I gasped when I got this! My first ask!! Hi!! I love you!
I'm so sorry this took so long to respond to, but I have absolutely overthought which songs I wanted to share that have been on repeat for me lately.
This song got me through some tough times recently. It captures that feeling of panic, isolation, rejection, and resentment of someone you love hurting you and reminds you to take back that power and be the person you need at that moment rather than relying on someone else to do that for you.
This song hits home for me being queer and from the deep south. Especially with some recent drama between myself and my family this past week. I love Parker's voice and the vulnerability he portrays in his songs and the vividness of his lyrics just paints such beautiful pictures and this song makes me cry every time. I get halfway through singing along before I start sobbing.
This kinda ties in with the first two songs' theme-wise about taking back power and finding freedom in doing the right thing even if it's hard to do or might result in your downfall. His voice is so emotional and powerful and you can feel his relief in the chorus over his choices in the song that makes a normally dark song light and happy and hopeful.
I wouldn't be a good gay if I didn't include the woman who got away from me because she was older and happened to get married when I was in college but whatever. This song is just so powerful as a long song and one of empowerment that I feel like a lot of straight singers just don't quite get in their music and this is a song I can see myself maybe have at my own wedding someday.
The one song on the list that's a different genre but god Chris Cornell has a spot in my heart that will forever ache with his loss. His voice always cut through me in ways that most other singers just don't with how it captures emotion in the different octaves he's able to sing at. Just such extraordinary talent gone too soon and I listen to this song at least once a week and have since he died 5 years ago.
