If your life right now had a background song, what would it be?
Your brain actually links music with emotions and memories, which is why certain songs feel like specific phases of your life. So what song sounds like your life these days?
@listeningyouout29
Bruno Mars, for today only, Today, I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna stay in my bed 😁😁🩷
@Amanda84
Wow a classic!
But I’m trying to climb out of it and accept it.
What about you?
@ConstellationSystem
You're doing good! I think for me currently it's Leave my body by Florence + The Machine.
@listeningyouout29 appreciate that encouragement <3 Florence + the machine is so good, I share this so I can listen and others your song
@ConstellationSystem
I'm sorry but I can't access the link you've shared 😭
@listeningyouout29 oh that’s ok! It is a YouTube link of your chosen song !
@listeningyouout29 that song is so powerful
@ConstellationSystem
I knoww! 😭
I just realized you probably couldn’t see my video embed of our song either! It was Alesti — Paralyzed
@ConstellationSystem
I listened to this song! It reminds me of staring at the ceiling at 3 am, replaying everything and wanting to cry but feeling numb. Being stuck with no release. Always a fan of alt rock.
Sorry you’ve felt that way but I’m glad you liked it. Music means a lot. Sometimes it’s the only way to communicate or feel understood.
@ConstellationSystem
Please don't be sorry! It just felt nostalgic :>
Them emo kid days. Kinda miss the early 2000s even tho no I don’t lmao
@ConstellationSystem
Ikr! Who were your favorites from back then?
It’s hard to place the time with the bands if that makes sense, but our playlist is a funky mash of stuff lmao. I like most metal there isn’t a lot I don’t like
You?
@ConstellationSystem
That's pretty cool! I like a lot of pop punk and alt rock like FOB, All time low, and Creeper. I'm also getting interested listening to Enigma.
I like all of those though I can’t seem to recognize Enigma I think I haven’t heard them. Good taste in music you got :)
@ConstellationSystem
Hehe thank you! You should def try Enigma out!
We definitely will 🙂↕️
@listeningyouout29
oh I love this post!

@Heather225
Such beautiful words and lyrics!
Does anyone here have songs constantly playing in their heads 24/7??? My head is never silent, there’s always a song playing in the background. Sometimes I can control the volume, sometimes I can’t at all. At times I have a hard time having a conversation with people, I’m constantly having to ask them to repeat themselves. Any advice on how to get this under control? Or is it normal?
@HelpMeSmile26 I’m sorry I have no advice and I don’t have songs in my head constantly to that degree but I do experience intrusive thoughts and intrusions from various parts of my psyche that can make it hard to focus and register input. The solutions are likely different. But I just want you to know I see you and I hear you and I feel for you with that. That sounds really distressing and disruptive to your life.
It’s very intrusive, along with repetitive conversations that haven’t even happened yet, it’s exhausting!
@HelpMeSmile26 it definitely is exhausting, I hate thought loops they are the absolute worst.
I’ve been paralyzed in an anxiety driven thought loop since Wednesday morning. I haven’t been able to break it yet.
@HelpMeSmile26 I hope you can soon I know what it’s like to be stuck in something for days on end it’s hellish. 💔 I’m sorry.
@HelpMeSmile26
That sounds really exhausting :( I've had a similar experience (like overthinking or mental loops), but when its this constant and affecting your focus, it's worth paying attention to. This is not an advice but it has worked for me, maybe shift your focus to something physical (like a walk, cold water, notice other sounds around you). Something else that worked for me was also to really focus on the person's voice when they're talking and repeating their words in my head.
@listeningyouout29
It will be "Like my father" - Jax 😊
@June869
I love that song!
@listeningyouout29
As of now, it would be this:
Lyrics:
Wondering if I am lost now
But finding my way back home and
Wondering if love is with me
And guiding my destiny
Wondering if we are true friends
That distance cannot destroy and
Wondering if you are lonely
While waiting for my return
Come, be one with me
Let us follow the path of light
Mystery seeks to be understood
Someday we'll find truth
Wondering just who I might be
Who I was and will become and
Wondering if I can move on
Move into the world above
Come, be one with me
Let us follow the path of light
Mystery seeks to be understood
Someday we'll find truth
Wondering if I am lost now
But finding my way back home and
Wondering if love is with me
And guiding my destiny
Wondering just who I might be
Who I was and will become and
Wondering if I can move on
Move into the world above
@Alfbern
It has such deep lyrics. There is a lot of longing, but also a sense of trust in the journey.
@listeningyouout29 a home for flowers
@catlover67meow
Will give it a listen!
@listeningyouout29 The Metallica version of "Turn the Page".

@trueconfidant123
Pure chaotic confidence unapologetic 🤌
@listeningyouout29 i already do have background music ;> theres a church not far from me and every sunset they play a tune familiar to clair de lune or maybe it is clair de lune
@berrycheesecake90
That scenery sounds so surreal. If it's by Debussy, that dreamy piano must feel magical ✨
Yes it is 😊 sometimes i dont even notice it lol
