you ever hear a song from a band you've never heard before that makes you fall in love her second you hear it?

So you spend all day listening to it, you've got the lyrics memorized by nightfall, you've got little choreo steps you can hit when you need to, already know which notes you can bridge and which you'll break trying to stretch toward, right?

You're obsessed with the fucking song and you don't know why, but that's okay, because it's a great song and music is the answer. But you're curious, so you go listen to some other songs by the band. Their most popular songs, older ones, newer ones, whatever they've got on the net! But 20 songs later you're disappointed and wondering 'how is it they only made ONE song I like? That seems like an anomaly... not even a chorus on one of these other ones??'

But you can't find whatever answer you were searching for, so you decide to leave the gift horse un-surveyed. Instead you go on streaming website (name redacted because they're not sponsoring this post), load the song up, and - wait, whats the first comment say?

[ God, I miss (seemingly unrelated musical act) already ]

??? What? I mean - I'll admit the sound is kinda similar, but - Well the vibes are alike too, actually. Very similar to a big song (unrelated act) released a few summers before this song... and I do love THAT song just as I do this one. Is - Mother fucker, did they copyright infringe (unrelated act)?!

Do a small google. Turns out (unrelated act) produced this song for the 'new' band, and as such this was their last musical act together before disbanding.

This song was their final auditory gift to the world, and it feels like them. It sounds like them. It's been in my mind all day, I've listened to it 3 times since I started writing this post.

I didn't expect to be actually tearing up a little about legacies & how music is the answer, but I'm so glad I'm here. This really brightened my whlle outlook on things.

#ᴄʜᴀɴɢɪɴɢ ᴍʏ ʙʀᴀɪɴ ᴄʜᴇᴍɪsᴛʀʏ; ooc. #It really got me right in my chest that this was them both putting a new talent over but also going out with a phantom #'Our last song will be something beyond what it is... so let's give it to someone else. Make it their next one instead.' #Fuck you thats beautiful! Thats like actual literary trope shit but in my aural lifetime my god #cw long post #I'd write out what bands im talking about but i dont want any fans of australian electropop to come after me #Seriously i don't like any of their other songs. But they start strumming the bequeathal and oh baby! #I've mentioned before that music theory is my passion right? This hasn't come out of left field i hope
