i've been feeling all melancholy & introspective recently, but i don't want to just listen to sad songs and sulk. i love music that itches my brain a bit and music from the band 'Palace' is a good one

.
Palace - Bitter (from the album 'Lost In The Night')
Bitter by Palace is a good itch to my sad brain because of the time signature changes and i LOVE it whenever the beat drop, it helps the brain to be a little less sad. The music itself is groovey but the lyrics hit me so much, thus why it's such a good song to listen to when you get sad yknow? Because unlike other sad songs (i've listened to), they would just make me curl in bed and spend whole day crying. This makes you jam and pull out your instruments, and it makes me feel its okay to be sad while having fun as well.
Palace - Bitter (from the debut album 'So Long Forever')
now this version of Bitter is an older one, i think the other one was a remaster? Sounds like they professionally mastered that song better BUT alllll the raw flavours & feels goes into the version. That drum opening is so DAMN punchy, while the newest one is much more wet. That vocal? Its literally the 11 herb spices man

. And this version is so asymmetry, it's so imperfect and undeniably this one is my favourite version.
What do i say? I definitely am not saying which is better which is good, but i think its all equally just as good. Both pleases me and i think it will meet other people where their taste is at, yknow?
Honorable mentions version is: durmroll tsttststststststsPalace - Bitter (Acoustic)
of courseeee the acoustic version HAS to be mentioned. Acoustic is always good. Of course, it is just guitar in this version BUT they're obviously skilled in music, they know how to play the guitar (duh)! This version is so much cozier, it's a sitting by the fire camping type of song.
It's now dusk, you and your friends finally chilled down from the hype and fun and finally relaxes. but I'm not saying this song sound like that moment only- of course no-
this song sounds like when you look back at THOSE moments because all your friends that were in the moment are separated and in their own character arc. You may be feeling lonely and alone, but everyone has to go through their own phases of growth yknow? So, you decide to live a silent life for a while, growing by yourself and hopefully not apart. And even if apart, that's okay, because you know everyone will look back at those times fondly and hopefully will want to reunite; spend some time by the campfire once again.
Anybody who read all these pls leave your songs that itches youir brain good when you're sad as well, xoxoxooxooxoxoxoxoxo
P.S i have no idea how to make the YT thumbnail appear oop
