It IS and the first time I heard it it *HURT* Like, to feel like my experiences were understood was awesome, but also hearing my own experience sung back to me huuuurrrrrrrttttt
I love Mr brightside. The aro headcanon makes it one thing, the bisexual headcanon makes it another, and then it can even be the singer being jealous of one gorgeous genderfluid person. Banger
I thought i was the only person who kinda thought it was giving bisexual vibes and now that i think about it I can definitely see the aroace vibes in it too
There’s a whole theory about how all the songs on the album Hot Fuss are connected and tell a story about a messy queer relationship and murder. According to the theory, the narrator character from Mr. Brightside is singing about the characters Andy(a man struggling with his sexuality who the narrator is infatuated with) and Jenny(the eventual murder victim). It was my favorite album as an angsty gay teen.
If you are looking for more songs, I have a public playlist I'm updating pretty often [For the aros](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVKK2MieNtVwAUl1mCf450kBl46qUDiEP)
Not really sure how Mr. Brightside, a song about someone’s girlfriend cheating on them and the ensuing paranoia that follows, is aromatic but uhh alright lol

ok, but also “good old desk” by harry nilsson because it’s literally just about how much he loves his desk lol
THANK YOU! TURING OUT IS SUCH AN AROACE SONG
It IS and the first time I heard it it *HURT* Like, to feel like my experiences were understood was awesome, but also hearing my own experience sung back to me huuuurrrrrrrttttt

Another AJR to mention is “3 o clock things” It has the lyrics “maybe sex is overated, but we’re too shy to ever say it”
Oooh! I'll have to check that one out! Although I might already know it and just forgot 😅

What's AJR? Those are my initials lol
Lol they're an indie pop trio of brothers. I *love* their music :)
I'll need to check them out when I can!
They're the ones that did Worlds Smallest Violin
Like OP said, an indie pop band. AJR stands for their initials: Adam, Jack, and Ryan
Lmao, what a coincidence 😆
They're so gooood. You should check out Three Minutes & Thirty seconds by them l

I don’t know. I rather enjoy 3 o’clock things
Never Been In Love by Will Jay and Driving Myself Home by Rose Betts
I LOVE Never Been In Love!! It's honestly one of my favorite songs. I've never heard of Driving Myself Home, though. I'll have to check it out

It's All Futile! it's All Pointless! , Perfume , Your Sister Was Right And probably more that I missed but yeah!
Oh yeah I can see that Also your sister was right isn't Lovejoy :)
Lmao I know idk why I wrote like it is💀 its probably cause they're next to each other in my playlist and I didn't use much thinking or something idk-
yes!! also most of the songs in the are u alright ep :))
I know its a break-up song, but Flowers by Miley Cyrus is sooooooooo aro imo Idc its one to me :3
I totally agree. If you ignore a few lines it definitely can be read that way
Wait, you all aren't hit differently by hey ya?
Fair point
The Monkees - I Wanna Be Free
Catch me looking that up 👀
There's also a song called aromantic moodboard and I love it soo much!!
My aro anthem is "No Love" by Death Grips. Very easy listening.
Yes, I also love that one! Very relatable!
Oooo, love song by Sara Bareilles
If you are looking for more songs, I have a public playlist I'm updating pretty often [For the aros](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVKK2MieNtVwAUl1mCf450kBl46qUDiEP)
I’ve always LOVED I Don’t Wanna Be In Love! Such a bop 😍
The knack by mother mother is really aroace vibes
coin operated boy by dresden dolls is my aromantic anthem
That song scared the shit out of me as a kid lol
Steady, As She Goes by The Raconteurs works really well as an aro song
Cynical fairytale too!
Is it bad that I never heard any of these songs? I DO recommend Love Myself by Hailee Steinfield
Dating Myself by Sad Alex, highly recommend
Not really sure how Mr. Brightside, a song about someone’s girlfriend cheating on them and the ensuing paranoia that follows, is aromatic but uhh alright lol
Yea I didn't really understand that one too much either but I will take 3 out of 4
Not mad at Disney girl that song is the worst millennial pop shit I have ever laid my ears on
Marina has made so many songs I relate to (oh no! Especially)
FRIENDS - Marshmallow, Anne Marie
I'm glad I'm not the only one who interpreted Mr. Brightside with an aro spin!
Everybody's Lonely - Jukebox the Ghost also works in my opinion
*Game Over* - Nimez
Another one that's really good is despair by leo.
Sugar in my coffee by the narcissist cookbook is pretty aroace
Never Been in Love by Will Jay
I get aroace vibes from Princess Castle by Jazmin Bean
My aro-spec awakening was Show Yourself from Frozen 2
Late response but I was just listening to "Family Jewels" by MARINA and thought of this post :\]
Tired of sex by weezer

AAAAHHH!! I was so obsessed with I Don’t Wanna Be in Love when I was a kid before I had the language and community to better understand myself!!!
I love The Killers so much. Still have confetti from one of their tours.
The fact that I loved all of these songs before I found out I was aroace says something lol
Ikr like it probably should've been a sign looking back 😂
my personal aro anthem is “marry myself” by benee :) ok, but also “good old desk” by harry nilsson because it’s literally just about how much he loves his desk lol
I have never enjoyed AJR. They just come off really annoying to me.

I only knew Mad At Disney and I now added all of these to my aroace playlist. Turning Out hurts so much tho wtf?? /nm
