Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
I mean the whole Aeroplane album from Neutral Milk Hotel, but one song, Holland, 1945 always gets me thinking…
Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945

Even got some lyrics tattooed on me, “And she was born in a bottle rocket…” love that imagery.
I’ve always loved the line “how strange it is to be anything at all.”
It’s off their new album. The lead singer said this about the subject matter: “‘Jaws’ is a song about the expectations that come along with adulthood: marriage, buying a home, having kids, white picket fences. I have to wonder if we all truly want those things or if we follow suit out of fear and peer pressure."
For me, it makes me think about the overall experience of being female and the expectations and pressures that come along with that.
It’s not easy on the ears, but the only thing I can think of is “The World’s Gonna End” by Mike Krol
Magnetic Fields - I wish I had an evil twin

I don’t know why, but I get lost in my thoughts when this song comes on. Hypnotic rhythms, deep voice. Yah.
Something about Coffee & TV by Blur does this to me… It makes me feel very introspective .
The video is awesome as well.
