It's summer, or at least close to it, so here are some summery songs maybe someone will enjoy! ^^ The insert song from the Shaun the Sheep movie, " Feels Like Summer." It's sort of like a Beach Boys song you've never heard. (The video is sort of a promotion for the movie, so it has video clips and occasional sound clips from it, but I don't think it's enough to ruin the song.) The Garfield and Friends TV show was a staple of my childhood. xP I've been thinking about this song a lot recently--It's the seven-minute musical episode " The Picnic Panic." Beware on account of it being very catchy. XD

Oh hello, here's my new cheer-up get-pumped song.When there's a boy band with many members, they often get split into various subgroups and units. This unit is the jolly dorks unit. Pick your video. Video - contains flashy lights. Choreography video - dance, more fun, extra cheer, no flashy lights. Audio only - but no dance, and you need the dance!

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It's absolutely beautiful - I especially love the soaring sound of the shakuhachi flute. Once in a Lifetime - Gregorian

Been meaning to share this one for a while! I hesitant to call it my absolute favorite of Fun., just because there's a lot of theirs that I like, but this is at least easily one of my top songs from them, and I didn't even discover it until this year. It's definitely on brand for them, singing about morbid or somber topics to more upbeat tunes, which is a style I've always enjoyed for some reason. I can't quite explain it, but it's just a fun irony that I feel just gives an extra layer to their songs and what they're talking about. And the beat and sound of this song is also just really really fun and varied. Partway through it completely switches up, plus I'm a sucker for that deliberate auto tune sound they sometimes do, so I could listen to this over and over x3 Stars by Fun.I also recently discovered and started listening to an artist named Sufjan Stevens, and he may already be well known, not sure x3 I'm not good keeping up with that kind of stuff. But he's got an interesting sound as well, kind of in the same vein of putting serious topics to lighter sounds. His music is a bit more airy and ambiguous, though, while Fun.'s can be much heavier. Here are a couple songs that I've found myself listening on repeat: Should Have Known Better Super light tune and melody to some odd lyrics. "No reason to live" according to this song x3 Fourth of July This one's music does not cover up its serious topic, on the other hand. Slower sound, kind of hypnotizing, very heavily about death. It's not a light listen, at the very least.

Wanted to share this awesome official remix of Madonna's Hollywood, from the (in)famous concert she had back in 2003 featuring Britney Spears and Christina Aguillera. Funny story, I didn't remember I watched the concert until a certain night with my neighbor (that may have ended up badly and I have yet to officially apologize to), when she brought up the video of that while trying to show us music, and then I remembered watching it on live TV when I was my baby sister's age. Also, that synth + guitar combo is killing it.

Red Velvet has a lot of excellent music and it is high time I showed you some!
By now they have a sort of musical universe that's like an amusement park made of retro.

I am in the mood to make! A few little song recs! (This is a very good thread that doesn't see enough love.) Make Them Gold by Chvrches is upbeat and positive! About sticking together and using your strengths. =D Maybe Tomorrow is another upbeat and optimistic tune. I mean, the chorus line is "all of your sorrow, maybe tomorrow, will fade away in the air." It's just really nice! I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme) is one of the best songs on a Disney soundtrack, ever, from one of the most criminally underrated Disney movies ever. Of all time. (I think it helps to understand that the song is largely directed at the teenage protagonist's absent father. It's also about finding yourself! And it's just a great song in general.)

Okay, History Maker by Dean Fujioka is actually the opening theme of the anime Yuuri on Ice, and is entirely in English. This is one of my favorite opening themes from any anime and I dunno about others, but it really lifts me up. A prominent pianist who covers a lot of anime songs and music also released a piano cover of this song if you are interested. This is a super major throwback but one of the BGMs I used to listen to when I was a teenager/college student especially while writing fight/action scenes (I'll bet this was one of those pieces I listened to on loop for my old actiony NT stuff) was a song of storm and fire composed by Yuki Kajiura for the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle anime. The lyrics are a mashup of various languages but when put together, it sounds made-up. It's a thing Kajiura does in a lot of her work and the results are usually very beautiful. Still moves me more than a decade later. Fudge. Finally, last year ABC did a stage show called The Little Mermaid Live! which followed the original Disney animated movie but with other singers performing the songs live, stage effects, and puppets. I'm not sure how else to explain it except to simply link the song that, for me, is the best of the ensemble - and that is Queen Latifah's rendition of Poor Unfortunate Souls. Some lyrics were tweaked but otherwise it is the same song. Side note: Auli'i Cravalho (whom many know as Moana) was Ariel for this show.
