understood through music
All the reasons artists make their art, to connect with their audience. The most impactful songs to me in my humble opinion.
Living through self-hatred and yearning for someone to love you through it
Lola Young – Spiders
A classic. The world is so ugly and scary and weird and creepy and so am I, but you, you are so beautiful and I'm scared to love you because you are so beautiful and I am so scary and weird
Radiohead – Creep Lyrics
Literally just read along with the lyrics and I won't need to say much more.
The Cribs – Be Safe Lyrics
A call for people to realize they are living their realities in a “dream” or a life of unfulfilled potential, urging them to “wake up” and live their lives to the fullest.
Wake Up - song and lyrics by The String Cheese Incident
Maybe you're famous in heaven. Maybe there is no heaven. Maybe we're all alone together now so I dont want to see those tears again.
Astrovan - song and lyrics by Mt. Joy
Letting go of our past regrets to move forward with optimism rather than dwelling on past mistakes is so important to our wellbeing.
Oasis – Don't Look Back in Anger Lyrics
Now…hear me out! I know it is an oldie but listen to the lyrics like really listen. I guarantee you that you will hear this song much differently than you did when it was first trending. This song spoke to me shortly after my father's passing
Maroon 5 – Memories Lyrics
This song achieves the feeling of yearning to return home emotionally, to the person you call home, when life feels so overwhelming
The Meaning Behind “I Need My Girl” by The National
How did we go from wanting so badly to be an adult, to suddenly wishing we could be kids again? The longing for childhood comfort is seen in this song. The possibilities as a kid seemed endless yet so intimidating. Did that part change that much thou...
1979 - song and lyrics by The Smashing Pumpkins
This song attacks escape, rebellion and cursed love. The song itself feels intimate yet suffocating. Gasping for air almost.
Radiohead – Exit Music (For A Film) Lyrics
We are human. It is silly to think we aren't going to make mistakes. It can also feel incredibly daunting when our personal hurdles feel a bit higher than everyone else's. Embracing our mistakes and learning from the past is incredible crucial. This ...
Kings of Leon – The Immortals Lyrics
sun on your face. the right selection of alternative music
The Grateful Dead never fails to make me bounce.
The Grateful Dead – Althea Lyrics
SO CATCHY. Once you hear it once, it'll be in your head for a decade, I promise. But it is SO good.
Casey Jones - 2013 Remaster
I accidentally found this song once and I have no clue who Rayland Baxter is but because of this song, I hope both sides of his pillows are cold for eternity.
Rayland Baxter – Yellow Eyes Lyrics
Peach Pit is not a well-known band but after this board I truly hope they get the hype they deserve. Peach Pit's Give Up Baby Go is a great look into their music style and lyricism.
Peach Pit – Give Up Baby Go Lyrics
I feel like a warm ray of sunshine listening to this.
Peach Pit Lyrics
PEACH PITTT
Tommy's Party - song and lyrics by Peach Pit
Another Peach Pit must.
Peach Pit – Being so Normal Lyrics
Shifting gears to Mt. Joy. A more modern version of the Grateful Dead, and more well-known version of Peach Pit. She Wants To Go Dancing will have you dancing…
She Wants To Go Dancing - Single by Mt. Joy
Falling in love in the bar bathroom light? Uh yes puh-lease.
Mt. Joy – Bathroom Light Lyrics
Again, catchy, but it is a different style and will 100% catch you off guard but it is catchy.
The Meaning of Mt. Joy's "Strangers"
This song represents the idea that the sun and light are the “blood of the universe”, a connection to the deeper universe, embracing love and life as it comes.
Mt. Joy – Orange Blood Lyrics
Of Monsters and Men is another band that mainly produces alternative music. Dirty Paws is a peek into the kind of music they produce.
Dirty Paws - song and lyrics by Of Monsters and Men
Newer song! Full album has not been released yet so this song is a good peek into the album content.
Back to the Wind - song and lyrics by Whitney
The only “Put Your Records On” version ill listen to.
Put Your Records On - song and lyrics by Corinne Bailey Rae
An older song but literally hits that sun feeling.
September Song - JP Cooper
late night mellow
this song is about two lovers who are in intense love also accompanied by their feelings of being trapped in a small town and have lingering ex relations
Apocalypse - song and lyrics by Cigarettes After Sex
love can feel terrifying and difficult and can make one feel very vulnerable but love is so beautiful and an intense feeling
Bon Iver & St. Vincent – Rosyln Lyrics
breakups can intimidate one from finding love. thats understandable. the feeling of a void between one is sickening. this song explores that and explores the struggle to find emotional identity during such a sickening time
Space Song - song and lyrics by Beach House
the mixture of love, hardship, substance abuse can cause people to feel like they've been driven to a point and start to see toxicity in the relationship. the need to have a moment is okay. it is also okay if you love so hard and deeply but just need...
Hozier – To Be Alone Lyrics
The Kissing Booth 2&3 Vibes

The song that Elle and Marco danced to. This entire selection is based off the vibes in that scene.
WALK THE MOON – Lost in the Wild Lyrics
SO CATCHY. Goes hand in hand with the initial song;)
Disclosure – Latch Lyrics
Not much needs to be said about this one. Similar tech music sounds, and lyrics resonate with listeners similarly to prior songs
Charli xcx – party 4 u Lyrics
Disclosure has many songs that fit the TKB123 vibes….
Omen - song and lyrics by Disclosure, Sam Smith
LOVE MARY J's PART SOOOOO BAD.
F For You - song and lyrics by Disclosure
The Chainsmokers also share a similar vibe to Disclosure. These artists themselves could have been the soundtracks for TKB.
The Chainsmokers – Roses Lyrics
That one car scene where Elle is on her way to the “date” with Tuppen and is in the convertible and its night and all of the LA lights were lighting and she threw her head back into the wind with a song similar to this and I haven't been able to shak...
Charli xcx - Good Ones

not only is Frank Ocean a trending artist but he has been for a very long time. ivt by frank ocean talks about innocence and the inevitable cracks that innocence will slip through
Frank Ocean – Ivy Lyrics
Love and loneliness are two words that can be dreaded to be seen in the same sentence. With religion, people have an outlet, or journal, where they can mask these fears with prayer. this song explores that beautifully
Frank Ocean – Bad Religion Lyrics
the teenage years can be freeing, anxiety-filled, confusing, endless, and so much more. this song not only makes you feel that age again but it dives right into all of thoose tricky feelings
8TEEN - song and lyrics by Khalid
enduring love expressed through intimacy is exactly what this song covers. it can be intimidating as well
Daniel Caesar – Japanese Denim Lyrics
coping with pain to fill a void is something we do subconsciously. now what we do to cope is up to us. personally i enjoy humor and literature when i am trying to cope. hey! here's a piece of literature to express that feeling!
Solange – Cranes in the Sky Lyrics
