Over the summer, I discovered a lot of new music that I like. Also, many of the artists that I’ve listened to for years put out new music. So, in the spirit of the new school year, I made a playlist of all the new music I’ve been listening to. I hope you enjoy!
1. “Baby Shoes” – Bad Books
Favorite lyrics:
‘Cause she is mean, mean and harmed
She once belonged to us, but now to the dark
She once belonged to us, now belongs to the dark
2. “Blue Bloods” – Death Cab for Cutie
Favorite lyrics:
I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would’ve been
When you caught my gaze‚ I turned away
Planned an exit like a grand escape
3. “Boy Bye” – BROCKHAMPTON
Favorite lyrics:
Always feel left in the dark
Trauma the price for the patience
Character shaped like a arc
4. “One Down” – Slaughter Beach, Dog
Favorite lyrics:
I win the war
I feed the poor
I get anxious
And I curl up on the floor
5. “Black Friday” – Frog
Favorite lyrics:
Do you wanna get a drink with me
In this country we go tat for tat, wasted bumming a cigarette
Do you wanna sit and sing to me
6. “Tiny Love” – MIKA
Favorite lyrics:
My life was dull
I use to walk in a different way
But now I’m dancin’, dancin’, dancin’, dancin’
Don’t care who can see me dancin’
7. “Flagpole Sitta” – Harvey Danger
Favorite lyrics:
I wanna publish ‘zines
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
It doesn’t hurt, it feels fine
There is quite a wide range of music in this playlist, but it is definitely worthy of a listen. I hope the songs help you discover new music that you like too. Have a great start to the semester!
