Anhedonia by Chelsea Wolfe-and Emma Ruth-Rundle

Beautiful haunting song.

Gave me similar vibes to parts of the Inland Empire and Mulholland Drive soundtrack.

There is a very specific song that it’s reminding me of — I just can’t remember what song it is. As soon as I remember I’ll update it here.

I think it is reminding me of “Llorando” — the French version of Crying from Mulholland Drive.

Nymphetamine album — Cradle of Filth

Released in 2004, this is one of my favourite albums from my younger days.

Thanks to a work mate, my love for this band has been re-ignited. I have been listened to their albums lots over the past couple of weeks, but this one has stood out to me above most.

Possibly helped along from the nostalgia I feel for this album.

Stand out songs for me

  • Track 2 — Gilded Cunt
  • Track 3 — Nemesis
  • Track 5 — Nymphetamine overdose

California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and the Papas

Something in this song feels haunting to me. I can’t quite place my finger on it. It could be the way that each of their voices meets in that ethereal plane that few bands have managed to reach.

Stopped into a church I passed along the way.
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees) And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)

California Dreamin’ by The Mamas and the Papas

Something in this song feels haunting to me. I can’t quite place my finger on it. It could be the way that each of their voices meets in that ethereal plane that few bands have managed to reach – a sound that I associate with the golden age of music, at least in my opinion.

I remember watching part of a film in college film studies called “Chungking Express“, which featured this song prominently. I never really paid attention to that film, but I can’t help but feel I should go back and watch it now I’m older and… wiser?

Far From Alive — Resident Evil 2 Rap

This rap song from “JT Music” is a decent rap song inspired by the Resident Evil 2 Remake game.

At first I thought that this would be a bit of a gimmick, but it has legit grown on me and is now in my regular playlist.

I am addicted to running around the world of Raccoon City in Resident Evil 2 and the recently-released Resident Evil 3 Remake.

I’m looking forward to any music that the same creator can bring from RE3’s world in the coming weeks / months.

More by The Sisters of Mercy

Absolute banger of a song by The Sisters of Mercy and Written by Jim Steinman.

Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more

Lyrics by Jim Steinman

My first time hearing this song was in fact as a cover by Meat Loaf on his album Braver Than We Are. The song was actually written by Jim Steinman whose most well-known collaborator is Meat Loaf. And he has been known to reuse his songs for different artists over the years
