I love the droning, chordal, organ-esque accordion accompaniment, the simple vocal melody, and the pensive feel.
It has a folksiness about it that I enjoy. But I could also see it inspiring recs of church music from the 1300s, and that would be awesome too.
I'm honestly just looking for some warm and fuzzies. That scene itches my brain in the right way, just the initial hesitation from his boss breaking away into pure joy.
I'll be the first to admit that this is an absolutely shameless request for free serotonin, so thank you in advance.
Defying Gravity (basically, any of the wicked songs that feature her)
The Color Purple stage musical that she won a tony for (i'm here) just looked at a tony performance of that.
The song is more of a 'jazz fusion' rather than pure jazz. I'd say it's got a bit of an African soul/reggae(?) twist on the jazz sound. It's a very calming, laid-back song, perfect for pick me ups or listening to on a sunny day.
Love those huge rock - or bordering heavy metal - bands, just need more of em!
like sad movie vibes
Looking for other movies like this "Fish out of the water" meaning foreighner in japan I guess Tokyo drift, Mr.baseball, Black Rain, and Lost in Translation all fall into the same category for me (fish out of the water in Japan)
BTW I highly recommend all those movies I listed if you also like these types of movies.
I recently found a fairly obscure artist called Gezebelle Gaburgably and I really like her music. Any similar artists/bands?
Some examples of songs by her that I like:
https://youtu.be/6zgjIEEb3wg?si=W5mMV3Aqh0XVipNU
then does anyone have any recommendations for songs similar to it, preferably a little slower (ideally around 100-110 bpm, however open to anything) as well as more muffled and sadder sounding...
I really love this jazzy kind of music. Love the use of the different instruments, the piano solo, the saxophone, the bass. I hate this length of song though, I want more of it. It's not overly happy, but not down in the dumps, really relaxed and chilled. Here is the link for easy access: Oh Wonder - Dinner (Official Video)
Another good example of this kind of music is "Poison Curse" by Port Sulphur Band.
WEWIL? Thanks!
Been trying to find more music to listen to because the BRAT album on repeat and The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess are getting repetitive. I've heard Short and Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter but it didn't stick around. Any recommendations?
The song in question: https://youtu.be/vK-gFQwGWwo?si=Hdv0y8jgxUBlB5sN
Open to any recs. Big fan of their 2 songs; Crown & Feel It Still
Edit: added song links
I love the costumes specifically, even if it's just an artist who makes masks in a similar style I'd be interested.
Looking for a show that is similar to the few "undercover" episodes of Law & Order SVU (mostly with Elliot) They're always my favorites so I'm wondering if theres a show simmilar to these episodes?
Really just vita segreta di una diciotenne. I like all of it but mainly the more band sounding songs such as vita segreta di una dicitotenne 2, but I like all his stuff because of the melody and instrumentation.
I really love genius women in movies. Those who usually moves behind the scenes.
Mine are
-Molly’s Game (once again Miss Jessica Chastain in her genius fcking pick of role)
Please recommend more movies like these!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking for something like these songs:
For whatever reason, for years I have been drawn to all things Mojave Desert… music, art, video games, yet I have never been (yet 🤞).
This post is looking for music inspired by the Mojave Desert, and more specifically the Joshua Tree and Death Valley areas.
The obvious answer here, and I’ll get it out of the way, is U2’s The Joshua Tree (Favorite album by my favorite artist, so we’re good there).
What I was surprised to learn is that M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming was also inspired by the artists time in the desert. And where much of it was recorded. I had no idea why I was digging the album so much and then it made a lot of sense at the subconscious level.
That got me thinking, have there been any other artists that have just gone into the Mojave and written an album? If so what album? I’m extremely curious if whatever power of inspiration the desert holds resonates in the music written/recorded there.
Looking for a specific type of R&B that sounds similar to that song, where it has that classic old-school soulful sound and warmth if that makes sense.
Hi all, my insatiable quest for new channels has lead me here haha. I'm looking for YT channels that discuss true crime, mysterious disappearrances and other strange occurrences (No Paranormal stuff though!!!!!) in the vain of the channels above, with a specific focus on channels that a are similar to Lazy Masquerade. Lazy, for me the OG channel for this type of content - the cases, the manner in which the material is presented, excellent narration and unnerving music in the background.
I understand this is quite specific but any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I think this genre is afrobeats. I’m looking for similar chill, deep house afro inspired. Another tune I love and want more of is Jerusalema by Master NG. I love the gospel sounding vocals of this song mixed with afro beats.
Anyone have any suggestions or playlists?
I'm looking for problem-solving characters like house and the Doctor
ive been listening to Dimrain47 for years, a 2000s newgrounds artist who is recognized only for geometry dash, a rhythm platformer game. i looked for progressive trance but it was too repetitive in the drum patterns, i also looked for uplifting trance but it was too simple in the melodies, what i want is music that sounds like these songs:
Andata and Ubi by Ryuichi Sakamoto are the two best examples.
Of course, there are Debussy and Chopin but I'm looking for something more contemporary. Serene, with a tinge of melodrama/tragedy but not that accentuated. I'm probably biased by these two songs being from Sakamoto but they also take me to Japan. Thanks!
Especially honeythief, I've seen people describe it as trip hop, but I haven't found any song that would give similar empty (dystopian?) vibes
Let's say the only music I like is Savage Garden what would you recommend to be?
