i’ve been loving you too long - otis redding

there is no greater sensation on this earth than listening to this song

makes me want to sob and fuck and bleed until there’s nothing left but ashes and shuddering

as is bill

it would be impossible to listen to this record too many times

i don’t have a favorite musician per se but ezra is permanently shortlisted

fire in these lungs - casey chisholm

as long as i’m posting earnest songs that really do it for me…

nothing compares 2u - sinead o’connor

(half speed)

okay yes this is more than a little silly but i promise this whole record sounds best right around 2/3 speed

somewhere over the rainbow - judy garland

oh god who can even say // anecdotally at least, all the cracks and sighs and sobs were part of how she always performed the number live - i think that’s pretty great!

somewhere over the rainbow, reprise - judy garland

so emotional! but is it better than when she sings it in her easter parade tramp drag? let’s find out

what am i gonna do with you - lesley gore

can’t find my favorite recording of this in a streamable format but it doesn’t matter, this song kills me every time

revisiting a beloved old comic out of nostalgia only to discover that it has recently come off hiatus is probably the best feeling the internet can give you // depending on laziness i might slowly start posting other old (and new) favorites, but this is perfect stars by romantic and newbs and it is just the greatest and go read it all if you haven’t
