For me it’s “We won’t be a alone” by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.
This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.
Edit: grammar mistake corrections
Rum & bass by boom kitty
Not quite the same vibe as the rest here but this song makes me feel like I could walk through a cement wall and fist fight an army
Great on a rowing machine at the gym if you really want to set a PR
Witch by TotalDeadCenter hits similarly
Kill 'em All era Metallica, or the MTV acoustic Alice in Chains.
I love Layne’s voice! AIC was one of my favorite bands.
Best ever chill metal song: Orion.
For me, I’ve gotta say “Machine Messiah”, by Yes. It’s one of the longest, and most interesting songs I’ve heard. Most songs have just one “mood” explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I’m very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also–is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)
YouTube link for anyone else who wants to check it out/listen to it: Machine Messiah (2008 Remaster) and Machine Messiah (1980?)
/edit: My personal assessment: Too wild/disorganized for me :P

HAHA yes it surely is. Shadow with a watermelon helmet is one of my favorite Sonic memes.
Sonic is maybe for kids but it’s my childhood so I do not care what people say about it. Anyway thanks for the comment 😁
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen
John Safran - Not the Sunscreen Song
😁😁
“Hits hard” may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?
- Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Live at Brighton Great Escape 2010)
- The Cranberries - Zombie
- Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
- The intro soundbit on Infinity Train
- The episode intros of Jobless Reincarnation (“Mushoku Tensei”) (song with video mix) - always with episode relevant content, showing the world, incredible world-building, with its amazing harmonic conclusion)
Creating the list made me wonder what more I could list so I took a peek into my music collection. Maybe Neil Young, which reminds me of my deceased mother (I didn’t include it here). Or other genres that would fit too, given that I do listen to a lot of or more of other genres. I found more highlights:
- The This Will Destroy You songs I Believe in Your Victory, The World Is Our ___, Threads
- Hula Hooper - Reach
- Sylvan Esso - Die Young (Echo Mountain Sessions)
- Sylvan Esso - Coffee (NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert) (the first song)
- Juli - Dieses Leben
- Samy Deluxe - One Take Wonder 2 Meisterplan
- Banyan Tree - Feel The Sun Rise (until 2:09; transitions great into next song; a sunrise into wakeup beat; I have only the first on a mix CD in my car, and I always intuitively expect the followup but something different follows 😄)

Long time Nine inch nails fan. Love everything he’s done.
Hear Johnny Cash do Hurt.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yeah that song hits quite hard
I didn’t know it by name, but it’s an iconic classic. I immediately recognized it.

Oh man. That song is all the feels. Even Trent Reznor said Johnny did it better.
Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, it always makes me think of good time with my ex. Sting like a bullet train everytime i listen to it.
The Babysitter’s Here - Dar Williams
Told from the perspective of a little kid, the emotions are just so immediate. I could go on about how nuanced the lyrics and emotion are but man, such a great song.
Runner up: Murder In the City - Avett Brothers
Man, that line: “Make sure my sister knows I loved her”, in the past tense, oof
Cecily Smith by Will Connolly is just some bonus track from a musical I’ve never seen or heard but every time I hear it I almost weep.
I love my wife very much and the core concept of “life isn’t about the things that we do it’s who we are doing them with” is a core ethos to my life, so the song is personally very relatable.
the folk song “Pretty Saro”
Selena - No Me Queda Más
Arctic Monkeys - 505
Eminem - Headlights
KXNG Crooked - Order 66 (Musar)
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
I’m currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.
Part of this song is about how fast life goes by, not just the dad not being there. Sad to say you can’t fix that.
I actually don’t have much of a problem with that.
If I die tomorrow, I’ll have a smile on my face knowing I’ve lived well.
On the other hand I’m still looking forward cause life keeps getting better.
Originally from Harry Chapin.
All three “parts” of Metallica - The Unforgiven God, those lyrics…
But 2 though, is something specialer
I love how when he sings “or are you unforgiven too?” in my head I picture it as “or are you unforgiven 2?”, with both fitting the lyrics.
Guess you should go search for more Laura’s songs.Ii love her voice too!
yeah I already visited her website. I like it too.
Lately, Bjork - Stonemilker
