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 ✧
(songs that remind me of tthm/tatsumi/himeru but i can't be as specific about :3)
silver springs (shoutout to bibi), remember my name, i bet on losing dogs, moving, oh to be in love, rosemary, army dreamers, creep, last night i dreamt that somebody loved me, cien años, primaveral
