What albums invoke a really specific memory for you /mu/?
>Making out in a mall parking lot in the backseat of my truck for the last time with ex-gf before having to leave to an out-of-state college.
>Laying in bed, watching a pretty violent rainstorm beat down on my windows. Surrounded by blankets, only moving to flip the record.
>Nervously driving my date to prom, making small talk while I pop this album on.
>>63638924
playing the witcher 3 during the summer, trying to get over a girl
>listening to I Miss You by Blink with my ex gf while we cuddled on the couch after her prom
What a fuckin turn my life has taken. Still cant listen to that song to this day.
>Excitedly wrapping the first mix tape I made for this girl who was everything my folk punk heart ever wanted as a birthday present.
>Chose Punk Rock Girl as the opening track.
>Still kick myself about fucking it up with her. Left a pretty embarrassing message on her answering machine a while back when I got too drunk.
>>63639028
Let Her Go reminds me of a girl I turned down
Thinking I could imagine what Hypnotize describes in a relationship with my bitch ass ex when I was too in love. I could probably sing out loud every song in this album though.
>>63639281
>tfw basically had the same thing happen
I would do anything to get her back.
>>63639298
Why'd you turn her down familia?
>>63639452
Sometimes you just gotta use that negative energy as a means to improve yourself. Because of that whole thing i've started lifting and getting super into health. Granted you could use the same energy more creatively or musically, but that was just my story.
The album we were both listening to when we first said "I love you" to each other
Also the album I listened to the day after she died.
>lossing my virginity to a one night stand then regretting it for ever and always feeling awkward when i listen to my favorite album
>>63639577
Funny you say that because ive been dieting so that I can bulk and ive been working slowly on an album, based quite a bit on these emotions. I know that its rose colored glasses and that she was actually a bitch, but I always come back to that thought of "what if."
>skipped the last day of Freshman year at H.S. to go on a walk/hike a mountain and get real stoned with some people
>The rest of Summer 2013 was real
>>63639674
Those two words can cut the deepest and sound the loudest when i'm not being productive. I guess productive escapism is the name of game sometimes. But I would still totally be down to check out that album when it drops dude.
>smoking weed and tagging with Mikey and Juan summer before 9th grade
RIP in peace Mikey
>driving down a city highway on a rainy day
>this past October
>Earth Science teacher played 'Motel In Memphis' in class as part of a larger prep-day, if we could guess what it was about we'd get extra points for our group
>It's about the assassination of MLK
>Leaving school
>Hear that my friend died
>Go home, confirmed on Facebook
>Damn
>Go out, run some errands whatever I had to do that day
>Get home
>Go into the bathroom
>Start crying
>Sit in my bathtub, fully dressed
>Listen to 'Motel in Memphis' on repeat for 30 minutes while I ball my eyes out
>Eat dinner with my parents like everything's fine
>>63639604
:'(
>>63640068
>>63640075
about 20 seconds apart, close call guys
>Smoking in my shitty car, cruising all over New England last summer with my best friend, before I went away.
>I never told him I was in love with him.
Listening to the first song on this album while on tour with friends in Texas, high as fuck in the back seat watching billboards pass by
>tfw no orange julius
>>63640010
>>63640166
Rip lol
>>63640166
wish my weed friends weren't all pop punk and dub fags
>>63639776
Thanks anon. Still just thinking of tracks but I have one or two I might post in some soundcloud threads or something. Looking to get a midi converter so I can stand out from the billions of fl studio chillwave posters. I opened a sound cloud a while ago called Development Seized so if you see that in a thread its a me.
After moving to a new city, at the worst moment of my depression, during an heatwave, 37C at midnight, laying on the floor naked because even the bed was too hot, listening to Poor Places and crying my eyes out
>and it's hot in the poor places tonight
>I'm not going outside
>>63639604
Story?
>>63639604
Such a perfect album
Such a heartbreaking story
High school in it's entirety
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I spent a summer in DC listening to this album a shit ton and riding the trains all around. Every time I listen to it I kind of feel like I'm back on one of those trains.
>>63639526
Because I didn't deserve her love and affection
>>63640858
I find this oddly depressing
My spiral into drug addiction
I remember planting No Surprises on repeat for 30 minutes on my bedroom after the death of my not-yet-born brother.
Screaming to myself driving home that I cant make myself believe in god no matter how badly I want to, that my whole life is a fucking joke, and that I will ultimately leave no mark or memory on this earth with To Here Knows When blaring.
>>63641447
High AF and crying tears of joy while listening to Blown A Wish and staring into a lavalamp.
>>63638924
>creating the peak of a large bridge over a river just as the sun rises and the melody on whitewater simultaneously starts
comfy as fuck
>>63639168
You're already a voice inside my head.
