can i ask /you/ for mando song recs? i’m curious what’s on your playlist!
i come bearing a few songs that i’ve been vibing with lately: synesthesia by andrew mcmahon, violet by bad suns, and into the wilderness by early hours
Omg what a strange feeling to be recced an Andrew song because I'm actually THEE biggest lifelong Andrew McMahon fan. Like since Something Corporate to Jack's Mannequin to the current Andrew McMahon in the Wildnerness era lmao. The other two are also fantastic recs and are going in my Liked Songs!! Excellent vibes!
ANYWAY main content aka Mrain Damage tracks under the cut 🤪
I feel like every song can be a Mando song because they are my biggest blorbos and all songs are written about Them but let me rec 3 that I haven't mentioned before.
Ease by Troye Sivan
Thee Mando theme song for me right now. Your touch my comfort and my lullaby!!!! Just about Max being Lando's Home and Place of Comfort. (For the sadder version of songs from this album pls see here)
Dips by Daisy The Great
This is the Mando lazy yacht hooking up theme song. Like the vibe is just slow sweaty sticky sappy boat sex slash making love. Pls picture them like this while you listen to it
Walk by Griff
This song is big big neurotic caretaker Lando being in love with His Max energy. Very #MaxIsLandosBaby energy
Grow As We Go by Ben Platt
Sorry but does it ever make you feel insane that they've LITERALLY grown up together and seen each other through so many phases and they still seek each other out and they still spend all this fucking time together (45 days and counting!)?? Like it's not just the shared history they have that binds them, it's that they're actively choosing to form these adult identities together side by side :(( growing as they go (together) :((( (TOGETHER)
I have an entirely separate Man1do (Mando Songs by One Direction) playlist but it has been sufficiently covered here and then there's an entire lengthy Mandaylor (Mando Songs Written by Taylor) playlist which I will eventually bully @des-iderate into publicly discussing but the current Biggest Mandaylor song in light of the protracted breakup honeymoon finally ending is:
Come Back...Be Here by Taylor Swift
No explanation needed, the lyrics speak for themselves I THINK
Anyway these are just general Mando chunes and not from the Mando Divorce playlist which is like A Whole Other Genre that I don't have the energy to go into right now but that vibe is......devastating.
Special shout out to all previously mentioned songs on this blog (A World Alone, Anyone Else But You, Stay Stay Stay, Pancakes For Dinner, Tim Wish You Were Born A Girl, Do I Wanna Know) and in conclusion literally all songs can be made about MY blorbos and #MILB
