also Postal Service if anyone remembers them haha, and PATD and OWL CITY

Idk why but listening to Fireflies by Owl City always makes me cry? I'm an emotional person though, so..

I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THESE

coldplay and the Fray are awesome



I know right! Paradise by Coldplay got me through a lot of really hard times, and How To Save A Life made me want to help people who had been through the same thing as me after I got through it. Really emotional songs! Paradise makes me cry when I listen to it. I listened to it for the first time in years day before yesterday and the memories and emotion came flooding back! Brilliant song.
What do you think of their newer songs? :)

are you me? literally same, I mean How to Save a Life and Paradise both got me through tough times, and along with Mika, these songs helped during the days where living was hard

I am so happy the songs helped you too! :)

I really recommend the whole "Ocean eyes" album by owl city- Adam writes very deep songs, and yah I cry at Fireflies too and Caving in

I love their newer songs! :D Well personally, I have a deep adoration for Yellow, The Scientist (this got me through tough times too) but their new stuff is great :D I love Hypnotised btw and I wanna hear the rest already!! You have a good music taste :D

Bjork is really good btw and I recommend Passion Pit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmtsXAmKSkA :)

I totally agree with some of the songs on here, The fray and Cold play especially are powerful indeed!

For me personally one song that hit homes every time I hear it is, Enya - Only Time. Aside the fact that it's a beautiful song, the first time I ever heard it was it was when it played in the background of a 9/11 tribute. The song is extremely emotional and the effect of certain pictures being displayed have had an everlasting impression. There is a significant tonal shift from a somewhat despondent tone to an uplifting one, and the lyrics encapsulate this feeling perfectly.

The song means a lot to me know as it reminds be of family member who passed away in the incident, nonetheless I would recommend.

Another song that means a lot to me is Walking on Sunshine- Katrina and the Waves.
Just the whole song is so energetic and bright, like me

The metaphor/imagery in these lyrics get me every time... I've been reading and listening to these lyrics for a good 8 years or something and they never get less striking.

I'll be back for more in this thread. I've already got my next contribution lined up  8)
Strange Lot by Seth Sentry - Verse 2
We all look so morose
Soaked overcoats, hope comatosed
Folks know the ropes, don't row the boat, just float

Don't delay, don't you go and chase the blown away
Umbrella 'cross the motorway, tell 'em keep a poker face

[lyrics omitted]

Moments past only last in photographs, show some gums
Fool the picture homie, no, he couldn’t give a lonely fuck

So they don’t smile they just show their teeth
And sit below the streets on broken rollercoaster seats

With today's valid ticket like this trip is where they're all supposed to be
But don't be difficult, the warning poster's read

And if it all amounts to this, then all aboard and count your chips
A flock of dirty pigeons fighting over water fountain sips
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Like, I'm not shitting you when I say this is my favourite song of all time... and like... you might be my favourite person in the world rn. Warm Winter is the most CHILLING song EVER.

Seriously love Float Away. Also Campfire, Langoliers Banquet, How Are You, and like obviously Pripyat 1/2. (and virtually every other Seth Sentry song, ever).

honestly, this made my day Brenden! To know that there are well cultured people with such a bomb taste in music! :D AtarNotes has the coolest admin :)

YEAH! Warm winter gives literal chills and it is pure unfiltered magic.

Yup literally all his songs are masterpieces and the lyrics are so in depth, the music, the composition- he is a genius imo. Langolier's Banquet!!!!! I adore that! Also, many artists usually have those songs which are the "skip" ones which you skip immediately, but for Seth, legit every song is great and EVERY album holds strong *love heart eyes*

wow I could go on!
