Buenos días!
It’s love season. We’re accepting all forms of love as long as it is reciprocated. Key thing is that you are only accepting the same level of love you give out. If they ain’t matching your energy walk away babes. 2024 no more crusty ppl that don’t give you the love you deserve. I know it’s hard because it’s hard for me too. Keep this in mind though — to be loved is to be considered.
AND if you feel like you have sooooooooo much love to give that you’re bursting at the seams with it … give it to yourself because the love will never go to waste there. You can also give it to the homies.
This week’s playlist. As you can see the theme is love. This playlist is rlly long, but I love love. I am a Mexican man, all I know is love. I also love love songs and rom-coms. This playlist coulda been longer (believe me). Anyway, enjoy!
Mood Ring by Dehd — This is my favorite band. They are my top 2 most listened to artists with 14, 352 minutes streamed. crazzyy. Idk how to describe their music style exactly, I guess post punk, surf rock, and garage rock. I’ve met them before and they’re rlly nice and their music is great. Anyway, last week they announced their 5th studio album so I am super stoked. This is the first single they dropped. They also put out one of their silly little music videos. Favorite part of the song is: I-I-I-I can't believe that he's with me // He's everything I need, my sexy little angel
Give You My Lovin by Mazzy Star — I don’t think I gotta say much about this song. It's an amazingly beautiful song.
Gimmie All Your Love by Alabama Shakes —I am sure I have featured this song in another weekly music playlist. I am also sure I am repeating myself when I say that this song is full of passion and soul. All thanks to the electric guitar and Brittany Howard’s vocals. Who btw just put out an amazing solo album.
Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey — I love this song. This song to me is like a kid with a candy bag where I can’t just listen to this song once. I gotta hear it more times until it’s out of my system. Also, the rom-com Always Be My Maybe (2019) is one of my favorites.
Si Nos Dejan by José Alfredo Jiménez — I don’t know who I am marrying but, 1) I am gonna have a wedding and 2) this song is gonna be played at said wedding.
Otherside by Perfume Genius — Y’know when you’re in love and that person just gives you peace? That’s what this song is to me. Another good album by Perfume Genius is Set My Heart On Fire Immediately. It’s one of those albums that I can listen to back to back. I think most of his songs deal with being in mlm relationships.
Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros — Oh yeah, this is definitely what love sounds like.
Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells — This song? Top tier. Around 2:30 the tremolo effect with vocals like c’monnnnn. Joan Jett also does a cover, but it’s more rock. The Shacks also have a cover of this song and Shannon Wise’s vocals are great.
You’re All I Need to Get By by Aretha Franklin — I love Aretha’s version.
Si Me Faltaras Tu by Thee Lakesiders — This whole song is very beautiful, but this part: Sueño con tus caricias // Que me brindan tu amor // Que cosa tan divina // Es abrazarte con ansiedad // Que cosa tan divina // Es abrazarte con ansiedad
To Love by Suki Waterhouse —"Is there a universe where our paths never crossed?” Recently watched Past Lives. Ya’ my ass was sobbing at 3am.
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack — I don’t know how to explain how this song makes me feel
Algo Contigo by Rita Payés & Elisabeth Roma —Would you rather be the one to be desired or be the one to desire?
Just Like Heaven by The Cure — This has got to be one of the ultimate love songs and definitely one of my favorites.
Eres Tu by Carla Morrison — Carla Morrison live is such a beautiful experience. You wanna feel that deep deep love, this is that song.
The Best by Tina Turner — I have a playlist of just this song sung by different artists.
Bury Me by duendita — Last time I was in love was 5 years ago. crazzzyyyyyyyyyyy.
