostalgia for childhood and wonder.

some song by The Chicks that I don’t remember the name of
•••
What I do remember is hearing it for the first time when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’d been put on the kitchen counter, and my mom was playing her Chicks cd while making food or doing dishes. The song was obviously sad, but I couldn’t understand why, so I asked about the lyrics and what the song was about. She explained that sometimes people leave your life or this life entirely and never come back, and that threw me into my first bout of existential dread. The worst part is that I can’t for the life of me remember which song it was (could be their cover of “Landslide” but that seems too obvious), and now the feeling is associated with the Chicks’ sound in general, so their music does me in every time. The memory I have about the whole thing feels adjacent to déjà vu, like it’s almost a sense memory but you can’t quite place it in time, so you construct a narrative around it that may or may not be true. Take my own little mythology(?) described above, for example. It’s true to the feeling, but is it true to what actually happened? Probably no. I think Woolf describes something similar in “Sketch of the Past” which I am now compelled to re-read the minute I put my phone down. I’ve asked my mother about the song that made me cry when I was small and perched on the countertop that one time, and she naturally has no recollection of the specific moment but does remember owning several Chicks CDs and playing them often. So the jury’s out on that one I’m afraid. I don’t know think that remotely answers your question, but answers are the most boring part of asking a question anyhow.
