IIL Songs Before Bed by Pudding Club, ie. cozy, dreamy, calm music to play when getting ready for bed

I've relistened to this album so many times, it's calm and incredibly cozy. Another album I've smashed through with my bedtime routine is L'Universe De La Mer by Dominique Guiot. I'd love more album recommendations which feel have this feeling of almost already being lost in the land of dreams. Thanks!

IIL RPG’s that don’t involve hours of reading text.

Just played Chrono Trigger and it was fun. Tried another RPG and I’d play two hours, all of which was devoted to reading, loading screens, and a 10 minute battle in the middle.

I read books and watch movies for stories. I’ve never cared much about a video game’s stories. I don’t want to spend my whole lunch break reading about the financial relations between the house of Cygardia and the royal family. Makes me want to claw my eyeballs out.

Games like Shining Force, Chrono Trigger are great. Any other suggestions of RPG’s that are video games and not full visual novels would be great. Thanks.

IIL Female fronted southern rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hi all. I’m looking for something like Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crows, & Molly Hachet but with a female singer? This seems to be a hard find for me. I’ve searched the internet, maybe you can help.

Sub-question: why do you think we don’t see many women in groups like this?

[IIL] Like a Tattoo by Sade

I really love the vibe of this song and the way it makes me feel. Specifically the guitar, the piano, and the style of the vocals. I haven't been able to find anything similar to it. Any suggestions?

IIL Clown Core

I'm a fan of the anonymous musical duo Clown Core and their loud, abrasive, unpredictable and meme-y sounds. I'm already familiar with Louis Cole, who's speculated to be the drummer of the duo, and he scratches a similar itch. But I want more :)

IIL the songs below

Mama- my chemical romance

The trial- Pink Floyd

Or just songs in general that are very dramatic, I’m into mostly rock and metal but I can listen to almost any genre. I’m into concept albums and songs with dark stories aswell.

IIL Pretty Toxic Revolver by MGK WEWIL

I’m trying to find authentic, spoken word or rap type music by different artists that then transfers into singing (or screaming) at times. Would also be really cool if I could find women and LGBT ones but not required.

Part of what I love about it is also how there’s such a heartfelt rawly honest feel even through the music video where it’s just MGK sitting solo out in drizzling rain and almost acoustic vibes (even though I know it’s edited but I just mean the more subdued tones).

Is there a website where you can put in a link for an exact song to find musically similar ones? And why does it seem so hard to find songs with a similar mood by women or maybe I‘m just being subconsciously biased

IIL The album “Serenada Schizophrana” (2004) - Danny Elfman because of creative but non-dramatic dark moods in orchestra form.

It’s difficult to describe it, because it’s unique to him (in my world, at least). The Internet surely knows better.

Without quoting his extensive Wikipedia style and inspirations sections, I’d say - playfully dark, emotional but with maybe a former punk-adjacent at the helm, if I’m being greedy about it. Orchestra, instrumental.

I love music scores/musicals. I have a ton of Rodgers & Hammerstein. John Williams, Hermann, Philip Glass, Igor Stravinsky, Bela Bartok, Gershwin.

My favorite is Ennio Morricone. But it’s a different mood for different times. As is Trent Reznor.

Based on all this gibberish - WEWIL?

IIL Anyone have music that sounds like the guitar from this song?

https://youtu.be/yXrlhebkpIQ?si=4aIkA6S6tE45LtHe

It’s the On My Mind by Jorja Smith live on Tiny Desk. The guitar in this song is beautiful and kind of sounds like Soukous music, but I’m not sure, anyone got music that’s similar to this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for you’re time.

IIL visually striking TV shows, WEWIL?

I find that a majority of the shows I tend to really enjoy have really strong visuals. Off the top of my head, Severance, Chernobyl, Dark, and Mad Men all occupy this realm and I loved all of them. Do you guys know of any other shows that showcase this kind of effort and commitment to style?

[IIL] Isaac “wicked game” or Sundays “wild horses” *for couple slow dancing*, what else goes on this playlist?

[IIL] Isaak “wicked game” and sundays “wild horses” *for slow dancing* together at home … what else should I try? Hard to explain what exactly is sought here that makes other posts and comments not really fit. I mean here in particular for a couple, dancing alone, which is kind of the opposite of the question I’ve seen about a song for a wedding first dance. First thing is the feel and the rhythm for such slow dancing. For lyrics it is best if possibly to be Romantic, yearn-y … desire-y. that is good. But not “I am so great” or “you are so great” or even “we are so great” but the feeling of wanting, yearning, desiring.

Lots of lyrics could be disqualifying for this purpose. I like george Michael but “Father Figure” would be bad for this: a kind of dancing we wouldn’t want to do with dad.

i don’t mean to criticize anyone’s tastes but just what would work for me here or not: *Rock* songs slowed down that I read about seem not to fit the desired feel: That Clapton song about wonderful tonight seems wrong to me … somehow condescending or self-congratulatory. Not yearning or desire. That Mayer song seems more like smooth rock in some sense that somehow doesn’t fit. Indie, alt seem more likely to fit. Pop could be ok. For random reasons savage garden “truly madly” works. But maybe that is already kind of alt-pop, not sure.

Maybe Portishead “glory box” which I see recommended. … need to try, not sure. Maybe there’s some massive attack in this neighborhood?

maybe there’s old stuff that works? Not sure.

any ideas?

IIL emotional, uplifting songs

For example "I'm Here" from the colour purple.

Preferably stuff that crescendos and feels emotionally warm by the end.

IIL the intimacy of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon, but with piano instead of guitar, WEWIL?

Love pink moon. It sounds like he wrote it secretly for me. Nothing flashy or cool, just songs from the heart. I hear too much guitars in what I listen to, and want just solo piano, or really anything instead of guitar as the lead instrument.

Already know works of Sufjan Stevens, Paul Simon and Elliot Smith.

IIL indie/alternative bands, how do I feel more human

I just want more music that allows me to tap into my emotional side. I only have 3 10/10 albums:

Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

Now, Not Yet - half•alive

SaintMotelevision - Saint Motel

Ants from up there is like a 9.99/10, it's my "it has to be better than this to be a 10" album.

I also love Mac Demarco, Strokes, Rex, Mac Miller, but love the doors, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and Billy Joel

Tl:Dr you pretty much can't go wrong with what you reconnect me, I just feel like I'm losing touch with my emotions slowly as the days go on by (tmi, but im on a knock-off antidepressant being used for a migraine suppressant)

IIL Uncle Boonmee and Embrace the Serpent

Looking for artful, poetic movies like the above. What I really liked about both was the focus on mythology/stories of spoken word, translated into cinema. I enjoy an ethnographic approach to movie making- paired with beautiful, sensitive cinematography. Anyone have any ideas? Open to TV shows too. Much appreciated!

IIL Pink + White by Frank Ocean, what others songs would you suggest ?

I really like its vibe. It’s kinda peaceful, but dancy at the same time. Also a little jazzy. I dig that, would love to find something similar. I’m not really familiar with Frank Ocean's discography by the way.
