Hey Happy Bookworms!
I just want to start by saying a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my grandma, I love you so much π€π
So I’ve been wanting to do this post for ages but I’ve kept putting it off because I’ve been so busy! But I think we all need a little music right now so I wanna share some of my favourite artists π
Just like last time I want this to be an ~experience~ so plug your headphones in, load up this post on the web & get ready to have some chill time – enjoy!
The Band CAMINO
My first introduction: Less than I do
The higher I climb, the further I fall when I do
Fool of myself
I guess I’ll take this loss on my wasted obsession with you
I thought that I’d finally found something worth seeing through
Now you only remind me of someone I thought that I knew
I love love LOVE the band CAMINO & it’s honestly a crime I haven’t listened to them more. They have a real mix of upbeat and slow songs but they’re all so gooodddd!
Favourite song: My thoughts on you (I’m listening to it right now π) but for a while is a very close 2nd because the beginning is everything
It’s ok, it’s alright, I don’t mind wasting time I’ll be fine
– for a while
Wear my heart on my sleeve make it harder to breathe for a while
It’s ok its alright I don’t mind wasting time ill be fine
Hide my heart, how I feel, pretend this is real for a while
Others I love: See through, I spend too much time in my room, haunted, who says we’re through, 2/14, hush hush, what I want, fool of myself
BΓRNS
I’ve only really listened to his Dopamine album but it’s so incredible – the music is so heady and I guarantee you’ll get obsessed! All the tunes are fun and bouncy (idk how do you describe music?) Very upbeat π
And all the lyrics are so beautifully whimsical β¨
I’ll take you way back, countless centuries
Past lives
Don’t you remember that you were meant to be
My Queen of Hearts, meant to be my love
My first introduction: seeing stars
Favourite song: God save our young blood (ft. Lana Del Rey) Go listen to this right now abjsgsydvfyiefygfehb
We carved our love in the mountainside
American money
We soaked our hearts in the rain
And I, waited my whole life, for you
Others I love: American money, 10,000 emerald pools, past lives, electric love, overnight sensation
The 1975
My first introduction: The sound
She said it’s nice to have your friends round
Heart out
We’re watching a television with no sound
Favourite song: I’ve loved them for so long so I think we have to split this up into 2 categories – my favourite song right now is if you’re too shy (let me know) but my all time favourite is robbers π
I think the 1975 might possibly be my favourite band ever, I love nearly everything they do. They are absolutely road trip vibes (it’s literally my favourite thing ever to put them on shuffle in the car especially when it’s night π) Their slow songs are I n c r e d i b l e
But under NO CIRCUMSTANCE listen to people, just don’t, your ears will thank me.
Kids don’t want rifles
I like America & America like me
They want Supreme
Others I love: *lists whole discography*
Ok I’m having to be really picky & I’ll split it up into slow songs & upbeat songs…. and then I still had too many so I added ‘middle’ π
Slow songs: fallingforyou, a change of heart, me, menswear (the instrumental introductionnnnn), be my mistake, Paris
Middle songs: chocolate, heart out, she way out, settle down, loving someone, sex, I like America & America likes me
Upbeat songs (in beat, not always in subject matter – it’s just depression in a disco dress): UGH!, she’s American, It’s not living (if it’s not with you), love it if we made it, girls, give yourself a try, the city, narcissist (ft. No Rome)
I really hope you enjoyed this – maybe found some new songs or artists to listen to.
If you’re on a music spree & want to see my first post where I recommend artists then it’s here!
Now more than ever we all need music < 3
Stay safe guys π
Beautiful original post! The lyrics ‘We carved our love in the mountainside’ I immediately linked to an event in the last few pages of the novel Death’s End. ‘The higher I climb, the further I fall when I do’ sounds like a great line π hope you and your family are doing well!

Yes itβs obviously a sign that you should check them out because I promise you theyβre awesome! Theyβre just realised a new album but as youβre a newbie Iβd steer clear of it for awhile until you get a feel for them! π

Hummm maybe fallingforyou (as a good first slow one) and maybe settle down (for a bit of a more upbeat one) but the sound (which is where I started!) is also a great one!π

Hope your grandma had a wonderful day! π I totally agree, we need music more than ever at the moment to pull us out of QD! I listen to a few of your samples and added a lot of the songs you recommended to my main playlist, Iβve also been really vibing with some Lofi tunes at the moment, they just really hep me calm down and are just super relaxing π Thank you for sharing all of these songs with us El! π
