If you could broadcast one song into everyone's mind, with them feeling the same emotions as you, what would it be?

You know the one.

Bananaphone

Killing in the name of

Wake Up - RATM

People need to get really fucking angry and start causing serious trouble for those that are burning our home and hurting our friends.

Welcome my son,

welcome, to the machine.

Where have you been?

It’s alright, we know where you’ve been.

Welcome to the Machine, Pink Floyd

Ænima by TOOL

I wanna see it all flushed away.

Happy Birthday, if I've gotta sit there quietly and feel awkward, so do all of you

NOFX - The Decline

Boston’s Peace of Mind

Same emotions?

On a good day by Above and Beyond.

I first heard it at a rave, rolling on ecstacy, going through pretty bad depression. It was during their "Group Therapy" set. I felt so connected to everyone around me. So peaceful. So understood. I cared and loved everyone around me and I felt the same in return. Sure, I was high. But it was a moment a decade ago that I can still remember vividly, and a point where I started taking my mental health seriously and started to deal with it and finally start to feel good about myself.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of people saying Rick Astly - Never Gonna Give You Up

The emotion: mild amusement

ZSK - Antifascista we always need more, proud, dangerous, commited antifascists.

For me, this song is an example of a bold, counter rightwing-populism narrative. We need more strong and proud narratives on the left, to tell people they can feel important, powerful, accepted and part of something important - on the morally correct side of history.

Enigma - Principles of Lust

No time for fighting when we’re all busy fucking to new age 90’s sex anthems

Achy Breaky Heart.

Megadeth, Symphony of Destruction

One Day - Matisyahu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRmBChQjZPs

Ren : Hi Ren

Hiromi Uehara - Deep into the night

...because I think everyone need to chill the fuck down.

If that doesn't work, I'll go with Dimmu Borgir - Kings of the Carnival Creation so everyone can fuck the chill up instead.

Sweet Carol Line 😏

Sit on my face by Monty Python

"Suicide Is Painless"

Insane Clown Posse - "Chris Benoit" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=574ULaCk4iE

Inspiration for the song came from wrestler Chris Benoit, who murdered his wife and son before committing suicide. Insane Clown Posse broadly alluded to the murders in the song's lyrics, but the focus of the song is not the murders themselves, but of suddenly losing one's sanity, and eclipsing in violence.[3] The song pertains to the album's overall concept, which "teaches us to respect the life we've been given and do our best to avoid an early death."

Pig by The Dave Matthews Band.

It’s about hope. And sometimes that’s all we have, so… don’t burn the day.

Mozart - Requiem

Japandroids - Near To The Wild Heart Of Life

This song aggressively reminds me of the mix of anxiety and excitement I had before moving out on my own for the first time. I came from a small town, and moved to the "big city" in my province. I had never moved anywhere before, let alone without my parents. That was 15 years ago now, but this takes me right back. It's also a banger (in my opinion).

1933 by Frank Turner.

The first time it was a tragedy,
The second time it's a farce.
Outside it's 1933,
So I am hitting the bars.

And I don't know what's going on anymore.
The world outside is burning with a brand new light,
But it isn't one that makes me feel warm.
Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn.

Parabol/Parabola by Tool. That song can bring me to tears.

The World Breathes With Me by Caligula's Horse

Smooth Sailing - Queens of the Stone Age

This song has such an incredible vibe. It was played a lot on tour after shows. In the truck, the hotel, the bar. Wherever.

Reminds me of the good days of making music and hanging out with some of my favorite people. I'd like the whole world to feel free, loved and valid all at once. Might just make a difference.

Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails

Same emotion?

The Dripping Tap by KGaTLW

"Hey Baby" by Deadmau5 while I'm super horny.

The Aglet song from Phineas and Ferb. Just to make everyone aware of the name of that plasticky end of your laces.

Peace Train

trust you

Toots - Spiritual Healing

Agoraphobia by Coletta

Any Vomir song

Bloodlip, by Matduke/Veela. I don't listen to the lyrics of songs all that much so for me the emotions are driven by the melody. Something about the chorus in this one sends shivers down my spine.

Six by 311

Feed the Machine by Poor Man's Poison

I take that back, Hydra by Fit For An Autopsy is more the vibe now.

Some of my current mood options would be:

• "Deep" by Courten (preferably the slowed version)
• "Masked ball" by Jocelyn Pool
• "Old doll" by Mad Father OST (the slowed piano version)
• "Fallen down" by Undertale OST (slowed version)

Pig by Dave Matthews Band.

It’s about hope. Sometimes it’s all we have.

Angel in the Jungle by Seeming

Body Language by Queen

God Thinks by Aurelio Voltaire

"God is a liberal, God is a democrat

God wants you to vote Republican

Never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of God

And says it's absolute truth

It's lies and it smells like death

It's all in a days work taking money from the poor

Why do you think that God

Would need your dirty money if you want to start a holy war?"

Tiny Little Robots by Cage the Elephant.

"I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
And you can join us on the other side"

Magenta Skycode - Kipling

A short electronic instrumental that really isn't all that complex or terribly interesting, but holds a true wealth of emotional context for me. It feels like the awkward first steps in a relationship until something clicks, and ends with a touch of melancholy to my ear.

Rise Against - People Live Here

Einheitsfrontlied, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhdcdZkiKRI&t=0

(Especially the 3rd verse, translated to english): "And just because he's a worker No class can free him but his own The emancipation of the working class Is the task of the worker alonе"

Nujabes: Luv Sic.

For me it'd be Better Than That by Sub-Radio.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qPIrWtlpCSA

Those that have spent a few years on Reddit might remember them doing live shows back when they were less known. As a band, they're basically just pure pop-punk joy, and I think people could use a little joy lately.

Just to absolutely annoy people, I'd probably go with a song I find very annoying and long. Probably something like Cannon in D, one I guarantee everybody has heard, even if they don't know the name.
