I personally connect deeply with Amélie Farren. I’ve been listening to her music since she first posted it to tiktok. I can’t explain what about it connects so well but it just clicjs for me.
That got me thinking what artists other lemmings connected to. Hence the title

I truly believe John Darnielle is the most talented working poet right now.
Tomas Kalnoky (bands include Catch 22, Streetligh Manifest, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, and Toh Kay) is one of the best songwriters of all time, IMO. His lyrics resonate very well with me.
Pat the bunny (Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Ramshackle Glory, Wignut Dishwashers Union, etc) is another great lyricist. While they don’t always speak directly to my personal life experiences, I’ve known a lot of people like those he describes, and his politics match mine closely.
John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats) is just a beautiful poet and puts a TON of emotion into his guitar playing. I truly believe he’s the greatest living poet working right now.
Sad pretentious answer: King Crimson.
Simply stated sentiment, with bouts of internal fantasy, fleeting manic happy moments, but always struck to the ever present earmark of private existential despair that washes over you day after day.
Off With Their Heads
Yanni.
Period.
Radiohead, especially In Rainbows. They have amazing melancholy music that also has a groove to it.
Beethoven and Bach. Depends.
I thought of die antwoord first, which is surprising and probably not correct but that’s my first answer.
I think they’re music videos have a lot to do with that, those really helped me lock into their songs.
I definitely like the zef vibe
die antwoord
Aren’t they involved in some sick shit? Like bullying people and torturing their adopted kids?
Yeah, at best they’re assholes, at worst they’re criminals.
yikes, never heard of that. thanks, I’ll go look it up.
I use to like their music too… But I remember a video and serious allegations coming out a few years ago, that really raised question about their behaviors.
Leonard Cohen
Cynthoni, formerly known as Sewerslvt
Jonathan Coulton. His songs are this perfect blend of funny, nerdy, and melancholic. Like, one song is about a self-loathing giant squid that I find myself totally identifying with.
Stephin Merritt
Oh wow, over 1m monthly listeners on Spotify and I’ve never heard of the artist. Though I don’t use Tik Tok so maybe I shouldn’t be too surprised hah. A good reminder of how huge the world of music is, let alone the arts
The artist that comes closest is Borusiade, I often imagine myself somewhere in the music, regardless of the genre, era or cultural background. Their music feels the most “me” in the dark, shadowy vibe most of their music gets across… Breathe being a prime example.
It really is interesting how simultaneously big and small the world it now. I have times where people call an artist the biggest up in comer and I have never heard of them but they somehow have 10mil monthly listeners.
I got off tiktok a while ago and the only thing that I miss is small musicians that post their early works to the platform.Their music is interesting I’ll definitely have to check out more of it to see how I feel about it.
