I particularly like these lyrics:

"Me and you, we did the same damn thing:
We fell in love knowing the pain it would bring -
Now all I do is sing, sad songs with red eyes."

Use this thread to simply share what you're listening to at the present time. :)

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls.

"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am."

Banger. This really takes me back to certain periods in high school.

Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling - full album.
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell - full album.
Hillsong United - Captain
Hillsong United - Even When It Hurts (Praise Song)
This one spoke to me on a spiritual level. I've been drifting away from God recently, but listening to this song makes me feel secure knowing that He loves us unconditionally, no matter what we've been through. Through the anguish and stress and pessimism, I'll have someone to turn to.
Even when it hurts like hell, I'll praise you...

Before I started listening to J's suggestion:

Also:
- Growing Pains by Alessia Cara
- Why Can't I Change by Passenger
- Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

And @Joseph41
It's a beautiful mix - I love the variation in sound positioning (wearing headphones, bass and voice is mainly in one ear and guitar and drums in another). The guitar is great. Kinda sad. You have good musical taste. Where on earth do you find these songs? ;)

Uptown Girl- Billy Joel

I made the mistake of walking past my younger siblings' school and they were playing this for their warning bell, so I felt like playing it fully at home :')

Also @J41- Great song. :)

- Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

That album is permanently in my 'recently played artists'

I'm currently listening to Lai Lai Hei by Ensiferum. I especially love the first part sung in Finnish

Omg I see so much alternative/rock music above and then there's me currently listening to EDM/hip pop/K-pop since Black Pink just had a comeback.

These are my two favourite songs from their recent mini-album but tbh, all their songs are legitimately good!

My favourite part of the music video is when Jisoo (the one wearing the pink-haired wig) walks past people taking pictures of her mural but when she falls, all of them turn their phones into gun-like phone cases, pointing towards her and wearing balaclavas. It kinda shows how when celebrities make one mistake, people can use that against them and ruin their career in one go- and they tend to do that anonymously (aka, via social media).

As for Forever Young, it's a lot more pop-y but it really fits with the lyrics- fun, summery and youthful.

Shoutout to Camilla Cabello for leaving Fifth Harmony and blessing us with her music as a solo artist.
I know everyone isn't into pop music and think it's overrated but I think Camilla's voice are what makes her music different to other pop songs tbh. Lyrics aren't too bad as well.
