2) Any Bad Religion song can be sung by the campfire: e.g. the original Dearly Beloved sounds like Slipknot but the acoustic is borderline country gospel! Also, Along The Way sounds like a scout march

3) Still on punk, you can play New Model Army at any country bar, make everyone vibe to the violin riffs of Vagabonds and Purity, and hopefully nobody will notice the British sarcasm in the lyrics

4) The gran finale from Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5 (Ein Feste Burg) is the perfect music for Fourth of July fireworks: think of a fully-orchestrated fanfare in gallop rhythm based on a church hymn

My hot take is ever since we advanced from when people only could listen to the radio in the car, I have no idea what people listen to nowadays (plus im in da weeb/vtuber music corner)

I am held captive by music made in a fictional language, and if Ar Tonelico never gets another game, it may as well be songs sung in a dead language.

I don't know if this is a "hot take" but I love songs that show that people hear music perfectly fine but they never listen to it. Songs that "sound happy" but aren't as optimistic as they first sound

Sometimes I only listen to a song because I just really like/feel the way a certain note/notes is played, or the way the singer sings that one word/sentence

If you want a chill melody to write lyrics over, check out J.S. Bach's Andante from Violin Sonata No. 2. His Arioso takes all the flowers from the songwriters, but the Andante also deserves some love!
