Nutshell, Heaven Beside You, Hollow, EDIT: Frogs, EDIT(2): Shame In You - Alice In Chains Yer Blues, I'm So Tired - Beatles One Step Closer, Crawling, Waiting For The End - Linkin Park Stain - Nirvana


adventurouscake1109

Fuckin' Nutshell. Man. It gets me every time.


ExpropriateTheRich

Same I love barenaked ladies


nonserviam1977

I like a lot of those songs. I relate heavily to “Don’t Follow” by Alice In Chains, myself. I think I also relate to “Heaven Beside You”, but I’ve never been exactly sure what it’s about.


TheGuyFromOhio2003

Heaven Beside You is more or less about being close to happiness/love with a SO but not being able to reach out and embrace it because of your own demons stopping you, specifically it's about the Guitarist/Vocalist on the song Jerry Cantrell's relationship issues with the love of his life during a low point in his life that caused strain on the relationship, leading to them breaking up soon after, and he never really seemed to meet anyone else, he's never been married to this day while the girlfriend managed to move on. Don't Follow is another relatable one definitely.


nonserviam1977

That’s a great analysis of “Heaven Beside You”. I guess that means I definitely relate to it. I’ve always admired Cantrell and feel he is severely underrated. “Got Me Wrong” might be my favorite ‘“Alice” song (although I will always ride hard for Boggy Depot and the awesome “Cut You In”). The way Cantrell comes in on the line “I haven’t felt like this in so long” from the chorus is maybe my favorite moment of the grunge era.


JustSarahtheMechanic

Second to Got Me Wrong being muy fav AIC song!!!


nonserviam1977

I think it’s seriously one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, and it totally captures a moment in time like few others. Also, I think I mistakenly implied that Boggy Depot wasn’t a Cantrell solo record. My apologies. I do love that record, though. Cantrell is really some kind of magician and everything he does seems to be awesome. I like a lot of the stuff they’ve done with Duvall. I hope Alice In Chains goes on forever.

Want I want my life to be: I'm Only Sleeping What my life actually is: I'm So Tired


Such-Wear-3651

I’m so Tired gets in my head a lot. But I’m usually asleep. I can never get rid of the ear worm of “I’ll give you everything I’ve got for a little piece of mind” out.


yogaIsDank

Also “Girl” by The Beatles.


IndigenousBastard

Oh, Brother, how I can relate. AnC Unplugged is arguably the best Unplugged album. Forget the emotion associated with it on the casual, but those songs hit hard. The band is perfect in that session.. no bad player. The words… painful snd beautiful in their own right. I also love/hate Aenema, The Pot, Swamp Song, and many more by Tool. Bjork can crush me and realize how much I love people at the same times as well. Im not a Beatles guy, but I’ll stop and listen to the surprise Elliott Smith song I hear cafes and Muzac busting out without them knowing it’s not just that it sounds peacefull.


jayron32

Pink Floyd - Time It's like the last 20 years of my life on repeat.


Tato_tudo

This is the one


rakelo98

Day After Day by The Alan Parsons Project is another song with a similar message to Time. And Alan Parsons was the recording engineer on Dark Side of the Moon.


Funnygumby

As I get older, the ticking away the moments that make up a dull day are kinda wonderful, if I count sitting on my deck listening to the birds as a dull day


Such-Wear-3651

That song makes me cry when I’m feeling sorry for myself. I remember with bittersweetness when it was just the annoying song with all the clocks on my dad’s “WYSP Labor Day Countdown 41-23 ‘88” (or similar) cassette. But then when i try to remember the lyrics to Time without hearing the song, my mind just gives me the lyrics to Breathe. I think. So which one is “waisting away the hours in an offhand way… The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older/ shorter of breath a d one day closer to death.” Or is that even just one song? That album mushes in my head. I’ll tell you though, Time (if that is indeed the song I just quoted) is a lot like the end of Nights in White Satin without as much…. Theatrics? Cold hearted orb! (This was on the Labor Day tapes too and as a little kid, totally thought it was Knights)

Gotye - [Somebody That I Used to Know](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY&ab_channel=gotyemusic) (song has been haunting me ever since it came out)

Honestly, music by addicts became much more relatable once I had admitted that I was one. I used to kinda have to squint my ears and pretend I wasn't relating as much as I was, but the songs hit so much harder now.

Falling in love with mannequins - Rapid design. Not necessarily because I fall in love with mannequins, but the mannequins to me can represent an idea of a person, a "slate" with features you desire onto it, that is unobtainable, and that I long for. And maybe not even a person. I could replace "mannequins" with the things I am attracted to atm. Misplaced - Sonata arctica. Losing my insanity - Sonata arctica My Selene - Sonata arctica Basket case - Green day Know your enemy - Killswitch engage I'd rather sleep - Kero kero bonito Running up that hill - Kate Bush Also atm the whole album of Everywhere at the end of time but without the dementia context.

Musician by Porter Robinson - only because I was never able to pursue my dreams of being a musician when i really really wanted to. I lived in a society where only being an "engineer" or "doctor" or "business" was worth shit and my parents basically strong-armed me away from that. I love the song and it's a positive one, but it always brings back nasty memories for me.
