What song hits you hard whenever you listen to it? (lemmy.world)

For me it's "We won't be a alone" by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.

This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.

For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)

HAHA yes it surely is. Shadow with a watermelon helmet is one of my favorite Sonic memes.

Sonic is maybe for kids but it's my childhood so I do not care what people say about it. Anyway thanks for the comment 😁

/edit: My personal assessment: Too wild/disorganized for me :P
