i made a playlist of song titles in chronological order

update/disclaimer: not all of the songs on the playlist are in these screenshots! i think it would've been too many pics but the link is there if you want to see all of them. i've also added dozens of suggestions from other users since posting this so these screenshots are outdated

#music #playlist #spotify playlist #mine #adele #bo burnham #vampire weekend #jonas brothers #charli xcx #troye sivan #birdy #bowling for soup #owl city #erykah badu #anne marie #mac miller #ben folds #cage the elephant #they might be giants #arctic monkeys #Spotify #1985 by bo burnham was one of the songs that sparked this idea and it's not in these screenshots oops #1985 by bowling for soup was on there the whole time too no need to keep commenting it #that song is a cover but nobody seems to care about that it's all about year 3000 for you people #i dont think anyone on earth is reading these tags anymore but if youre gonna suggest a song please check the playlist first #or if you dont want to do that you can check the number of replies and comments/tags #and decide how likely it is that you're thinking of a song nobody's suggested yet

when asked what he meant by "a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs", Adam Young said: "I was the recipient of 1,000 hugs from 10,000 lightning bugs for a grand total of 10,000,000 hugs. As the lyrics of the song clearly state, the average layperson would not believe their eyes if 10,000,000 fireflies were to illuminate planet Earth, nor would the average person conclude by natural instinct that 10,000 lightning bugs acting as a collective group, are capable of embracing a human being 1,000 times without difficulty. By the same token, a gathering of lightning bugs in such vast numbers form a sort of “swarm,” and a swarm can collectively surround a human and deliver a “hug” that a single firefly, acting according to the dictates of his own conscience, simply cannot. Consequently, I was embraced 1,000 times by 10,000 luminescent insects. This may seem inconceivable due to the firefly’s soft-shelled body, which is common among all winged beetles within the Lampyridae insect family. Members of the scientific community may be tempted to cast doubt upon the possibility of this exchange due to the immobility of the prothorax and pterothorax, in addition to the elytra protruding outward while a firefly is engaged in mid-flight. However, I can testify to the accuracy of this exchange. I can furthermore add that while each individual hug took place, each firefly participated in the chemical reaction commonly known as bioluminescence in which the enzymes within the firefly, in the presence of oxygen, magnesium ions and ATP, emitted a chemically produced light or “glow” because they were happy to be hugging me"

An old unreleased Owl City song and its music video were leaked, and Adam Young got cancelled for it because the video was just 3 minutes of him dancing in front of footage of 9/11 and other disasters.

Shoutout to Owl City for seeming like a normal dude, but you check his social media for like 2 seconds and you see stuff like him ranting about how much he loves mayonnaise and goofing off with his music software to remix him saying the word breakfast into a song. Honestly kinda criminal he doesn't have an account here cause he'd fit in perfectly like a stickbug on a stick

'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite

And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die

And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light

And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

fun facts

About "Running Up That Hill", Kate Bush explained: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman can’t understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other’s roles, if we could actually be in each other’s place for a while, I think we’d both be very surprised! And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was with the devil. And I thought, ‘well, no, why not a deal with God!’ You know, because in a way it’s so much more powerful, the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called “Deal With God”, that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn’t play it, France wouldn’t play it, and Australia wouldn’t play it! Ireland wouldn’t play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title"

thanks to Stranger Things, Kate Bush has broken 3 records: the longest-ever gap between #1 singles, the longest time for a single to reach #1, and the oldest female artist ever to score a #1.
