GRAB YOU EYELINERS KIDS COS ITS TIME FOR SOME EMO!!!

What can I say about this song? My words won’t explain it. My body and soul have been wedded to this life, and this song is the one that reinforces my trust in life, everytime I get hurt. It will always have a special place in my heart.

Lyrics I love:

A world that sends you reelin'

From decimated dreams

Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black and take it back

Let's shout it loud and clear

Defiant to the end, we hear the call

The saddest op of the whole of Naruto series!! The feels dude!! the slow and banging start makes your heart weak. And then those screaming lyrics, just bring out the pain in you.

The timing of this op ... again perfect. Jiraiya’s death has brought a lot of sadness in all of us, and yelling “CAN YOU HEAR ME?” at the top of our voices was the only way to get rid of our pain. Also look at the visuals for this, especially at the ending, those transitions always bring tears to my eyes.

Thanks to this channel for this video.

Lyrics I love:

If you just notice the sound of the wind...

It told me to follow these scars

Before I'd be crushed by the weight of the world

Can you remember it? The sky of tears...

That pain has given you protection

Because this pain will always protect you

One of the greatest lyrics I ever heard. Sit down and ponder upon and you will stumble upon so many possibilities. I could never control my tears reading them.

Everybody has scars. Some less and some more. When I sit in silence and have a look at myself, the first thing I’d notice are these imperfections and wounds. As I recollect how I got them, the burden of my past, weighs me down and I drag myself through them. But, remember, there’s always light at the end of a tunnel. Those tears I found at the end were the diamonds that lit me up, telling me that this isn’t the worst I’ve experienced or seen. That pain in the past challenged me to get up and has always protected me.

So sit down and ponder...

This song’s title is apt AF. It’s played on an electric guitar and it’s goes really well with mornings. Most of the days this is the first song I listen to in the morning, it’s just refreshing.

I got to know this song from an advertisement for NeuralDSP while I was scrolling through Insta.. I liked the song so much that I watched the whole ad just for that

This is the first time I’ve seen a headless guitar. And right now, I’m saving up for it😅.

[gin-n-tones]

So catchy!! Your legs start dancing to this as soon as the song starts. This is the song Imma play a girl, when I’d want her to be my girlfriend...🥰 or I’ll just ask her to leave a toothbrush at my place😅 .

Lyrics I love:

When you're standing there in your underwear

And my T-shirt from the night before

With your messed up hair

And your feet still bare

Would you mind closing the bedroom door

The imagery☺️!!

This song is a mix of:

Vaseegara/Zara Zara Mashup - Jonita Gandhi💖

Cradles - Suburban

And that cute little voice saying “Oy Hoy”  is from the song For Aisha - MEMBA, EVAN GIIA ft. Nooran Sisters.

Each of these songs need a seperate post coz I love ’em. Ok, now coming back to this song mix, it just leaves me with so many mixed emotions. 

As the song starts there’s this feeling of heartbreak, this longing for someone, and the craving for their embrace. And then comes the part of moving on/denial, where it feels like you could burn this world with your own hands. You are in pain but you can’t be thrown down anymore. You’ve reached the bottom. But look at those little “Oy Hoy’s” sprinkled in the song, they are the voices reaching out to you, showering love on you and  reassuring you to give life as many chances as you have.

Lyrics I love:

OY HOY!!

Sorry I can’t resist that voice😍

[gin-n-tones]

RADWIMPS - I’m gonna stan you for the rest of my life. What an album man!! Just mind blowing. Every emotion in this song, resonates in my heart.

This song is intro to the movie: Kimi no na wa (Your Name) by Makoto Shinkai. And!!! If you haven’t watched this movie, please watch it. Such a beautiful movie. It’s gonna make you cry and laugh so hard, man the thought of watching this movie makes me a dog with two tails.

Lyrics I love (Translated):

We were always in disagreement about what awaits us once these lives come to an end. Someday, let's go give a high five to a feeling undiscovered and unclaimed By anything in existence- and give a kiss to time.

Even being teased by the 5th dimension, I'll still look your way, So let's choose our secret sign for when we introduce ourselves again! 'Cause I'm heading out now to chase after your name!

Ahh!! Goosebumps, goosebumps all over my body.

[gin-n-tones]

Dayum!! What a song man.. The first time I listened to it, I jumped off my bed and started dancing. I wish I was drunk at that time.

Lyrics I love (From the original song)

Tax the rich, feed the poor 'Til there are no rich no more

Just black and white, rich or poor Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world But I don't know what to do So I'll leave it up to you

I was introduced to this song by Sense8, - if you never watched it, please do so, before I knock at your door. And if you need a reason to watch it, it was directed by The Wachowskis. Whoo! That brings back so many memories.

Fact: This song was originally by the British blues rock band Ten Years After.

Never expected this from Jimmy Eat World, It’s so goood. The MV is equally weirder and fantastic.

Lyrics I love

Got the feeling I've been talking to a dead, dead line There's always a reason to let it change Is there anyone there listening while you cry, cry, cry? There's always a reason for the pain

Never had anything to prove But never was anyone like you All you fought through, all you had to face Made you stronger, unafraid 

555' is a deeply personal song for Jimmy Eat World vocalist Jim Adkins, about resisting accepting your reality, and the damage it can cause.

“'555' sees me cast as a galactic evil master, overseeing an army of cloned species doing my bidding - this is the only life they know, joining me in song in this post-apocalyptic dystopia.” - 🤣🤣

Why the title?

“I remember watching Ghostbusters as a kid, that was the number to call on their commercial, and I remember trying it. So the concept behind 555 is basically feeling frustration that your prayers, for lack of a better word, are going to an uncaring universe. Like, ‘I’m doing everything right. Why can’t I get a win?’ There’s no hope in that song.

“I feel like it’s a struggle for acceptance. You’re not going to get anywhere unless you honestly accept the reality of where you’re at. If you can take that step, things seem a little less scary and hopeless. And that’s it, but it’s still super hard."  “ - Jim Adkins

Falco’s voice 💓 in this, sends chills down my spine, especially in the second refrain. And the lyrics...

Lyrics I love (Translated)

It's cold, we have to come out of here, come on Your lipstick is blurred You bought it and I saw it Too much red on your lips and you said: “Leave me alone”

TERRIFYING!! I liked the song at first. Since it was German, I didn’t understand most of it. But reading the lyrics later, damn that was just scary.

Interesting fact:  Several feminist associations called for a boycott of the song.  It nonetheless became a number one hit in numerous European countries.

“I heard you paint houses”

“Remembrance,” is a tribute to Robbie Robertson’s late friend, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

Jammin’ to this🕺

Lyrics I love:

Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light She has danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance

Interesting Fact: This song was originally written for a serial killer. The lyrics for the chorus went like:

He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure He will kill your cat and nail him to the door
