I get the most creative with slightly depressing lyrics or something you can really feel. Current playlist everything from Johnny Cash - Hurt, Blue October - Hate Me, Joni Mitchell - Both Sides, Slipknot - Snuff, Disturbed - Sound of Silence, and a bunch of Stained. Whatcha got Reddit?

I've noticed recently that I really love songs with fairly catchy female backup vocalists involved, such as River City Extension- Ballad of Oregon 3:30 and Jackrabbit- San Fermin 1:20 . Does anyone know any bands similar to this?

I havent listened to piano a lot and I want to explore this genre.

Hey! I've been wondering if anybody knows what are some good samples to add for my next lofi beat. I usually prefer conscious or emotional anime type samples, but really any good quotes or scenes from an old film are fine too. Thanks!

hi everyone,

first sorry for my english, i'm from hungary and not a native speaker, it might occur that i don't use the right expressions (see title). btw i'm not a big reddit user, but i always thought that the community is good, and i might be in the wrong subreddit, so please redirect me if needed

there was a time when i was always listening to music, and creating music as well. spending shitloads of time playing scales on my guitar i just kind of burnt out.

now i feel that there aren't really any kind of music that i like, the old rock songs just make me feel exhausted, and i don't find joy in almost any of my favourite bands - and i have a lot of favourite bands.

so i started to listen to pink floyd again, and there is something in those long, instrumental songs that made me anxious back then. now when i listen to them i feel some kind of sad, relaxing fulfillment. the songs are something that just exist, they are not about the personality of the musicians, they are not about whining about a girl, they are not intensive 3 minute tracks that you burn out of, and a lot of topics are just so abstract, just general things about life (i'm not talking about the wall of course - that's a really different thing)

so it made me curious if there are any other bands that play this kind of music. i'm not looking for the pink floyd feeling, just the general feeling that my mind is filled with something, and i don't have to watch movies or play games to keep my mind filled after a long day of programming.

so yeah i started to listen to relaxing music, but didn't find anything. they are just cliches trying to sound very spiritual, or very ancient chinese, or filled with a lot of bird-chirping, and when i listen to them, i feel detached in a bad way. i feel like i'm a patient in a psychiatry that listens to some sugarcoated "everything is alright" music, or they are just, simply, err, bad. so yeah i kind of feel listening to them as i would feel reading a bad self-help book

so, i think that you get the idea, any suggestions?

thank you

Here is a link, for anyone interested in hearing it.

Usually I rely on web radio to fill my music needs, but I'll be out of service in Canada so I need some new music. I prefer Electronic/Triphop/Ambient/Trance, I'm also a big fan of underground Hiphop. I also had a pretty strong upbringing in Folk.

Some favorite bands of mine: Mount Kimbie, Daft Punk, Purity Ring, Alt-J, Bonobo, Tycho, James Blake, Nas, etc...

I would love to hear your thoughts on some other bands I may like.

Can you recommend some punchy synth songs in the style of these samples?
