Recently heard “feed the machine” for the first time and instantly wanna go destroy capatilsm and like join a picket line against the wealthy elite.
Any of you discover a song recently that just hit hard?
Poor man’s poison’ feed the machine? Excellent track.
Yeah never heard them before but my gf had a feeling I would like them!
I have no idea if it’s what the singers had in mind but I feel so like pro union listening to it. So many corporations have proven a million times that the only reason they don’t kill more people is because of potential negative profits.
I’ve given up trying to crack where the identity of the band is, I’m pretty sure we’d be inline, but some of the tracks make us pause the music and discuss if we’re being duped by killer licks.
An excellent band with an excellent sound. I hope they make more albums!
Hey OP I just realized I should have linked the very tiny (so far no one but me posts there) kbin magazine I mod which is intended to more or less collect songs such as you describe. For each post I’ve included the lyrics.
I’m not sure how to link it that it will clickable on Lemmy, but it’s:

Edit- I’d love not to be the only one posting!
The New Pornographers - Whiteout Conditions
I remember this album from when it came out, but I first heard this song again about a month ago. It encapsulates y feelings about the Gaza war, and how the more I learn, the more I feel like there are very few moral choices one can make.
Can’t believe it took so long to actually listen to Staight outta Compton, but that has some interesting observations on race and law enforcement in America.
I don’t seek out her music but anything by Sia makes me emotionally charged.
For me, it was The Beatles’ new “Now and Then” track. A couple of things to mention though:
-
I was born after 1996. This is the only new Beatles song released in my lifetime that hasn’t appeared as bootlegs or the like. Unless Hell freezes over and they release “Carnival of Light”, this is the only opportunity I will ever have to experience a truly new track by the group.

I didn’t have as strong of a reaction the first that I heard it. Or the second time. I suffer from TMJ, which tenses and aches my jaw and puts pressure on my inner ear, oftentimes dampening my hearing. It wasn’t until late the date of release that my jaw popped and released the tension which it had had that day and I could hear clearly. The first thing I did was put on the new song so I could experience it in its whole. And there were so many layers to it that I couldn’t hear with the first listens. There was a mix of appreciation marred by the frustration of how fleeting the moment was, not just from being part of the once in a lifetime zeitgeist but also a brief moment of physical relief and undamped senses.
