Does anyone else have a song in their playlist, or one they’ve heard that almost feels like it was written for you?
Mine is Takes Me Nowhere, by The Offspring. Feels like the lyrics almost perfectly describe my life before my belt. But there’s also the repeating line “I can start again” in it, feels good putting the rest behind me.
Anyone else have a similar song or songs?
Songs That Describe
- Edited
Mostly I have anime songs and Japanese music on my playlist. Many are about chasing for dreams, I think it fits me a lot. Most gives me hope and not to give up things just because I've failed once.
Opened my eyes on who I am in 6 years ago, saving up for transition, dealing with unsupportive family caused me massive stress. It just led me to at the point I wanted to take my life and many cheerful anime / Japanese idol songs with bright themes helped me to maintain my sanity, then I met my partner within fandom around 4.5 years ago who is always on my side with who I am.
Would be amusing if someone had The Loophole by Garfunkel and Oates. Not linking to it though, I feel some members here would find the themes quite offensive.
As for myself, The Soulforged by Blind Guardian, based on the Dragonlance novels comes close. A bit overly dramatic, sure, but some of Raistlin's thoughts and boasts sure seem relatable
There is a great rock singer named Cui Jian in China. He has a relatively new song named "Jì xù" (carry on). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj05Zi435i0 It's the second song in the video. I often feel that the song is about myself, who has been continuously bullied by the people in power.
I guess this one is inappropriate...
