@jake4480@c.imI have one for the #TuneTuesday theme of #MisheardLyrics. At around 1:30 in Skeletonwitch's 'Longing for Domination', it sounds like he says 'let me be your parking savior'. No idea what Chance is really saying there. But it cracks me up every time 😂

“Never imagined, like an assassin / Yeah, one look took me down”
I became really aware of Canadian electronic music duo Sultan Shepard a few years ago and I instantly loved their 2021 song “Assassin” when I heard it. While it is technically EDM, the song’s vibe is a lot more chill and uplifting especially with the quiet breakdown in the middle.

For #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 I will feature songs by queer artists. First up is Adam Lambert’s cover of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World”. I like the original, but Adam’s haunting and ethereal vocals really elevates his version to something deserving its own accolade.

“The rain, it ain’t permanent / And soon we’ll be dancin’ in the sun”
“Better Days” was written by Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy during the pandemic, and it’s a fantastic listen if you want something optimistic and inspiring, especially with ethereal backing choir singing in Irish.

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are extraordinary musicians and their song “When the Party’s Over” is one of my favorite of theirs. The song sounds simple, but the multi-layered vocals and understated accompaniment serves to bring out the piece’s deep emotional story.

Lewis Capaldi uses his great voice to put out a bunch of hits and I like that he doesn’t let stardom get into his head and takes his mental and physical health seriously. Among his songs I’ve heard, “Forget Me” is easily my most favorite with his raspy vocals adding angst into the chorus.

Released last year, the song “Guess She’s Cool” by British band Only The Poets is one of those underrated upbeat yet lyrically melancholic pop songs that deserves more views.

Phil Collins, whether solo or with his band Genesis, has produced a lot really good songs. (His work on Tarzan was excellent!) But what I really like about his song “Take Me Home” is that it doesn’t sound like it’s from the 1980s especially with its breathy vocals in the chorus (with Sting and Peter Gabriel singing backup!).

The Netherlands’ 🇳🇱 entry for #Eurovision 2023 was “Burning Daylight” by Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper. Maybe it’s because it’s not the usual kitschy Eurovision song why I like it a lot (and why it wasn’t in the final), but it actually reminds me of “Arcade” by Duncan Laurenc…
@Kingu@sakurajima.moe @smurthys@hachyderm.ioNew to me: Nina Burmi thumri vocal. That voice and range, and the accompaniments. 🤯 🎶
Also, the stage, outfit, and posture will all transport you back to the courts of Mughal, Ottaman, and Persian emperors. 😍
