Liability by lorde, This song is really important to me because I struggle with depression and anxiety and like the words in that song are exactly how I feel
First off, I loved the concept of the contest. Second, this is a hard one, because I eirher don't (strongly) attach memories or significant moments or people to songs because I love music itself, lyrics and a good combo of both, and singing is my passion in life... Or I either associate TOO MANY songs to too many significant moments... Story first: march 2017. I get my bachelor, but things don't go well after that when it comes to find a job. Some months after that mother passed away and the living relatives remaining: aunt and uncle, were my only left authority figures (like parents in the good and the bad aspects of it). Mother never was good with authority, tbh. Anyway, the thing is I was pressed to study for a job I didn't want to do at all... Totally not my vocation. And not only that, but they (especially aunt) also are that kind of people that tells you how to live every step of your life: "put on more make up, do this, do that". Small town minded and "I fix everyone's life" personality. Annoying asf combo. Don't get me wrong, i love them, they gave me a lot and I wouldn't be where i am without them... But i always felt i didn't fit, i was the awkward, the black sheep. Add to this, I'm bisexual (when my aunt discovered it, turned to be supportive, it slightly surprised me) and I lived YEARS listening to homophobic remarks in family meetings. Not the most extreme type, but the ones reinforcing stereotypes, etc. September 2017, mom already passed away and i got a job opportunity in another city and province, quite far from where i lived before, with family around... (I also had a temporary underpaid job with them just until i would get something related to my field so i wouldn't starve nor be a leech). Mom wasn't there anymore, I had no partner, no decent job. Nothing retaining me there. So I took the chance!! Family supported and encouraged it, btw. As much as it may be difficult to affront adult life alone for first time (well I had a friend guiding my first steps into the bureaucracy and paperwork to get the job and letting me stay with him a couple of days until I went to a sort of hostel), I felt so liberated... Finally DISTANCE AND FREEDOM OF ALL THE SOCIAL PRESSURE (well not all, but family's). Finally an opportunity yo start over!!!! Although I still have to work in something I don't love, I am investing the money I make in what I truly love (singing classes, hopefully adding drama and dance this year. Also learning to dance Tango now). Even if music isn't what I do for a livig, just to learn to properly breath and handle my voice, going to karaoke, or joining a choir makes me happy (p.s.: I swear im not tune deaf) . I finally cut my chains. All of this is strongly attached to: WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT by Twisted Sister That's it. Sorry for the novel.
Edit: cause I just want you guys to know me & my mom didn't have the relationship I wanted we barely talked or watched movies together like a daughter & mother should, I moved out at 18, my mom died 7 days before my 21st birthday & meant my son twice after he was born in March 2016, & passed July 2016 my second son she never got to meet, but I pray everyday she's watching down on us, I'll continue to grow mama n be the best I can be, I'm getting married this year & she wont be there spend every moment with the people you love & cherish because one day they may NOT be there
This too shall pass- danny schmidt I started listening to this song because it was one of the songs used in the podcast Welcome To Nightvale, and i really liked the slow jam and instrumentals. I guess the song just really hits me both in the sense that it’s humbling and motivating at the same time. Although another part of me enjoys this song for self-deprecating reasons. I like listening to it both when i need some motivation in life and i need to push through with the challenges in life, but mostly I listen to it when I feel sullen and want to just be emotional and sad. I guess i like listening to this song because of its irony: the title implies positivity but the feeling I get from this song is more on loneliness and sadness. Idk i like how the song allows me time to have “feels” while still enjoying the lyrics
Family Portrait -Pink I never had a good childhood growing up and whenever I listened to this song I realized there are people that are going through what I am. My mom always wanted the "perfect" family to the public a d if me or my sisters were less then that there was a screaming match in the house. My dad left when I was around 9 because he couldn't handle it anymore.
