Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

This one is random, but there's a song by Florence and the Machine on the beautiful album High As Hope called "South London Forever" and when she hits the line about it never snowing again, my heart breaks, about loss of experiences and also death for me. And while that's not "love" heart break, I think what really saddens me is that idea of something being done forever, from life experiences, to life itself.
And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a space to watch things grow
But did I dream too big?
Do I have to let it go?
What if one day there is no such thing as snow?
Oh God, what do I know?
