song: cant help falling in love with you - Elvis Presley. This song became “my song” when I first figured out I was into girls as well as boys. I never considered girls before this point in my life and it was a whole new world of options to me. I find out about my love for girls because of this ONE specific girl. I would listen to this song and constantly think of her. I couldn’t help falling in love with her. Problem was, she was straight. As a board. still is. It’s been YEARS lol. But yeaah im not gonna go super into detail because it gets depressing, but that song holds a special place in mah heart ️
First off, congrats! For my song of choice I’d probably have to pick radio - Lana del rey. It’s generally a pretty calm song and has helped me through some uh not so great moments. I relied on it to help with some of my panic attacks and just to call me down when I was really stressed because of everything going on in my life. It was actually introduced to me by my then best friend before she moved and it reminds me of her every time I listen to it I still catch up with her occasionally but for me, the song is like a small part of her that never left. So yeaaa sorry if this was depressing
Wiseeee mennn sayyyyy This song was the og tbh. I listened to it sm when I was crushing on my first love
Song: Hailey’s Song by Eminem. When I hear this song, all I feel is a clench in my heart. I grew up listening to Eminem, & as much as this song is about fatherly love, I never received it. My mother & I would sing this every time but with the lyrics changed to make it more like motherly love. It’s our special song & forever will be. Thank you for reading this, if you did. have a good day/night. ?
ilusm, gnash when I think of this song I remember the point in my life when I hit a really dark time. I cried a lot to this song. I listened to this a lot when the guy I was on&off with was currently not around because he didn’t understand how “I could feel happy for a moment then not wanting to live the next”. I didn’t love myself because I gave him everything. I guess when the song played, it felt more like a conversation between us. I was always the one telling him how much I loved him. And he was always the one that was busy or didn’t want to hear it. I eventually grew away from the previous boy, but I wasn’t going to make him ruin a good song. I listened to the song as I was still recovering from my depression and figured the song could also be a conversation with myself. an inner battle. 3 years later and I still today listen to this song with a different meaning. how much my current boyfriend loves me and how much I love him. We both have dealt with bad past relationships and how this has been our best one yet. We both have ups and downs from here and there, but we just continue to pull through and get stronger. I hope you listen to the song & find your own personal interpretation of it!!
Hard Feelings/Loveless - Lorde I was in (virtual) relationship to a guy last year and we were so fine and we both like each other then one day, stupidity came and I got bored, became busy in life. I feel so sh i tt y about myself like why the heck I thought of that? Then everything gets cold. Dry conversation and lifeless messages. It took a week before I decided to make an apology video for him but before I can send him the 145mb video (with background music: Hard Feelings/Loveless) he broke up with me. So the video is deleted now and the memories are fading but when I hear that song, it refreshes back automatically and it makes my mood drop.
Another Cup- Lil peep.. When I hear this song makes me remember to not give up on life.. when I was suicidal this song keep me going.. or majority of lil peeps songs are good
song: Masterpiece by Jessie J ... When I hear it it reminds me that the past is past and that I'm not perfect but I don't have to be .. It took a while but I'm happy and I owe that to a few close people and for me I'm still working on my masterpiece .. Corny but IDC lol
Jasper by Aidan Knight gives me the feels. My sister and I used to belt it out in my car when i picked her up from her friends house or parties. Reminds me of her ? no she's not dead i just love her
Song: how can I help you say goodbye by Patty loveless. Heard this song..as my family left...new York...for the last time... looking out the rear window of our...Chevy station wagon... watching my grandparents and my best friend... As we drove away...it always brings tears to my eyes thinking about the day we..left and how our lives...changed that day...not always for the best..now my grandfather has passed...my best friend and I don't...speak much if at all...and my grandmother pushes through each day without the love of her life...
Marchin on by OneRepublic It reminds me of a neighbor/friend I had many years ago. I posted this song on my social media and my friend talked to me about it. I was surprised he even knew the song bc I didn't think anyone I knew was familiar with it, so it was nice to bond over. We would hang out around our neighborhood all the time and we became good friends. He was a foster kid, so eventually he moved away and I lost contact with him. The phone he had was only temporary and he never logged into his social media after. I never heard from him again. It's a bittersweet memory bc I'm reminded of our hang outs but also that I don't know anything about his life now. When I listen to this song I wonder about him and how he's doing today.
hi im loving listening to these songs & im so thankful i picked this topic to be able to read these memories & stories.
