DAY 4 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
Challange four gets a little deep and dark….
Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
Mostly for the memory of playing the song at the time many, many years ago, when I was 26, trying to forget someone. Will’s Blues - The Blackeyed Susans
If you’re looking for a more modern break up song. I thoroughly recommend Mitski’s Be The Cowboy album or Caroline Rose’s - Art of Forgetting album.
Not in a “this song speaks to my relationship with this person” way, but she kind of turned me on to Ani. It was a tumultuous semi-relationship and I’m glad it never got past that. I really hope she figured things out and got herself clean.
Tough one for me… probably Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne” brings someone to mind that was probably a pretty low point for me. https://youtu.be/svitEEpI07E
Not that I want to forget the person but I’d like to dissociate some memories so I can better enjoy the song again
Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks https://youtu.be/ghb6eDopW8I
Jack Off Jill - Angels Fuck
Very dramatic, but extremely cathartic at the time.My Backwards Walk - Frightened Rabbit
The album these songs are from is basically about a relationship that you just can’t get over.
Gut wrenching album!
Maria Mena - Viktoria
The whole album reminds me about a low low time in my life which revolved around a person who shall not be named. Couldn’t listen to it for years but I’ve tried it again recently and now it’s not so bad anymore. Beautiful album, heartbreaking songs, lyrics and melodies.

From high school era, ‘nuff said
high school sucks - someone asked me once if I could go back and do again would I? yeah, uh, nawwwww
Don’t really have a song that matches the prompt. The closest I can get is a song that reminds me of some of the most difficult periods of time in my life, and of the people I’ve been that I’d rather forget I was (well not forget because I’d never learn, but, you know). This is one I recommend giving the lyrics a read through (THOUGH A ⚠️BIG TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ if you struggle with self harm).
yeah, my partner and I talked about it on our way to our hike. I find it’s less about a “person” you’d rather forget and maybe moments instead.
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me

An ex-girlfriend or summer fling. I still feel fondly when I think of her, which only happens when this song comes on. My wife doesn’t know.
