From the album The Queen Is Dead, in 1986.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people And they're young and alive Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one anymore Take me out tonight Because I want to see people And I want to see lights Driving in your car, oh, please don't drop me home Because it's not my home, it's their home And I'm welcome no more
[Chorus] And if a double-decker bus crashes into us To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Verse 2] Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care And in the darkened underpass I thought "Oh God, my chance has come at last" But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care Driving in your car I never, never want to go home Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum, oh, I haven't got one Oh, oh
[Chorus] And if a double-decker bus crashes into us To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-tonne truck kills the both of us To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Outro] Oh, there is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out There is a light and it never goes out

Bowie because his music literally saved my life
Love you forever
This song, released in 1992 was written by Eric Clapton after the death of his 4 year old son, in march 20th 1991.
This song is about imagining founding back his son in heaven...
[Verse 1] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I must be strong and carry on ‘Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven
[Verse 2] Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus] I'll find my way through night and day ‘Cause I know I just can't stay here in Heaven
[Bridge] Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please Begging please
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus] Beyond the door, there's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in Heaven
[Verse 3] Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Would you be the same if I saw you in Heaven?
[Chorus/Outro] I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1] When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But, darlin', when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same? Yeah
[Chorus] Nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain
[Verse 2] We've been through this such a long, long time Just tryna kill the pain, ooh yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walkin' away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head, just knowin' that you were mine, all mine
[Chorus] So, if you want to love me Then, darlin', don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain
[Refrain] Do you need some time on your own? Do you need some time all alone? Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Bridge] I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you, woah-woah
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain] Sometimes, I need some time on my own Sometimes, I need some time all alone Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3] And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ooh yeah I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame
[Chorus] So, never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro] (You're not the only one, you're not the only one) Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one, you're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody? Don't ya think that you need someone? Everybody needs somebody

Been rolling with this since I'm 12, wonder why I turned out like that...
My dumb self couldn't read them... like, since I opened that blog.
I'm sorry if you ever send me a rec or an advice or just anything in general, I haven't see it yet.
Will make a warning post when I'll put things back in place. You can still send stuffs, I will gladly read them when I could!
Will tag those kind of post as "personal texts"
Update : will rather use "walking h. texts"
Can't get this one out of my head
Free boost of confidence, on display for you to rock !
Lil Nas X did a cover of Jolene and Dolly Parton responded to it on twitter
Image descriptions under the cut
[ID: Screenshots of two tweets. The first one is by Dolly Parton and it says "I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it's really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX". The second tweet is Lil Nas X responding to the Dolly Parton tweet by simply saying "HOLY SHIT" in all caps. End of ID.]
I mainly share my favourite pre-2000s rock music, but I would also love recs from you ! (I'll try post regularly but do not expect much honestly)
