You know the song and so do I
It was the song that I was…thinking of!
"Suicide Is Painless"
Just to absolutely annoy people, I'd probably go with a song I find very annoying and long. Probably something like Cannon in D, one I guarantee everybody has heard, even if they don't know the name.
Joke's on you, I fucking love Canon in D.
Jokes back on you, you said they'd feel the same emotions as the person who chose. So you would feel a song you previously loved and adored would be long and annoying. Possibly altering your feelings for the song permanently!
Wake Up - RATM
People need to get really fucking angry and start causing serious trouble for those that are burning our home and hurting our friends.
I'm noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up
The emotion: mild amusement
Welcome my son,
welcome, to the machine.
Where have you been?
It’s alright, we know where you’ve been.
Welcome to the Machine, Pink Floyd
This is already frequently in my head.
Ren : Hi Ren
I hope you are well friend!
Not at all. Never really have been though and it's been 43 years so at least I'm used to it.
Thank you. Surprisingly unvulgar and not at all cynical
43 rotations here as well. I think it's really hard to see any joy when we have grown up in a world that only seems to constantly take our happiness away at every turn.
I find solace in knowing this is all temporary and thankfully, the world will go on without us. Whether that's us as individuals or are species as a whole.
Until either of those inevitable points though, know that to some small degree you are not alone and there's at least one random stranger on the internet who is thinking about you in a caring way today.
Not the person you replied to, but that's pretty sensible. Thanks for the perspective
Cheers friend. Good luck out there.
Happy Birthday, if I've gotta sit there quietly and feel awkward, so do all of you
Ænima by TOOL
I wanna see it all flushed away.
I sure could use a vacation
For me it'd be Better Than That by Sub-Radio.

Those that have spent a few years on Reddit might remember them doing live shows back when they were less known. As a band, they're basically just pure pop-punk joy, and I think people could use a little joy lately.
Only moron and genius
Would fight a losing battle
Against the super ego
When giving in is so damn comforting
And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can?
Admit defeat, live in decline
24 years later, I still get chills every time I listen to this song.
Same emotions?
On a good day by Above and Beyond.
I first heard it at a rave, rolling on ecstacy, going through pretty bad depression. It was during their "Group Therapy" set. I felt so connected to everyone around me. So peaceful. So understood. I cared and loved everyone around me and I felt the same in return. Sure, I was high. But it was a moment a decade ago that I can still remember vividly, and a point where I started taking my mental health seriously and started to deal with it and finally start to feel good about myself.
ZSK - Antifascista we always need more, proud, dangerous, commited antifascists.
For me, this song is an example of a bold, counter rightwing-populism narrative. We need more strong and proud narratives on the left, to tell people they can feel important, powerful, accepted and part of something important - on the morally correct side of history.
Smooth Sailing - Queens of the Stone Age
This song has such an incredible vibe. It was played a lot on tour after shows. In the truck, the hotel, the bar. Wherever.
Reminds me of the good days of making music and hanging out with some of my favorite people. I'd like the whole world to feel free, loved and valid all at once. Might just make a difference.
Enigma - Principles of Lust
No time for fighting when we’re all busy fucking to new age 90’s sex anthems
Parabol/Parabola by Tool. That song can bring me to tears.
Megadeth, Symphony of Destruction
shame Mustaine is such a chud. I genuinely can't listen to Megadeth anymore.
I struggled with that a lot when I learned he was a born again evangelical these days, but the messages in his earlier work are still valid. There are so few metal bands with good technical sound and solid vocals. I think with him, I didn't see how his narcissism and religion tainted the earlier work.
Now Metallica, they tried the ruin the Internet and hurt a lot of good people doing it too. Fuck Metallica.
Yeah Metallica still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, both from their war on Napster but also the whole Guantanamo torture thing, and James' shitass response and non-apology (metallica isn't political?? my ass...)
Nujabes: Luv Sic.
Hiromi Uehara - Deep into the night
...because I think everyone need to chill the fuck down.
If that doesn't work, I'll go with Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation so everyone can fuck the chill up instead.
The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it's a farce.
Outside it's 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.
And I don't know what's going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn't one that makes me feel warm.
Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.
Sweet Carol Line 😏
