For me it’s “We won’t be a alone” by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.
This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.
Edit: grammar mistake corrections
Self Destruct - kublai khan tx
yukikosan - midori (NSFW ALBUM COVER)
All songs that hit hard for different reasons… for me
“Hits hard” may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?
- Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Live at Brighton Great Escape 2010)
- The Cranberries - Zombie
- Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen
- The intro soundbit on Infinity Train
- The episode intros of Jobless Reincarnation (“Mushoku Tensei”) (song with video mix) - always with episode relevant content, showing the world, incredible world-building, with its amazing harmonic conclusion)

Creating the list made me wonder what more I could list so I took a peek into my music collection. Maybe Neil Young, which reminds me of my deceased mother (I didn’t include it here). Or other genres that would fit too, given that I do listen to a lot of or more of other genres. I found more highlights:
- The This Will Destroy You songs I Believe in Your Victory, The World Is Our ___, Threads
- Hula Hooper - Reach
- Sylvan Esso - Die Young (Echo Mountain Sessions)
- Sylvan Esso - Coffee (NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert) (the first song)
- Juli - Dieses Leben
- Samy Deluxe - One Take Wonder 2 Meisterplan
- Banyan Tree - Feel The Sun Rise (until 2:09; transitions great into next song; a sunrise into wakeup beat; I have only the first on a mix CD in my car, and I always intuitively expect the followup but something different follows 😄)

Ever since I have my own children Zombie by The Cranberries hits twice as hard.
Kill 'em All era Metallica, or the MTV acoustic Alice in Chains.
Best ever chill metal song: Orion.
I love Layne’s voice! AIC was one of my favorite bands.
I used to do Renaissance Faires.
“Wild Mountain Thyme” was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.
It hits me like a truck every time.
Rum & bass by boom kitty
Not quite the same vibe as the rest here but this song makes me feel like I could walk through a cement wall and fist fight an army
Great on a rowing machine at the gym if you really want to set a PR
Witch by TotalDeadCenter hits similarly
Zombie still hits me like a ton of bricks.
Whenever I hear Baby Shark, I get very emotional.
😭😭😭🥹🥹
The Sun, The Moon, The Star - Æther Realm
A ~20 minute metal masterpiece telling the story of someone leaving home in search of purpose and only upon leaving realizes the beauty of what he had before.
Melodically beautiful and I cry every time I hear it!
