Amazing songs with questionable lyrics

16 Upvotes

• "I Saw Her Standing There" by The Beatles. A seminal Beatles classic and literally the first song in their first album. One Paul still performs to this day, but opens with "she was just seventeen / you know what I mean" sheesh

• "Poison" by Bell Biv Devoe. A classic and one of my favorite rap songs of all time. But on no occasion is it ok to say "never trust a big butt and a smile, that girl is poison"

• "96,000" from In The Heights. One of the greatest songs in Broadway history, but why the hell does Benny say "Donald Trump and I on the links"???? In no occasion should any reasonable person wanna be friends with him. This only gets a pass since Trump wasn't a politician in the time of the writing of the song, but still... this aged poorly.

What are some of your examples where you listen to and like the song, but when that one lyric shows up you're like... dang.

Best songs about depression/mental health struggles?

16 Upvotes

What are some good songs (older or newer) about having depression or struggling with mental health?

New Music

6 Upvotes

I don’t quite know what I am searching for but I would like to add some new music to my rotations. I love songs that draw you in. Some of my favorite artists/ albums are Swell Season, the National (Trouble Will Find Me!), Hurray for the Riff Raff, Taylor Swift’s Folklore, Bruce Springsteen, Imogen Heep, and Jose Gonzalez.

On a different note- I also need some more upbeat things… some house party songs? I’ve been in a bit of a phase listening to slower songs.

Please send recommendations! I will listen to anything even if it is out of my usual vibe- I have a long work commute and need some new material.

I'm trying to expand a playlist that's been collecting cobwebs.. I'm not looking for a "looking outside the car window" vibe, more like a "all alone in a cold 2000s apartment" vibe.

Get into the best of spanish songs

6 Upvotes

Here are some songs recommendations in spanish, My first language is spanish and is a shame seeing that barely anyone here in the US listen to any of these, so please give it a try :)
(I’m gonna put the original title in spanish and next to it the english version of the title)

By Bandalos Chinos, they are like the Beatles (if they were born at this decade) from argentina lol:
-Mi Fiesta (My Party)
-Vamonos de viaje (Let’s go on a trip)
-Departamento (Apartment)
-Demasiado (Too Much)
-No,No,No (it’s literally the same in both spanish and english)
- Sin Señal (no signal)
-Una propuesta (A Proposal)
-Paranoia pop (Paranoia pop)
-Me estoy enamorando (I’m falling in love)
-Nunca estuve aca (I was never here)

Now by Jose Jose! He would be the equivalent to a mexican Frank Sinatra, In fact Frank Sinatra did a cover of one of Jose Jose’s songs and he did too!

-El Amar y el querer (Loving and affection)
-El Triste (The Sad man)
-La Nave del olvido (The Ship of oblivion)
-Preso (Prisioner)
-Lo dudo (I don’t believe it)
-El (Him)
-El dia mas triste del mundo (The saddest day in earth)

And here’s Luis Miguel, he would be something like
the George Michael of Mexico, I dare to say Luis Miguel is way better than him!! (That’s how good he is)

-Ahora te puedes marchar (Now you can leave)
-La incondicional (The Loyal woman)
-La Mentira (The lie)
-Hasta que me olvides (Until you forget about me)
-La media vuelta (Turn Around)
-Culpable o no (Guilty or not guilty)
-Por Debajo de la mesa (Under the table)
-Sabor a mi (Taste of me)
-Entregate (Give it to me)

Mon Laferte!!! She’s the Mexican-Chilenan Amy Winehouse!! If Winehouse had lived a little longer they would definetly colaborated :(

-Tu tanta falta de querer (Your lack of desire)
-Mi Buen amor (My good love)
-Una Mañana (A morning ft Jose Jose)
-Si tu me quisieras (If you loved me)
-Melancolia (Melancholy)
-Amarrame (Tied up)
-Amor Completo (Fully Loved)
-Tiempos Violentos (Hard Times)
-Que nadie sepa mi sufrir (Nobody can know my suffering)
-Cancion de mierda (Fucking Song)
-Un alma en pena (A Sorrow soul)

Kevin Kaarl!!! He would be our Mexican Mac Demarco!! Everybody knows Kevin Kaarl here!

