Music rabbit hole.
Posted by rich22201@reddit | GenX | View on Reddit | 24 comments
Sometimes, especially after drinking I’ll start listening to music on YouTube. I’ll fall into this rabbit hole of songs I get emotional to. Some of it is nostalgic or associated with a memory or the song just resonates.
Lately it’s songs by
Olivia Newton John
Susanna Hoffs
Cranberries
Enigma
etc…
Anybody else fall into this rabbit hole. What songs resonate with you?

Oh it gets really wild for me.
The first time I kissed a girl was at the skating rink when I was in 6th grade, as they were playing "Please Don't Go" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band.
Of course neither one of us had a clue what the lyrics meant.
We "went steady" for a WHOLE MONTH after that kiss. 🤣
If I hear that song today I think of how young, naive, and innocent that time was. 💔

Such a great sappy song though

I have no idea who the artist is or even the name of the song, when it came out or anything, but on YouTube... it’s called "inside your love (swales in Detroit edit).
So groovy and irresistible.

Yeah, Cranberries. Sarah McLaughlin. Jewel. Certain U2 songs. Chris Isaac. See a pattern here? Yeah, my heart was broken and this music helps me deal with the feelings that society says men aren't allowed to feel.
Strong and stoic, right?
On the outside, you bet. But dealing with all that through music is helpful. It's therapeutic. Don't keep it locked away, get it out and deal with it. These songs help me. Eventually, it fades and the playlist changes, but for me it took years.

I like Blue Hotel by Chris Issac, does he have any similar songs?

The other day I heard Time Stand Still by Rush for the first time in a few decades and it was a major gut punch. I never paid attention to the lyrics before, but now they are rather devastating.

Seriously. I just experienced this song in a gut wrenching way a few weeks ago.

So is Far Cry, IMO. The song hits me pretty hard. It’s definitely a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit.

My music rabbit hole journeys are usually a genre exploration.
Put “thrash metal” in YouTube and click on the mix link.
Or Progressive Metal, same thing.
I have discovered a lot of new bands this way.
One oddball highlight is the band Darkwater. Apparently their music hasn’t been released in the US, as of the last time I checked. So, I can’t buy the CD, but I really enjoy some of their songs.

Music is always associated to a point in time, either good or bad. It all just depends on what artist/song/album resonates with you at the time.

A few months ago I went down a Slothrust rabbit hole. And then Khruangbin for a while. Just sounded fresh in an old way.

The Alanis rabbithole is calling for you.

Depeche Mode then depending on what YouTube comes up with next, could lead to anywhere down memory lane.

I went down the rabbit hole with The Cult a couple days ago.

Never heard of this behavior. it needs to be documented for potential advertising tactics. You know to help the entitled billionairs recoup from non cooperative consumers.

Forever Young - is the only answer

Alphaville or Rod Stewart?

Phil Collins Paradise hits me good

Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.

Recently, Take it Easy on Me by Adele and an old James Taylor song have brought a tear to my eye. Both resonate for the same very specific reason/person. As I age, I have been reflecting on my life and choices and these two songs reflect very specific choices, one mine and one someone else’s, that affected my life and by extension my kids’ lives.
