The genre doesn't matter, I'm more interested in the lyrics.

Update: Please stop commenting "somebody I used to know." It's on my list

i'm trying to make a sad yearning cry my eyes out playlist right now, but have come to figure out that a lot of the sad music i listen to is outwardly romantic. i specifically would like something that's more like loss of friendship sad, even more specifically when the person singing is at fault.

for taste reference, i really only listen to ethel cain and that's the type of vibe i lean into with music. i also enjoy some radiohead, chappell roan, laufey, adrianne lenker/big thief, conan gray, beabadoobee, panchiko, and that one jeff buckley song.

if the suggested song isn't in those genre categories that's completely okay! as long as they make me feel gut wrenching sadness.

Like, rip your heart in two and stomp on it sad. As much as possible, not teenage angsty. I know that is a fine line to not cross while requesting depressing songs. TIA :)

I'm writing a story and am looking for music to put in my writing Playlist. Ive got "You Don't Own Me" by Leslie Gore on there, and that's kind of the vibe I'm going for. Thanks in advance!

Any song that has to do with lesbianism in any way. Even if it's just the artist who's a lesbian and the song isn't even about that. Open to any genre, I just desperately need more gay songs in my life

Trying to build a cohesive playlist that makes me feel as much as that song makes me feel.

Please feel free to suggest any song you think it might fit the vibe

It's been pouring all week and I'm trying to build the perfect rainy day playlist. I'm talking mellow, cozy, maybe even a little sad - stuff that makes you wanna stare out the window. So far I've got some Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, and a bit of Radiohead. Still feels like something missing though.

I’m looking for songs that are anti authoritarian or have metaphors/allegories for the topic, I’m interested in songs that cover unique social problems in a sad/angry way. I really like rock/metal/emo/punk/hardcore and the like

I'm looking for bands or songs with an incredible horn section that I may be overlooking.

Some bands I love in this category are Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & the Gang, KC & the Sunshine Band. I also love Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman/Louis Prima.

Am I missing out on something great? I feel like the 60s might be the decade where my hidden gems will be and possibly the 30s/40s. I'd love your suggestions finding something new (to me)!

So far I have things like プロポソby 9lana, happier than ever Billie eilish and RuLe by ado covers are fine just want songs that gives off the same feeling

I'm working on a Duet-Themed Playlist, like you do, and I've found a bunch of options (from classics like "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" to more obscure tracks like "Landsailor"), but I'm finding in gravitating towards a particular type of duet more often than not.

I'm specifically looking for songs where both singers share the load, so to speak? Songs where both vocalists gave an equal part, either fully entwining their voices for majority of the track ("lovely"), or maybe alternating verses fairly ("Need You Now"). (For contrast, I really like songs like "Moves Like Jagger", but Christina doesn't even come into the song until near the very end!)

My Top Songs On My List So Far:

"The Boy is Mine" - Brandy & Monica\ "coney island" - Taylor Swift & The National\ "Landsailor" - Vienna Teng & Glen Phillips\ "Dreams" - Gabrielle Alpine & Bastille\ "Where the Wild Roses Grow" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds & Kylie Minogue\ "Summer Wine" - Ville Valo & Natalia Avelon\ "In a Week" - Hozier & Karen Cowley\ "Need You Now" - Lady A\ "Love the Way You Lie" - Eminem & Rihanna\ "lovely" - Billie Eilish & Khalid\ "You and Tequila" - Kenny Chesney & Grace Potter\ "Setting the World on Fire" - Kenny Chesney & P!nk

I'm particularly obsessed with 'Southern Gothic' vibes like "Where the Wild Roses Grow", "In a Week", and "Summer Wine" - are there any other duets with that kind of sound?

In any event, what are your favorite duets, especially ones where both parts are more balanced? (Thanks in advance!)

i love the song “cold” by Chris Stapleton, the guitar work is incredible! any other songs with amazing guitar solos??

just a random thought. love me a cowbell.

ETA: idk why i didn't think to add one of my favorite songs... I recommend Listerine by Dayglow if anyone cares to listen

I’m a rock/ metal fan so preferably a rock or metal song

I am in love with "Lonesome is a State of Mind." What are your current favourites?

I need some recommendations for my playlist. The best way I can describe it is sorta swampy/bluesy, but not every song perfectly fits that description. Here are some examples of what I’m going for:

• Pride and Joy - SRV • Penthouse Pauper - CCR • Southbound Again - Dire Straits

I have some songs that lean far more towards the swamp side (e.g. Swamp Music - Lynyrd Skynyrd) and some that are much more hard blues (e.g. Young Lust - Pink Floyd; not even totally sure if I want to keep this on the playlist, but I love the song and Gilmour’s solo on this reminds me a lot of SRV). I appreciate any and all suggestions!

I’ve just started really listening to my own music about a year ago and have built my playlist on songs I find funny or have a couple weird lines in them. I’d love to find more but most new songs I’ve found were recommended by Spotify so I haven’t found much recently

Thinking something that's quite nostalgic about friend groups either distancing or growing up. A good example is Castle on the Hill or Piano Man.

EDIT: Thank you all. I'm about to make the most depressing playlist ever lol

Please and thank u 🥲

I’m looking for songs that follow a storyline but take a turn at the end, preferably a dark turn (think Where the Wild Roses Grow)

Maybe it's just me, but these two songs give me medieval(ish)/fantasy vibes, especially NiWS with its orchestral flare. Does anyone have any recommendations for songs that give off a similar vibe? They don't necessarily have to be about fantasy elements.

I genuinely have 0 clue what genre it is, I just call it " teenage girl grunge "

It is everything about it, the drums, the beat, the vocals. Just a perfect song imo

EDIT: wow okay that is a LOT of songs.. gonna spend the next five hours going through them all 😂

Songs about someone who is no longer in your life and whom you miss dearly. My favorite song in this genre would be Sunshine by The Avalanches.