-Colapso (Collapse)
-San Lucas (Saint Lucas)
-Vamonos a marte (Let’s move to mars)
-Amor viejo (Old Love)
-Paris,Texas
-Dos Almas (Two souls)
-Siento (I feel)
-Selfish pretty girl
-Que pasa si me voy? (What if I leave)
-Piensa en mi de vez en cuando (Think about me once in a while)
-Recuerdame por siempre (Remember me forever)
-Te quiero tanto (I love you so much)
-Llora mas (Cry even more)
-Nunca te supe cuidar (I never knew how to take care of you)
-Me va a costar (It’s gonna be hard)

Juan Gabriel!!! Our own Freddy Mercury! Gay and a strong vocal voice! One of the most popular concerts ever was by him!

-Hasta que te conoci (Until I meet you)
-Yo no naci para amar (I didn’t born to ever love)
-Querida (Darling)
-Abrazame fuerte (Hold me and don’t let go)
-¿porque me haces llorar? (Why you make me cry?)
-Si quieres (If you want to)
-El Noa Noa (The Noa Noa) (Fun fact:Noa Noa is a gay bar)
-En la Frontera (At the borderline)
-Buenos dias señor sol (Good Morning Mr sunshine)
-No tengo dinero (I don’t have money)
-Siempre en mi mente (Always on my mind)
-Amor eterno (Eternal love)
-Aunque te enamores (Even if you fall in love again)

Natalia Lafourcede, she would be something like Adele!

-Hasta la raiz (Deep inside)
-Nunca es suficiente (It’s never enough)
-Soledad y el mar (Loneliness and the sea)
-Soy lo prohibido (I’m the prohibited)
-Ya no vivo por vivir (I found a reason to live)
-Ella es bonita (She’s beautiful)
-Amor,Amor de mis amores (One of my loves)
-Azul (Blue)
-Te puedes matar (You could die)
-Volvere (I’ll be back)

Los abuelos de la nada! They would be the argentinian version of The Smiths, like is scary how similar they are from each other

-Mil Horas (A Thousand Hours) (A true classic)
-Lunes por la madrugada (Monday before morning)
-Costumbres argentinas (Argentina’s Culture)
-Cosas mias (Some stuff of mine)
-Asi es el calor (That’s how heat acts)

-Hermana Teresa (Sister Cherry)
-Policias y ladrones (Cops and thiefs)

I hate how picky I am about my music

6 Upvotes

Recently have started watching the show Supernatural (again, for the first time since I was a kid), and started taking a deeper plunge into rock and metal because of it. Through this plunge, I discovered, probably one of my favorite all time rock songs

How the Gods Kill - Danzig

I keep chasing this high, it was simply the sickest shit I’ve ever heard and I need more. I also like to write, and music is a huge inspiration for me. This one was HUGE. I can’t find anything else like it

Help

What should be added to this playlist?

7 Upvotes

I have never made a proper playlist until now and I have 70 songs rn but I wonder what other songs I just am unaware of. I like most genres but I am not fond of country music
Some of the songs/artists on my playlist are:
Copacabana by Barry Manilo
I by Kendrick Lamar
Wonder, flashing lights, homecoming, and all falls down by Kanye west
Most songs by the paradox (a newer band similar to Green Day)
A few songs by boywithuke (my favorite artist of all time)
Borderline by tame impala
Babydoll by Dominic fike
Every other weekend by blink 182
Bring me to love by evanescence
Fuel by Metallica
Cry me a river by Justin Timberlake
Stress relief by late night drive home
On the floor by Jennifer Lopez
Can’t stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers
A bunch of Radiohead songs
A few Kendrick Lamar songs
Paint it black by the Rolling Stones (I don’t know many songs like it but I REALLY like it)
A little bit of Frank Sinatra
Chicago by Michael Jackson (only mj song so far I’ll probably add others so any specific songs from him that NEED to be added are welcome)
Some stuff by arctic monkeys but I definitely need more of their songs
Tonight the streets are ours by Richard Hawley

There’s definitely more but I hope that gives a gist of what’s on there for any recommendations please and thank you
