Find what's worth fighting for and fight for it.

Have you ever felt like you *had* to do something so urgently it felt like life and death? What is your will compared to a mountain, a god of fire and destruction, that's existed for thousands if not millions of years?

Follow the Flame, or Follow Your Death.

Sometimes the only person who can stop you from hurting is yourself. Sometimes you've gotta take a deep breath, and say goodbye like you mean it, even when you're afraid.

My favorite Talking Heads song changes from time to time, depending on my mood and if I get tired of one or another. But This Must Be the Place is almost always near the top.

It's nostalgic to hear this song, with all the bittersweet notes that implies. Take care to not get lost in the past.

Ever been head over heels for somebody?

Like, the kind of feeling where your breath catches in your throat when you try to speak to them. Where your legs feel weak when you're around them. When they touch you it's electric, and when you kiss it's a supernova.

Yeah. This song's about that.

Yes, I am a DEVOted follower.

A pioneering band that influenced most of music today. I have an ex whose favorite band was Devo, so I got some good exposure to them back then. I've always connected with punk and New Wave, so Devo just made sense.

They're more than just "Whip It", way more! :)

Incredible! You're amazingly talented and I am BLOWN AWAY by this! Thank you so much for recording this!!

They brought this song back into my active consciousness, so I decided to cover it.

I hope that it's a decent attempt and that everyone enjoys it.

The Postal Service was a tremendous influence on a ton of folks when this album came out. I think the "lovesick love song" is one of the motifs I will always seek out for the emotions it inspires in me.

Particularly resonant:

"Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures."

Dedicated to @leondemusica.bsky.social , this is a Mountain Goats cover that I ADORE. Atom actually did a few Goats covers on this album and I love them all as much as the originals.

I have a treat for you!

Oh, the Mountain Goats. Your incredible catalog has a song for anything.

If I ever feel numb or like I can't feel my feelings, this song is a paradoxical cure to that state. Unlike the speaker, I'm not an autoclave. :3

This one is a bop.

I love the original by New Order and have actually seen it live, but the Miku cover hits different. Astrophysics in general has some really good takes on eighties songs and I appreciate the fact I can just leave a playlist up with a dozen good Miku synth covers. :)

A song that lives in my brain for DAYS when I happen to hear it. I discovered Architecture in Helsinki twenty years ago and got to see them live exactly once before they went on hiatus.

I love the disco energy that this song gives. RIP AiH.

Now for something completely different!

I'd be surprised if many of you have heard of Atom. He made most of his music in the late 90s and early 00s, but made some really catchy music in his time.

This song is about buying a house with your friends and doing some DIY work on it.

I love the title.

It didn't work out, but I still enjoy the feelings this inspires in me. To me it means being very much in love with someone and just wanting to impress them or make sure they enjoy themselves, but because of your feelings for them you become an instant goober and trip over your own feet.

I listened to this song a lot before visiting a friend in another country. I had booked an Airbnb on the top floor of a nice apartment complex that had two bedrooms in the hopes that maybe they'd come with me and hang out for a couple days.

Now for a bit more of a personal story!

"There room at the top / Pretty cheap for the view / But the vertical drop / Made the skyline askew / I tripped on a step / Wasn't careful enough / Falling down the stairs of your love"

Do you have a current favorite? ❤️🎵

Porter Robinson holds a special place in my heart. His songs have a unique way of helping me feel difficult emotions. Plus they're bangers!

"How do you do music?
Well it's easy.
You just face your fears and become your heroes
I don't understand why you're freaking out"

The Beths have come to mean a whole lot to me since I discovered them in 2022, becoming of my favorite bands. I've even seen them twice in the past few years!

The first time I heard this song, I had tears running down my face.

"I wanna love 'til my heart stops."