That line got me when I first heard the song on the radio shortly after my gf dumped me.
>>63642693
*cresting
fug
>last time i went on holiday to visit my auntie and uncle in spain
>they have this house they built up in the mountains, but obviously not the cold kinda mountains, really warm and nice
>driving around the winding roads, always a nice view to look at
most albums I ilsten to bring me back to a certain point on the route the bus I took to work and college took for the last 5 years before I got a motorbike
>>63640154
Since I moved to NE I've had a lot of bitter sweet friendships and relationships. It's a strange place, a place you can call home even though it can depress the fuck out of you, and you love it. Much like a girl...
I always come back to this album when stuff is happening
>you're standing in an elevator and thanking me for playing chess with you and that you look forward to beating me again next time. The door closes, and a few months later you're dead.
>I'm standing on an overpass at about 1 am after taking an evening course in the summer.
>I'm sitting in my old elementary school yard and I'm picturing my 4 year old self going to school for the first time as I crumple on a bench
>you'd take us camping, you had such a good sense of humour. Your son watched you die in front of him.
>first day of high school and I knew nobody, I felt so small.
>getting sleepy now with these pills, the nurses won't leave me alone...
>the summer where it was constantly grey and humid, I got dumped by my high school sweetheart, volunteered at a charity shop, feeling hungover on every bus ride to said shop and spending most of my time wandering around my city, killing time before I got to move back to uni (which I would go on to almost drop out of a year later)
Other albums that remind me of this time include
>Torche - Harmonicraft
>Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
>Poliça - Give You The Ghost
>Mr Motherfuckin' eXquire - Lost in Translation
All this music fit the atmosphere for that summer
>>63642791
Worst part was it was the last track on the mix tape I made her.
>>63642944
I've lived here all my life and I feel exactly the same
>Constant listening of this album marks the beginning of a current phase in my life that started few years ago, that is marked by physical anxiety symptoms, increased sociability but consant feeling of insecurity, increased alcohol consumption, heavy smoking and losing the focus to actively pursue relationships with girls anymore. It's this phase of my life where I feel like I am more able than ever to do shit, but everything becomes more meaningless day by day and I work hard just to convince myself that there will be a point in the future where I thank my present self for resilience.
>>63640227
>pop punk
>with weed
holy shit that would be awful
It's not so much albums as songs for me.
>3 Doors Down's Kryptonite
takes me back to the summer between elementary school and middle school. It was a huge hit at the time and playing constantly on the radio. Slow summer days going swimming with my best friend at the neighborhood swimming pool, chilling together as we walked around our neighborhood, singing together. We grew apart once middle school hit and we moved onto new friends.
>Rihanna's Umbrella and Plain White T's Hey There Delilah
takes me back to a summer road trip with friends right after we graduated high school. Again, they were playing everywhere and became the soundtrack of that summer. One of those friends I never see anymore, one lives a continent away but we're still close, another is like the brother I never had.
>driving along the shore of the ocean with the windows down, high as fuck with a couple of friends with this blaring in the car
the part in the first half of Bros where the harmony kicks in will always give me a little taste of bliss after that day
>>63640227
Your friends sound terrible
>>63640573
>Be me
>Be 19
>In college
>Meet qt at a party
>Figured she'd be a one night stand
>Took her back to my dorm
>For some reason, didn't sleep with her
>Let her crash on my couch
>Next morning, woke up before her
>Made her coffee
>Lied and told her neither of us could find any of her friends at the party
>Talk for about 20 minutes
>"Thank you Anon. I owe you one. How about coffee sometime?"
>Fast forward a week later
>"Hey Anon, how's that coffee date sound?"
>Meet for coffee the next day
>Meet for coffee every Sunday when neither of us had classes
>This went on for about 3 months
>Decide to ask her out
>She says yes
>Fast forward a year later
>She has lung cancer
>Want to cry
>Don't want to break down in front of her
>Fast forward another 6 months
>Things are looking good
>Life says NOPE
>She dies during surgery
>>63644081
That fucking sucks. Sorry, man.
>>63641447
Holy shit, are you me?
Almost spot on.
playing video games for an entire summer and listening to this album. Hard to believe it's 10 years old now
>a year after graduation
>my friends and I have gone our seperate ways
>other old classmates going to nice universities and working on their futures
>I'm still home working and going to a community college 20 miles away
>qt3.14 wouldn't talk to me anymore
>be more lonely than I've ever felt in my life
>worry that it'll last forever
It's really dumb in retrospect, but I was not used to that kind of loneliness before. Thank god now, I've finally moved forward a bit
