Day 20: A song about a toxic relationship

A bar at the end of the evening... the band is playing to the few customers who remain when someone walks in. He has driven since who knows when. He sits at the bar and recounts his tale... the other drinkers join in on the chorus and the band plays on as his taillights fade into the distance...

Day 20: A song about a toxic relationship

if it was allowed I'd post the entire thing here for this prompt. But I can't, so I'll settle for one...

That’s how I feel about this album, too. It’s an album of ballads that chronicle the artist’s toxic relationships- starting with her mother, then with herself, and her romantic partners. It is beautiful, painful, honest, and raw.

This one is the opening track of the album, about her relationship with her mother. The choir of kids singing at the end of this song is

Maria Mena - Power Trip Ballad

I love this one. Simple and beautiful.

I think, only Monkey'll skip this one. And you're fine. Thank you for sharing. Really.

Some prompts. Some songs. I remember how I felt when I first heard it. Relief, and shame, and a bunch of others that defy definition. And honestly, I planned to just post the artist and title. That went sideways....

It didn't happen often, but it happened enough. I also don't want women to think I equate what they have gone through. I was never in fear of my life, which is a monumental difference.

On a "lighter" note, even Hozier couldn't believe the couple who used this as the soundtrack to their engagement video. Lyric reading is a list art...

Sometimes I wonder if @morelikeasong picks these prompts just to tempt me to post the most emo fucking things I can remember. This record, in all it's early-millenial angsty-ness, came out just as I was pushing past 'young' relationships and into something that felt more adult in the mid-2000s. This captures so much of the feeling of that, even if the subject matter *allegedly* skews a little younger.

Landslide Baby - Beulah

And my baby says, It's a lie
It's a cop-out, and I know you know I know why
You won't try, 'cause you're scared and you're weak
And you don't give a fuck about me
And I do believe that you hate yourself
And I knew you'd never stay forever
Holding it together, making songs for me
And alright, forever's on your side
Oh, it's only time, it's longer than you think

And now I gotta listen to this album again. The whole thing is so nostalgic and vibey for me. More than once I had a quote from this album in my MySpace profile

Oh god, remember when you could embed a song or a play list on your MySpace page? I definitely had 'Build God, Then We'll Talk' as mine for a while. Apparently, I was a tween at 23

I used to be so good at HTML coding for my page. Embedding hidden songs so you couldn’t turn them off

And it transcends the times. My kid "borrowed" my copy and she and her friends listened to it obsessively as well.
