Was discussing music with someone and it lead back to a band I used to be really into years ago, and now things have progressed into a full-blown musical nostalgia trip. Listening to all sorts of shit I used to love and gettin' all sad and stuff. This hasn't happened in a while.
Started off with
this cover, after being wowed by
the original (quite possibly the first time I've heard it!), then I moved on to another band I used to be into (my first "favourite band", actually) and listened to
a few of their songs before recommending them, and then I listened to several more as I walked to the shops, eventually moving onto another favourite band from the time and getting quite emotional over certain
songs of theirs*
as well.
Then, having had my fill of that after a few more songs, I moved on to yet another band I was heavily into in high school
and rediscovered them,
too.
...Then I continued on listening to other, slightly more recent-but-still-similar favourites of mine. Linking all those was a tonne of work already, so I can't be arsed doing any more. That's already a pretty good sampling of what late-primary school and high school Yoink was into right there.
Of course there are plenty of other songs that were worth including, but, well, I had to choose just a few to link, and that's the hardest part of sharing music half the time if you don't want to just dump a bunch of unmarked links in the hopes that someone will blindly click on them.
...Although, this one also kinda deserves a mention, since I'm listening to it right now. Really nice track, actually, even if it is perhaps one of the sappiest of the lot. Well, that took some effort. That last band, as much as I love them, is probably the kind of thing I'd be too embarrassed to admit to liking in meatspace, so I had to share them somewhere, y'know?
There were certainly other cringe-worthy, sappy, even borderline emo songs that I listened to back in the day, but un/fortunately I don't have digital copies of them anywhere so they were not included in this evening's nostalgia session.
* This upload is awful, but it's the only instance of the song I could find online, so oh well.
