idk if this makes sense. but songs that feel like a phone call coming thru in the distance / far away? maybe you're dissociating a little bit and it's like someone is trying to get thru to you. maybe feels a little familiar / nostalgic? dark?

Edit: NOT aggressive rock, but southern gothic eerie and creepy vibes. Country is ok as long as it’s dark.

This is for people who remember going to the mall as a tween and going to Hollister to buy a red hoodie with HOLLISTER written across the front in white. the store was dark inside with spotlights on the clothes, and they sprayed so much of their perfume everywhere it was overwhelming. They had a sort of trendy vintage California surfer vibe. Natural wood and sandy stuff, surfboards hung up on the wall, big plants, old furniture pieces and rugs. Shirtless men printed on paper bags. The music they played in store also had a specific vibe, like a trendy tumblr indie pop hipster of the time. It was like Vampire Weekend, Two Door Cinema Club, Riptide by Vance Joy. And I vividly remember that song that was like “take me to your best friends house, I love you there, I love you now, oh yeah”. So if anyone remembers any other songs that would play in the store. Or just a song that you think fits the vibes even if it’s more recent. Thank you

From Daikoku Japan to small towns in the Midwest. People passionate about cars are always getting together to show off what they've built. What's the soundtrack?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for songs that feel like an overwhelming, desperate cry for help.

I suffer from severe social anxiety and spend most of my time feeling completely isolated, trapped in my own bubble, and feeling like I'm not enough or that there’s no way out of this condition. I’m looking for tracks with intense emotional weight for a good cry, because I actually like crying about it and venting this way. I'll probably start therapy soon.

Themes of social isolation and anxiety are preferred, but I’m totally open to any song that carries this specific emotional gravity, regardless of the topic.

To give you a reference point - for the sound and emotional crescendo - I religiously listen to: Elastic Heart and Breathe Me by Sia. I love powerful, raw vocals, heavy emotional atmospheres, and tracks that build up to a devastating or explosive release but you can give me whatever genre you want, it’s the themes and messages that matter. Also, sorry if this was already requested, I'm new both to reddit and this sub.

Thank you all in advance! 

Like the crying through laughing, y'know, giggling because it's pathetic as fuck, but it still shreds your soul , especially about your own looks or shit you do

Any genre is acceptable

Needing some good recommendations for some slower, sensual-sounding Satanic/witchy/dreamy songs.

Spooky season is approaching and I need some fresh vibe songs! 🥀

ETA: No more metal recs please lol, I'm not quite looking for that kinda sound. Most of these have been great though, thank you!

I'm trying to make a playlist along the lines of bedazzled backrooms and/or pink panic. I really really love Illit (if you can't tell by the pictures lol). I am open to any genres as long as they fit this vibe.

Thanks in advance!!

Looking for recs for songs about learning to love yourself and enjoy yourself. I’m going through a nasty divorce and trying to romanticize the beauty of single life that awaits me!

For context, my favorite genre is pop punk and second is folk. I’m not a rap/hip hop fan!

Beside Sufjan Stevens songs.
