Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
Hi Mello! I was wondering if you have any songs that make you think of himeru or tatsumi? Or them together? Have a lovely day♡♡
hiii thank you so much for your question! i do have a few, though i'm embarrassed to share because with the way my mind works is i can apply any song to my favorite ships & characters, i'm not very good at recognizing when they don't "fit" .. but i'll try my best :') also my music taste isn't the broadest so erm. everyone has to be nice to me ok
also i didn't realize retrospring hates spotify links until i finished writing so here's a playlist link with all the songs and also i'll put it in a tweet reply
💚 songs that remind me of tatsuhime 🩵
➔ y, ¿si fuera ella?: Ok this is like the most tatsuhime song ever to me. it's in spanish but like. here. translation by yours truly. If you get it you get it...
⨳ "She's with me, but I don't know where she goes / My rival, my companion / So deeply entwined in my life, yet such an outsider / I know I'll lose myself again / And I'll find her once more / But with a different face and a different name / And another body / But she keeps being her"
⨳ "She, who grows cold and eternal / A sigh in the storm, whose voice has changed so many times / People that come and go, and it's always her / Who lies to me and denies it / Who forgets me and remembers me / But if my mouth misspeaks / And when I call out to her I name another / Sometimes she feels compassion / For this crazy, blind and crazy heart"
please you need to understaaaand...
➔ prófugos: another spanish song and one i have even less of a case for but like. My demons.
⨳ "We have nowhere to go / We're like a devastated area / Roads without meaning / Religions without reason / How can we survive? / Don't be so cruel / Don't look for more pretexts / Don't be so cruel / We will always / We will always be fugitives / The two of us"
ideal tatsuhime duet
➔ goodbye, my danish sweetheart: i don't listen to mitski much nowadays, but this has always been a tthmcore song to me...
⨳ "And I don't blame you / If you want to bury me in your memory / I'm not the girl I ought to be, but / Maybe when you tell your friends / You can tell them what you saw in me / And not the way I am"
(other mitski songs i think are tthm: i want you & first love/late spring)
♦️ songs that remind me of tatsumi ♦️
➔ palomas blancas: this one is less lyrics based and more vibes based, i just think the sound of the song encapsulates his Vibes as well as the overall musicality of it... it's very wonderful to me :) many natalia lafourcade songs remind me of him
⨳ "I ask you that the white doves don't leave me / The strength in their wings that fly over mountains / May the ground that always shakes support my calves / May the sun of this melody be to brighten my days / And may nothing of ours ever end / May nothing of ours ever end"
⨳ "Earth, hug me / Hug me with your light / Hear my footsteps walk / My soul breathe in your arms / Earth, hug me / Hug me with your skin / Hear my body accelerate / Running to the top to have your affection"
(other natalia lafourcade songs: mi lugar favorito, casa & cursis melodías)
➔ this night has opened my eyes: a Giant stretch, but his tragedy reminds me of this song
⨳ "Oh, he said he'd cure your ills / But he didn't and he never will / Oh, save your life / Because you've only got one / The dream has gone / But the baby is real / Oh, you did a good thing / She could have been a poet / Or, she could have been a fool / Oh, you did a bad thing / And I'm not happy / And I'm not sad"
➔ 4:00A.M: I mean. Well yes! i eat up the obbligato amv i imagine to this song
⨳ "Now / If I let go / Of this moment / We'll pass each other by / And never meet again / Lord, give me one more chance / Is this the last one, I wonder? / Lord, give me one more chance / I want to change things somehow"
➔ (they long to be) close to you: this is also a vibes-based choice, it just reminds me of him a lot ... also bird mention... heh... a droplet of a flower...
⨳ "Why do birds suddenly appear / Every time you are near? / Just like me, they long to be / Close to you"
☕ songs that remind me of himeru ☕
➔ eclipse: my ideal himeru solo song Don't listen to it in spotify but it's perfect. to me. "Hidden in my heart" TAKE MY HAND... LET ME SHOW YOU THE WORLD...
⨳ "It’s begun, eclipse / Within the hidden shadows is the place you and I come face to face / Within destiny our awoken hearts / Have been led to each other by love"
⨳ "A variety of colors different from me, it’s amazing / Hidden in my heart (Color) I want to show you"
⨳ "Your heart is diffusing in the light / You catch my eye like Pandora’s Box / In the mirror is a silhouette like a drawing, I’m calling for you"
➔ love and anger: kate bush in general reminds me of himeru, in my brain he listens to her. This song is just so insanely himeru...
⨳ "It lay buried here / It lay deep inside me / It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it / It could take me all of my life / But it would only take a moment to / Tell you what I'm feeling, but I don't know if I'm ready yet / You come walking into this room / Like you're walking into my arms / And what would I do without you? / Take away the love and the anger / And a little piece of hope holding us together / Looking for a moment that'll never happen / Living in the gap between past and future"
⨳ "If you can't tell your sister / If you can't tell a priest / 'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it to anyone / Can you tell it to your heart? / Can you find it in your heart / To let go of these feelings like a bell to a southerly wind?"
(other kate bush songs: running up that hill, all we ever look for & all the love
➔ just: Forgive me for the radiohead. He Does do it to himself tho..... ☹️
⨳ "Can't get the stink off / He's been hanging 'round for days / Comes like a comet / Suckered you, but not your friends / One day he'll get to you / And teach you how to be a holy cow / You do it to yourself, you do / And that's what really hurts / Is that you do it to yourself, just you / You and no one else / You do it to yourself"
➔ please please please let me get what i want: the deftones version specifically. the way he didn't have a dream until kaname.......
⨳ "Haven't had a dream in a long time / See, the life I've had / Can make a good man bad / So for once in my life / Let me get what I want / Lord knows, it would be the first time / Lord knows, it would be the first time"
➔ no good deed: I don't know wicked i only know this song but you need to hear me out with this one. Ok i can't even justify it but like (projects my vision into your mind). "Let him never die = Immortalizing the HiMERU persona" CAN YOU HEAR ME...
⨳ "Let his flesh not be torn / Let his blood leave no stain / Though they beat him / Let him feel no pain / Let his bones never break / And however they try / To destroy him / Let him never die / Let him never die"
⨳ "One question haunts and hurts / Too much, too much to mention / Was I really seeking good / Or just seeking attention? / Is that all good deeds are / When looked at with an ice-cold eye? / If that's all good deeds are / Maybe that's the reason why / No good deed goes unpunished / All helpful urges should be circumvented / No good deed goes unpunished / Sure, I meant well / Well, look at what well-meant did"
✧ bonus round ✧
