my dad was fighting cancer when I heard this song, he was on chemotheraphy, which f***ed him up, the morphine and cannabis oil made him high AF too.

the d**** didn't work for him, just like this song talks about

for some weird reason this song reminds me of the stories my pops would tell me about how f***ed up and abusive and violent his childhood was, and the way it scarred him for life--how he had to cope with a lot of his struggles through god and the church and how now i see him as kind of lost because since he doesnt believe in the church anymore he fills a lot of the void in those beliefs with whacked-out conspiracy theories and the end of days

so listening to this kinda makes me cry thinking of how existentially compromised he is

RIP Joaquin Oliver

kind of hard for me to put into words how this song makes me feel

it’s like a memento from when you were a kid that you completely forgot about after you moved out of your parents house to go to college & then you accidentally stumble upon it in the attic in a box full of junk as an adult 10 years later when you’re back at your parents house for thanksgiving or christmas or whatever and just the sight of it alone causes you to reminisce about your childhood & how simple life was back then and you just start to have an emotional breakdown.

I still find it hard to listen to this song in full

Sulli 💔

The second half of blonde will break u down especially after a bad breakup

This sad-ass Brother Ali song, usually

Breakups man

Damn bruh this sentiment really resonates with me. Keep your head up fam your dad is blessed to have such a caring child that considers him so much

Did your dad beat it though?

nah d**** didn't work he dead

Damn bruh!

🙏 bless up, sorry for your loss, hit me if you want to vent

thanks appreciate it

s*** hurts different bro this is the only song i ever cried to

Damn this is an interesting one. Someone else posted bad news which i also found interesting. Welcome to heartbreak, say you will and especially street lights are more tear jerkers to me. Paranoid is like angry spastic hate sounds to me. Why does it make you cry?

the sufjan stevens song S linked ... thinking about my mother and the fact that one day ill have to say good bye

Cried to this a few weeks ago

🙏🏾🤍

i got texts in my phone that’ll never ping again ...

Actually a good backstory behind this. It was junior year of high school and I had never had like a crush crush on someone but there was this girl I sat next to in calculus that I started getting really into even tho she had no interest in me whatsoever. I had made my mind up to ask her to winter ball and s*** but before I could make my move she got with my homegirl’s ex boyfriend And to make matters worse the same homegirl and her friend told me in a call that my crush would probably never be into me It sounds so lame now because it doesn’t matter but I spent that winter season listening to 808s and thinking about myself and my shortcomings which my high ego ass had never really done before then. So it was the combination of this thing not working out and me just feeling low about myself in general that made me super emotionally charged, and I remember listening to Paranoid some late night in like November/December and feeling the tears come down

Come to think of it I did cry to a couple Sampha/Jorja/Drake songs earlier this year when I went through a breakup but I still think the Paranoid story was the most significant one. Crazy looking back on that 5 years later and realizing how dumb I was but you live and learn.

Prom/king can make almost any one tear up. It's too short but a few lines on CALLIGRAPHY really get me. I listen to the song just for the start of the second verse
"I'm not mad at god, I just can't get out of bed
My best friend's obituary really hangs on the wall by the dresser"

And on that note OP, I want you to hit your high school friends up, The ones that you can think of that mean something to you.

Just say Hey, Ask them how they are or just tell em you were thinking of them. You never know when they'll pass and the only way you can speak to them is by screaming at the sky or commenting on their last IG post

i grew up w/ single parent so this hits different.
