Day #23 A Song You Think Everybody Should Listen To
Another day another song in my collab with the wonderful @jjbanks. Once more I feel like there are many options and routes you can take with this prompt. If you want to participate in the challenge you can find it HERE. Feel free to tag us in your picks!
Polygraph Eyes by YUNGBLUD
Bonus: Favorite Lyric! “Absent on absinthe, dancing to bad synth Saturday night ain't about romancing anymore. Just you getting lit in the queue to the dance floor.” & “She can't even run, she can't even walk. She slurs when she speaks, but you hear what you want when she can't even talk. Leave it alone, mate. She doesn't want to go home with you, home with you, no.”
Storytime: A big reason I picked this song that I think everyone should hear is purely because consent is such an issue these days and it’s terrible that almost every female I know has had something happen to her without her consent, me included. No means no and even if you are intoxicated no one should be taking advantage of you. So many people believe it’s okay to do the things they do to females and males alike if they are intoxicated, but it’s not okay to use that as an advantage for personal sick consent-less games. To me this is a powerful song that spreads awareness and a message that needs to continue to be talked about and fought against. Stand with victims and if you see something sketchy taking place, don’t stand by and watch if you can help it.
Feels Like Falling In Love by The XCerts
Bonus: Favorite Lyric! “Hey! Keep yourself safe, keep yourself safe she said. You broke your own heart but there’s no need to lose your head. Hey! Keep yourself sane, keep yourself sane he said. You’ve gotta give up, give up, give up the fight to start again. And it feels like fallin’, fallin’ in love.”
Storytime: When I went to see my faves ever - Busted, in London, they had 3 supporting bands. The first were fine, second were even better, but these guys.... these guys got me. They’re so so good and full of energy. I remember the lead singer (I forgot his name😫) trying to hold back tears on stage because him and his band had never preformed in such a huge space before (the SSE Arena). So, using today’s challenge to boost this incredible band. Please check them out! This song was my fave that they preformed ‘cos they has us all doing chants and dances and it was so much fun.💖
Another day done, and we both definitely took two different angles on this prompt and I love that. Also I am like lowkey obsessed with this song you choose they are so good! I added it to my playlist! Gonna be checking more of their stuff out for sure! We got the powerful message song, and the signal boost a good band who deserves more love. We here for it. @jjbanks 💚
