1. Janis Ian - From Me to You
(you're more than beginning / you're learning to fly / you feel like you're falling / but it passes in time / i hate to see a friend / go down in flames without a song / so i'm waiting by the doorway / but i will not linger long)

2. Malvina Reynolds - The Little Mouse
(hooray for the little mouse / that mucked up the clearing house / and threw the stock exchange in a spin / and made the bankers cry / so much for the electronic brains / that run the world of banks and aeroplanes / and if one little mouse can set them all awry / why not you and i?)

3. The Roches - Pretty and High
(i work at the circus / and i sleep with the clown / when i took off my dress / the sky fell down / if the sky falls down / we'll play on the ground / 'cause i'm pretty and high and only party a lie / pretty and high and only partly a lie / pretty and high)

( info. )

i had me a boy, turned him into a man,
showed him all the thing that he didn't understand.
- elle king, ex's and oh's

whoa oh ah, mona lisa,
you're guaranteed to run this town,
whoa oh ah, mona lisa,
i'd pay to see you frown.
- postmodern jukebox ft. hannah gill, the ballad of mona lisa

1. Instigators - Grace Potter

You, me, together we're gonna be the instigators
Revolution loves company, we are the revelators

2. I wish I Was - Maren Morris

I'm not the hero in the story
I'm not the girl that gets the glory
'Cause you're looking for true love
And I'm not the one
But I wish, but I wish I was

3. Surrender My Heart - Carly Rae Jepsen

But the benefit of all the broken hearts
That I broke before they could break me
Is a little bit of life regrets
I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me

(the last two are opposite vibes, it's alright it's fine lol)

Edited (added song links, derp ) 2024-07-28 11:22 (UTC)

a. Dance Monkey - Tones & I
They say, oh my God I see the way you shine / Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine / You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by / And now I beg to see you dance just one more time

b. Haunted House - Neoni
You know that will never work / I'm a little bit absurd / I like dancing on the verge / Anyone can love a pretty little mansion / But could you love a
A haunted, haunted house? / Oh, could you love me now?

c. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
It took all my strength not to fall apart / Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart / I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself / How I cried / But now I hold my head up high

d. Grace Kelly - MIKA
How can I help it, how can I help it? How can I help what you think? / Hello my baby, hello my baby, putting my life on my brink / Why don't you like me, why don't you like me? Why don't you like yourself? / Should I bend over, should I look older, just to be put on your shelf?

or anything you vibe with from his playlists

1. Snooze - SZA

I'll touch that fire for you
I do that three, four times again, I testify for you
I told that lie, I'd kill that bitch
I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not
Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it
Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies
Long as you dreamin' 'bout me, ain't no problem
I don't got nobody, just with you right now
Tell the truth, I look better under you

2. Better Than - Lake Street Dive

Better than being
Some fool's bride
Better than pretending
To know what's wrong and what's right

3. Lose Control - Teddy Swims

Problematic
Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habits hard to break when I'm with you
Yeah, I know, I could do it on my own
But I want that real full moon black magic and it takes two

BONUS. Crazy - Jane Levy

And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

(Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist really did me a solid for Becca here, lmao)

'Bad Self Portraits' would be part of my desert island discs. 'Use Me Up' will always get me a little.

I actually only know that one song by them? It played via algorithm magic and I vibed with it. I haven't gotten around to checking the rest out yet. Glad for an endorsement, though!

Hey nothing wrong with that! Though I am always an advocate if the algorithm delivers fire then check out the whole album! It doesn't always work out but it often does. They were an opener, for I can't remember who now, but they were brilliant at the time!

Certainly check it out now if you have the chance. You can always borrow it if need be!

vibes, not exactly what he listens to.

the flames and smoke climbed out of every window
and disappeared with everything that you held dear
and you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
death cab for cutie ∙ your heart is an empty room

well, contempt loves the silence, it thrives in the dark
the fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart
they say that promises sweeten the blow
natalie merchant ∙ my skin

tell me are you free
while the gallows stand
and bullets lance the bravest lungs
thrice ∙ firebreather

Places, places, get in your places
Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces
Everyone thinks that we're perfect
Please don't let them look through the curtains
Dollhouse - Melanie Martinez

I know you're scared and your pain is imperfect
But don't you give up on yourself
I've heard a story, a girl she once told me
That I would be happy again
Hold My Hand - Lady Gaga

I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night
Be Kind - Marshmello & Halsey

[Or pick one of these. Or bring your own. I'm easy to get along with. ♡]
