chat with @trandyspraxic about her list of emotionally devastating songs reminded me of *my* favourite type of song, namely: songs that make me feel like i’m praying. songs that feel like a prayer. truths pulled from the chest. you know.

so here is a thread of That Music:
many, many mountain goats songs make me feel this way tbf, but i shall limit myself to two. this one made me cry the first time i heard it and i felt it with my whole chest
and finally: the one, the only, the original. possibly the first song to make me feel this way. blew my tiny fourteen-year-old mind!

sing it from the heart/sing it till you’re nuts/sing it out for the ones that’ll hate your guts

i think it is probably the fact that my first music memories are primarily church memories; there is a lot about a church service that feels like a live concert (and vice versa) and while i’m not the hugest fan of most church music these days, it sure taught me how to mean a song
pls feel free to add your own songs in replies, i am always looking for More
