I’ll start: KXNG Crooked - Order 66 (Musar)
If you’re into lyrics, syllables, cadences, and wordplay, this song is for you.
Two:
The Specials - Message to you Rudy
Symarip - Skinhead Girl
ska opens the soul
Appetite by Prefab Sprout
100 gecs - “mememe”
The Rip - Portishead
This song gives me chills
Herald of Darkness by the Old Gods of Asgard. It’s an incredible piece from Alan Wake 2 and the band behind the song is an in universe version of the Poets of the Fall, a fantastic Finnish band.
Superhero, by Kormac. It’s a little out there, nothing I could actually describe as lyrics, but it makes me dance a little in my seat.
Famous Blue Raincoat. I’ve been listening to a lot of versions and covers over the last couple weeks. Cohen’s is the best, but I’ll give shoutouts to the Jonathan Coulton and Joan Baez covers.
I wish I knew what got me started, but I can’t get it out of my head lately.
Lovin’ Spoonful - Daydream
