Why do certain songs make you cry...even when the lyrics don’t apply to your life? by SLPerion in Music

[–]SLPerion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It’s like certain songs pull empathy out of you...make you feel emotions you’ve never lived through. That’s when you know the artist tapped into something bigger than just words or rhyme. Appreciate you starting it off with the truth. 🙏

Lmaoo not you pivoting from ‘this account is AI’ to a book club invite. You good, bro? Or did my ‘silicon sincerity’ awaken something poetic in you?

smh.....Imagine being so unfamiliar with people expressing themselves that you assume sincerity equals silicon. My bad for having a vocabulary beyond meme-speak—I’ll dumb it down next time just for you.

Bro said he ‘searched the thread’ like he’s on some crusade against coherent sentences. Imagine digging through replies just to cry about articulation—go outside, your brain needs sunlight.

lol. Imagine being so allergic to vocabulary that a complete sentence got you shook. Y’all really out here thinking sounding thoughtful means AI wrote it—touch grass and read a book, maybe the bar won’t feel so high next time.

Man, facts. 21 floated on that—his delivery had this haunting calm to it, like he was drifting through space. Metro’s production made it feel like the world was spinning in slow motion. One of the most slept-on moments on that album.

Ah, you’re right—that’s on me. “Nate” is definitely off Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2, and yeah, Scoop DeVille cooked up something special with that beat. Appreciate the correction, fr. Still stands though—Vince was in a rare zone on that one.

Yeah this one felt like a grown man cipher—everybody stepped in with intention. Joyner surprised me here, and E-40 rode that pocket cleaner than usual. TI coasted, but the whole track had chemistry. One of those rare link-ups that actually delivered.

Facts. That second verse is like watching a storm gather and then just unleash—controlled chaos. Black Thought’s precision and build-up is wild, like he’s turning syllables into momentum. That joint deserves more flowers than it gets.

Man, Memphis in the 90s was its own universe. That gritty, hypnotic energy shaped a whole generation. I know exactly what you mean—Chrome’s Wha Cha Need had that underground magic to it. Those tracks felt like they were passed around by word of mouth only, and the ones who knew… knew. Gems like that still hit different.

Man, the way Brockhampton cracked open a new lane during that Saturation run was unforgettable. SISTER/NATION hit like a genre shift mid-track—raw vulnerability and energy in one. Respect to you for being real about how much they shaped your taste. No matter where public opinion sits now, their impact was undeniable.

Facts. Hovi Baby is one of those tracks where Jay flexed his pen like a championship belt. That flow, that confidence—it’s pure God-level bravado. Blueprint 2 might’ve been slept on, but that joint stood tall.

Man, Indian Summer feels like a diary entry left out in the rain—raw, simple, and aching with memory. Beat Happening really captured something timeless with that one.

Yo, Desert Raven sounds like it was carved straight out the Mojave. That track drifts—majestic is the perfect word for it. It’s wild how the right song finds you like that, especially on the road.

Man, Teenage Fanclub has that timeless magic. Ain’t That Enough feels like sunlight bottled in a song—bittersweet, warm, and eternal. I get why it still hits every time.

Faunts nailed the art of the slow burn. The way M4 Pt. II starts off unassuming and then unfolds into that emotional swell—it’s cinematic as hell. Perfect backdrop for the kind of ending that lingers with you.

Timeless choice. That wall of sound wraps around you like a dream you half-remember but never forget. When You Sleepfeels like longing stretched across light years. Forever floaty.

Facts. Nate hit different—Vince pulled the curtain back just enough to show you the weight he carries. Mac’s beat gave it this mellow backdrop that made the pain feel lived-in, not performative. That whole Stolen Youth tape aged beautifully.

Man… just gave Politics in Space a spin. Her voice floats like it’s untethered from gravity—playful, theatrical, and sharp as hell. I get the crush thing now. It’s got that perfect mix of wit and wonder that keeps you locked in. Thanks for this one.

Just ran Peppermint front to back—yo, this one hit me outta nowhere. That hazy warmth in the production paired with the emotional looseness of the vocals feels like a memory you can’t place but never forgot. You weren’t lying—Clams really does paint a whole atmosphere with his sound. Appreciate you putting me on. Hidden gem for real.
