Kim Petras, "Brutalist"

There was a building there, and it was brutalist And it was beautiful, it was my favorite But it's not there no more because they tore it down They really ruined it My dad's an architect, he used to show me it When he would drive me to the psychiatry Again and again, didn't come back a man I guess I ruined it

Let the big star fall Let your hunger roam On a night like this Put your best dress on Take your sorrow on my shoulder We can borrow euphoria Though it won't last, hallelujah Least we knew ya, euphoria

Future Islands, "One Day"

And you don't have to say that it's real And you don't have to stay, if it's not how you feel And you will go your way And it will never be the same But we'll be stronger when we meet again, one day

Gorillaz, "The Shadowy Light" (ft. Asha Bhosle, Gruff Rhys, Ajay Prasanna, Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash)

Took a bit for me, but I think this is clearly the best Gorillaz record since Plastic Beach.

If it's God you trust What will they promise you When your voice is lost? And replaced by the cold machines The madmen and fever dreams Oblivious to the truth Of the shadowy light
