Yukine Matsuoka 1/22 near Tisse

Okay. Settle an argument for me because SOMEONE has messed up taste. Would you consider this to be a love song? Radiohead - Creep Just don't ask me why. ETA: what is your favourite love song?

that's the funniest answer anyone had to give with this

HAHA

but yea
it's a little much

[drydrown]

I aim to please...

Though really, is someone trying to argue that it's romantic in any way?

[secare]

yea actually
in like kind of a sad and tragic way

i dunno
i just can't agree with it

if we're going for sad love songs
aren't there like 89 better ones?

[drydrown]

Well, if you ever want to cure them of that notion, horribly dissonant cover versions will work wonders for you.

And it seems like a lot of love songs are sad, at least as far as I can tell? Some of them are overly twee and happy, I suppose, but a lot of them just sound like unrequited pining to me. I don't understand how that's supposed to be romantic...? Or pleasant to listen to, for that matter.

ok
listening to this
pretty sure i'm gonna end up chained in a basement
and trying to scratch out an sos on the wall with my broken fingernails
a m a z i n g

ok
so with that in mind
what is a song that you do like?

[drydrown]

Oh yes. Lotion, basket, imminent threat of hose, all of those lovely things.

I usually end up listening to instrumental versions of things, honestly - the sort of thing that can keep my mind occupied with something without having words to distract me from whatever it is I'm doing. Because the last thing I need to have is sudden confusing bursts of tangentially-related lyrics in the middle of reports I'm working on.

a charming song, a stranger breathing heavily from above,
and true fear burning in your heart

oh yea
i can get that

i like listening to game soundtracks and stuff
when i'm working because it's easy to get distracted
when stuff has lyrics

but i think i like lyrics any other time