Song: Can I have this dance from HSM3. Memory: I had a very close friend back in middle school. Like that type of friend everyone wants you to end up with (we've been friends for about 12 years now, but he's gay). He and I both adored high school musical and watched the movie together when the third one came out into theatres. We both used that song to learn how to waltz properly and always would practice. When I was a senior in high school, he made the most elaborate promposal that started on April fools day and lasted until the end of the week. He even played that song at the end of it when he actually asked me to prom instead of leaving hints all the other days. The day prom came, he and I waltzed to the slow songs being the only ones that knew how to because of watching that scene and listening to that song more times than I could count. Each time I hear it,it still reminds me of that time back in high school, and I'm working on my Masters degree now.
well I have multiple but I’ll try to not put too many anyways here we go don’t say you love me - by fifth harmony, well besides that they were my fav band, this song is really relatable because I have lots of people say it before and they haven’t left me or hurt me, and I’m like why say it if you don’t really mean it, and like the song says “don’t say you love me unless you do” hits hard cause you don’t want them saying it unless they really mean it. mirror by bazzi this song really relates to when I’m in my certain moods and sad and etc, like at times I can’t even recognize myself but, he’s mostly saying how he’s having a feeling he can’t explain and that’s how I feel most times, like you don’t know how to put it into words but you know you’re feeling something, a line that’s relatable is when he says “I don’t wanna feel like this anymore” and “I know I’m made for more than this” something like that. lies by marina and the diamonds it’s about loving someone but them not loving you back the first line is relatable asf “you’re never gonna love me so what’s the use” there’s those time where you like someone but they don’t feel the same and you even know that but you don’t wanna accept it, it’s mostly about not wanting to let that person go and wishing you were liked by them ride by lana del rey, any song by her is gr8 and especially this album, but I like the part where she says I just ride and that she’s tired of feeling fücking crazy, and that she has a war in her mind, cause some days that’s a mood and you just wanna escape it, so you try to keep going
here’s the non emo ones lol how I like it by maluma, off this album it’s my fav song, bit on the naughty side ? haha but anyways I like it and what he says in the song is relatable and makes me think of someone low key by ally brooke, my other baby, one of her new songs so check it out, anyways it’s really catchy and I like it cause she’s saying to get to know the real her, and not just what you see, which most people should do, learn about the person more, especially don’t judge by what you see never be the same by camila cabello, I have so many babies omf lmao, I love all her songs and from this album but this is my fav, it reminds me of someone and how they impacted me in life and what good they brought me, and like the title says I’ll definitely never be the same without them, I just appreciate them v much, plus a nice song to jam out too remedy by adele one of the queens, another great women, I like this song because I like being there for others and taking care of them, “I will be your remedy” that no matter what happens I’ll be there, or at least try my best to, you’re not alone, even with everything seems going wrong there is light at the end of the tunnel
The song that I really listen to a lot now is "Happier " By Marshmello and Bastille. Like k know it's suppose to be about a break up but it means more to me. Everytime I hear it, I think about my late father and how no matter what pain he was going through he just wanted me to be happy. Even through all the pain that he had because of his cancer, he would always tell me to be happy and to give him a smile.This song makes me relive the times I had with him. My dad wasn't that active in my life so all of the moments I have with him is constantly treasured. I still remember everytime I saw him how he will always remember how he loved to see me happy and I was like the light in the dark for him.
Song: Medicine by Bring Me The Horizon. When I listen to this song I realise how better off I am now that I’m not in a toxic relationship anymore and how much better I feel.
For my song I havee to pick DNA by BTS. This was the first song of theirs that I listened to. I can just remember the excitement and happiness I had when I listened to it. This memory will stay with me forever because if I had not listened to this song, I may have never been who I am today. BTS changed my life for the better and I’ll never forget that.
Song "I found" by amber run. This song shows so much meaning and memories....memories I TRY to forget. It's such a beautiful and well put together song that I dedicate to my sister that has passed away. I question myself daily "Maybe If I did this differently" or "Maybe If I was more there for her" she would still be here. But I KNOW Itwas more of her fighting her demons. And i still love her. And i always will. She'll always be my little sister. If i dont win any prizes.. That's alright.I just want to spread the words ..words i find hard to say. Maybe spend more time with your family. Your siblings. Call your mom when you arent busy, because let's be honest...Death is so unexpected.
Older and taller by Regina Spektor. It reminds me of a good friend of mine. Not for any particular reason, he had just asked me who I wanted to listen to and I said Regina Spektor so I put her on. He said he liked this song and I caught him listening to it once on his own when I wasn't even supposed to be around to hear it. It's just nice because normally people don't like the music I like and it was the first song that we both mutually agreed was good.
song: jealous - labrinth; i know this song talks about a guy and girl breaking up, but for me it reminds me of me and my best friend. we were always there for each other and we'd help each other get through all the shït the world throws at us... until he decided to end his life and leave me alone in this world...
