All I bought was the single, Outro, at one time and I canā€™t figure out why. Anyway hearing it again I love it still. If anyone knows if this was in a movie, show or commercial at some point please let me know.

I just got Elena Tonraā€™s (lead vocalist for Daughter) new solo album, Ex:Re.

Vocals are on point. If you like the sound of Daughter, you might like the sound of Ex:Re. The tracks themselves are dark and melancholy, and thereā€™s a discordant quality to many of them. I dig it, but Iā€™m a huge fan of Elena, so I might be biased. :slight_smile:

This! Got the Mail a few days ago and have been listening back and forth ever since. So far this is my favorite album of MBR. So great!

Finally a suggestion by YouTube that is not complete crap.

Heard this in a CarThrottle video. Had to fish the title out from the bottom of the comment section.
I love the music in this song.

Just got Lastlingā€™s Verses EP. Iā€™ve heard them as a featured artist on other bandsā€™ tracks, but never actually listened to their stuff.

I regret that decision. I like every track from them. Some are weaker than others, but theyā€™re all decent.

Linked an unofficial video because it has better audio quality. They benefit from decent quality.

Kishi Bashi - In Fantasia
What give me the chills and tear up my eyes are the last two verses. But listen to the song, donā€™t jump ahead and read.


Lyrics
Summary

In Fantasia, the mirrors lie to us, they plant a seed.
One by one we build an empire, where devils roam and breed.
Fading sunets, to forget them is the mark of death.
As we break in through the window,
Of mind and greed.

Darkened bridges sink away into the brackishness,
Swirling sin into a rainbow of atrophy.
When the winters help the golden autumns take itā€™s leave,
Spawning passages for vampires,
To suck and feed.

(2x) Kareru kareru
Subetega kareteruno
Fuyuno sabaku fuyuno sabaku ga hirogaru
Warerano yoruga kuru warerano yoruga hajimaru
Karehaga kareru warerano fuyuno sabaku.

(ENG: Withered and wilted,
Everything has perished.
The winter desert has spread
for our night has arrived
Our evening will begin
even the foliage has wilted
in our own winter desert.)

Waking insights born of jealousy and faithlessness,
Gave us strength among the gentiles of modernity.
In Fantasia, the spirits hide from us they cannot bleed,
Innocence is not a virtue in times of need.

Endless twilight, if only stars would show their faithful stare;
In this world of fading memories, weā€™d cease to be.

In Fantasia, the air is dense to me it hurts to scream.
At windless castles in the darkness, too faint to see.

Archive - Again
This song gets me crying every time I hear it. The development and the course this song runs through are incredible.
I like emotional songs, and this song delivers. For everyone whoā€™s ever been hopelessly in love, this is the song to relate to. I like to listen to it when I drive at night.
The lyrics and the music go so well togetherā€¦It is 16 justifiable minutes long.
Archive are the ones whoā€™s song Bullets you can hear in the original 2013 trailer for Cyberpunk 2077.

Summary

Youā€™re tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
You used to lift me up
Now you get me down

If I was to walk away
From you, my love
Could I laugh again?
If I walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?
Again, againā€¦

Youā€™re killing me again
Am I still in your head?
You used to light me up
Now you shove me down

If I was to walk away
From you, my love
Could I laugh again?
If I walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?

Iā€™m losing you again
Lacking me inside
I used to lift you up
Now I get you down

Without your love
Youā€™re tearing me apart
With you close by
Youā€™re crushing me inside
Without your love
Youā€™re tearing me apart
Without your love
Iā€™m doused in madness
I canā€™t lose the sadness
Canā€™t lose the sadness

Canā€™t lose the sadness

Youā€™re tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
Without your love
(You used to lift me up)
Youā€™re crushing me inside
(Now you get me down)
With you close by
Iā€™m doused in madness
Canā€™t lose the sadness

Itā€™s ripping me apart
Itā€™s tearing me apart
Itā€™s tearing me apart

I donā€™t know how

Itā€™s ripping me apart
Itā€™s tearing me apart
Itā€™s tearing me apart

I donā€™t know why
I donā€™t know why
I donā€™t know why
I donā€™t know why

Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love

Itā€™s tearing me apart

Peter Green - Iā€™ve Got A Mind To Give Up Living
I donā€™t even know what to say about this song. Just listen to the desperation coming out of that guitar. The lyrics are also heartaching.

Summary

Iā€™ve got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, Iā€™ve got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead

When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place In bed
And thatā€™s when I decided, that I would be better off dead

It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, thereā€™s no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because itā€™s all over now, and baby you can bet on that

London Grammar - Hell To The Liars
I am in love with this song because of the vocals of the lead singer and how she sings the lyrics and of course the whole vibe of the song.

Summary

Hell to the liars
Hereā€™s to you and me
Hell to the best of us
Hereā€™s to you and me

Hell to the righteous ones
Hereā€™s to them

The grey-suited walkers
Prestigious men

Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to those you find in love
Hell to the rest of us
Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to the things you love

Those who are born with love
Hereā€™s to you trying

And Iā€™m no better than those I judge
With all my suffering

Hell to the liars
Hereā€™s to you and me
I look way above us
Seeing no one free

Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to those you find in love
Hell to the rest of us
Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to the things you love

Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to those you find in love
Hell to the rest of us
Hereā€™s to the things you love
Hereā€™s to the things you love, uh uh

And finally,
Birdy - Take My Heart
I am so desperately sad when I hear this song. There used to be a gorgeous video on youtube of two animated dancers moving through the music, but I suspect itā€™s been removed from youtube. Anyway, I hope you like it.

Summary

Fallen so far
Said youā€™d watch over my heart
Your love was so real
Too late to forget how you made me feel

Tell me what I was supposed to believe
Held me so close I could hardly breathe
And now I canā€™t find how to let you go
You were mine but youā€™ve grown so cold

Say itā€™s all in my head
I remember when you said
Iā€™ll never let you go
Held me in the dark
Sheltered as you took my heart
I could never let you go, ooh
Say itā€™s all in my head
Remember when you said
Iā€™ll never let you go
Oh, hold me in the dark
Sheltered as you take my heart
Take my heart

Kiss me, pretend
Tell me all your love lies again
Cast your shadows
Like how you said youā€™d catch me but let me go

You said I could have been free if I wanted to
I know you could see I was lost in you
Said youā€™d let me be if I wanted you to
And I know youā€™ll leave but I donā€™t want you to

Say itā€™s all in my head
I remember when you said
Iā€™ll never let you go
Held me in the dark
Sheltered as you took my heart
I could never let you go, ooh
Say itā€™s all in my head
Remember when you said
Iā€™ll never let you go
Oh, hold me in the dark
Sheltered as you take my heart
Take my heart

So take my heart for your love
Iā€™ll let you break it, part every piece of me
So take my heart, itā€™s all thatā€™s left
Take my heart

Say itā€™s all in my head
I remember what you said
Hold me in the dark
Sheltered as you take my heart
Take my heart
