Another fabulous song Sounds like it has a really important message too. I'm naive so I didn't even realize that was an issue in Sweden

Yayy! I hope you fall deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, Alice

I wouldn't say it's on the level of north america, not even close, but when compared to other nordic countries it's a damn travesty. Even compared to the rest of Europe, Sweden's pretty awful when it comes to fascistic oppression.

When I'm done falling, I'll start digging lol.

Ugh. There are shitty people everywhere and I'll be damned if they don't love power

Day 11: A song with angst

You’ll go a long way to find a singer with as much angst as Skin. So much so it’s difficult to choose which song. She sings every one with fierce passion and a deep-seated rage against social injustice, inequality and discrimination perfectly matched with powerful rhythms and raw guitar work.

Weak - Skunk Anansie

 

[lavendersilk]

Yaaayyy!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Swedish reggae!!
Just because of that I'll use my Second Song, which I won last month, to promote another one by the Captain!

Day 10 - Song that makes a Statement (part deux!)

This one's hard to translate, but it's about police violence and their constant oppression of the working class.

"Blåljus och Siren har bli'tt ett blågult problem"
"Blue Lights and Sirens have become a blue-yellow problem"

This has also become my #1 favorite song to rap after @morelikeasong got me to start rapping

Kapten Röd - In Kommer Ting

I was listening to this and kept thinking I've heard this song before! Duuuuh! You sang it!!

Nothing compares to you - Sinéad O'Connor

Day 10 - Song that makes a Statement

I wish somebody would've told me that thighs of thunder
Meant normal human thighs
The fuckin' pressure I was under
To lose my appetite
And fight the cellulite with Hunger Games like every night
~~
I know Victoria's secret
And, girl, you wouldn't believe
She's an old man who lives in Ohio
Making money off of girls like me
Cashin' in on body issues
Sellin' skin and bones with big boobs
I know Victoria's secret
She was made up by a dude

Day 11: A song that is angsty

I don't think there's any band that even comes close to the Smiths when talking about angst.

Morrissey is draped in it, it coats his skin and drips on the floor like tar.
It starts as a puddle around him, but it grows and grows until he's drowning;
his cries for help make the most beautiful music.

The Smiths - Please, please, please, let me get what I want

Pink Floyd: Wish you were here
Lamenting their "lost" co-founder Syd Barrett

Day 11: A song that is angsty
Oh man my music is 90s, the era of angst. I really have to pick only one?!

I'm going with Paranoid Android - Radiohead

*Me to teenage self* 'you had no idea..'

Day 11: A song with angst

I just love how this melody takes me on an emotional journey. I don't usually pay too much attention to lyrics right away. The music is what grabs me first in a song. This features an instrument I had never heard of before, a charango. I had to look it up because that was what drew me to this song initially. I had to know what that sound was.

There are two other versions of this song, but I went with the original because it is my favorite. Check out the wiki for more info.

I want you to want me
Why don't we rely on chemistry?
Why don't we collide the spaces that divide us?
I want you to want me

Superposition - Young the Giant

Day 11: A song with angst
This song. I couldn't post the version I wanted to but if you search YouTube it's the one dedicated to Chris Cornell.

This song but specifically this version. So much emotion pouring out after we lost Chris Cornell. Need to click to watch. Sorry!

Been neglecting this thread a bit. Coming in hot with my catch up songs. Bear with me.

Say someone charming and handsome also wanted to catch up? Could they do that also?

And then, can I get that same answer?

Day 7: A song that deserves more credit
Made the decision to go with Bright Eyes for this one because I think, in general, the band deserves more credit. Picking a specific song was not easy.
Sorry if I’ve told this story before…
in college I frequented a bar and had a really lovely friendship/flirtationship with the bartender. He had such a good taste in music. When the bar was slow, specifically Tuesday evenings, we’d listen to and discuss music that the townies wouldn’t like. He wasn’t familiar with Bright Eyes and wanted me to introduce him. I said I couldn’t just recommend one song or album. He told me to make him a mixtape. It was near impossible to pick. I ended up making 3 mixes. The final one I named “Third Stringers Are Still Pros”

I don’t remember which mix this song was on. It’s good though.

Bright Eyes - Shell Games

Day 8: A song you’d put on to clean

ZZ Ward - Domino (ft. Fitz)

Day 10: A song that makes a statement

I had a specific song in mind that I was going to post for this prompt, but I decided against going in a political direction today.
Instead, I’ll throw it back to my high school years. Driving around town with my bestie, smoking a blunt, and emphatically singing along to every word.

Say Anything - Admit It!!!

Day 11: A song that is angsty

More than 50% of the music I listen to could be considered angsty. I love that shit. But when I think angst, I think pop punk. They just go hand in hand.

Story Of The Year - Anthem of Our Dying Day

 

[Grant55]

Day 11: Queen of the Night aria.

Where angst is, opera is not far behind.

Get out of my head on this one (goes to look for back up Smiths songs)

Day 11 - Song that is angsty
Well @vagrantx took my first choice so here is my back up Smiths song and how I’m feeling that she stole my first choice. Also “what she asked of me, at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed” is an all time song lyric.
