Dunno if anyone's heard of Stephin Merritt but he's a really great composer who counts many other artists as fans (ex. Peter Gabriel said something about him being the greatest living american songwriter). His music has kept me going through a lot of hard times. This seems like the most appropriate to post here, especially for all the other NfromA method people:

I first heard this song in a tribute video to Gia Allemand, who lost her life in a similar way I was planning mine. Lost the love of her life via rejection, a multi-millionaire NBA player, and used a vacuum cable. She's best known as appearing on The Bachelor. So beautiful, but couldn't handle the lose, knowing she could never replace him.

I don't think there exists a more somber piano track.

Chris Zabriskie - Androids Always Escape

I'm not quite sure what to say… It's just a really good song and such a different interpretation than the studio version.

Milotic by Sabrepulse. I've always been a fan of chiptune but this song makes me feel like I'm being lifted up into the heavens while playing my Gameboy. Because of songs like this one, I've thought about actually buying a refurbished Gameboy with LSDJ software to make my own chiptunes.

If you're a fan of chiptune, you may enjoy Random.



All their stuff feels good in the ears.

Young man. I have a gift for you.



Sit down, take your shoes off, put on some headphones, and let this just flow through you. Shuggie Otis (The singer) wrote the song, and played all the instruments himself. This song is best appreciated with the help of plants.

God damn, good post. My ears need a cigarette after that one.

I skimmed through the album and can definitely say that I'll be on the lookout next time I splurge on records.

For some reason I've started listening to a bit of kpop which I guess is a little embarrassing, but hey. One of the reasons I like this song so much is for the video, I just really like how it's been shot and I love the choreography. I really like dancing I'm planning on starting lessons soon so it's always fun watching different dances and things like that

 

[therhydler]

this song just seems so incredibly sad for some reason

 

[BagofBones]

This song saved my life once. I was watching the sunset over DTLA from a cliff with a beautiful view. I had my supplies in hand and i had already downed two bottles of wine. I was waiting for the tourists to disperese...I took a hanffull of pills and downed them with wine. I put my headphones on and hit shuffle while smoking a joint in a popular Hollywood location.. I had never heard this song and my phone was on shuffle.. this song made me thing twice because I realized I would never be able to love music if I were dead...it was a good deterent for awhile. Haha

 

[BagofBones]

I highly suggest everyone listen to this one..

When Im down the lowest it makes me feel comfort in not being alone. The lyrics are wonderful.

I'm not ashamed to say I've listened to Jewel's music off and on a lot lately. I've always had a fascination with her because she was also living from her van for a period of time and wrote a lot of her best songs during that dark period of her life. Like myself, she also had to grow up in an abusive home and try to heal from that.

Anyway, I think this is her best song. It's an unrequited love song about a boy she liked in high school who barely knew her. It was a poem first, then a guitar song, then adapted to the piano.

 

[journeytotheend]

Like the song, love the video.

And, something very different. By Terje who I knew and loved.

 

[killing me softly]

iron & wine's Boy with a Coin...


i have been into iron & wine for a while now...i find the music a combination of soothing, melancholy, thought provoking, intriguing. in short i find myself getting lost in it. this song is no different. it's lyrically and musically beautiful and the video absolutely compelling.

Wagner ~ 'Tristan und Isolde': Prelude & Isolde's Liebestod (Wilhelm Furtwängler& Kirsten Flagstad, 1951)

This is the actual recording used in the film 'Melancholia' by Lars von Trier, which makes a wonderful visual backdrop to this it was almost all worth it musical moment. Kirsten Flagstad, in this, her last ever performance as Isolde, brings me to the brink of tears.

Utterly breathtaking, every single time.

Gotta love the 80s.

Someone introduced me to Diversity on YouTube. Now I just can't tear myself away. Grrrr

[LiveSlowDieFast]

Every now and then I'll come across a song that I will listen to over and over on repeat for literally hours and I just got to that point again. I love the atmosphere of this track and the way the vocal sample is incorporated.

 

[15dec]

Beautiful mv and the lyrics are great.

This one is also a favourite, wish they made a music video for it

 

[DeadlyLiving]

Hollywood Undead is a really good band and especially this song is one of my favorites

The end gets me every time

I love HU too!

 

[DeadlyLiving]

I love HU too!

Aw, hey fellow HU fan! What are your favorite songs? I am more a fan of the deep stuff from them like Young, We are, Bullet and Hear me now but I also love Christmas in Hollywood and Party by Myself :)

 

[Taylor]

This song is both fitting and comforting to me,

Spoiler: Björk - Virus (Hudson Mohawke Peaches and Guacamol Remix)

I have been listening to this person's music for a very long time and it's one of those things.

 

[2 be or not]

I've been enjoying Thievery Corporation lately. They have a unique mix of eastern, south and afro American sounds with anti-establishment lyrics.

Erik satie - Gymnopedie No. 1

Very calming i find.
I first heard it on a movie when it played while a young girl cut her wrists open in a bathroom with a pair of scissors.

Ah. This was the song I listened to when I first tried to kill myself in 2013. Memories. Beautiful song.

 

[Aesthler]

Just some interesting music I like
