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.

True love waits - Radiohead
It was originally a B-side, written when Thom was an angsty, insecure teenager. He sings about all the little things he loves about her and repeatedly implored her "please don't leave". They wound up together, had 2 kids, then Radiohead rerecorded and rereleased it as she was dying of cancer, giving it a whole new, heartbreaking meaning.
90s version
2020s version
For a hot second there I thought you wrote "Tom Waits - Radiohead" and I was like... waaaaaait.
That'd be interesting lol
