Hello friends,

I currently spend a lot of time using public transport and walking. Since it is usually still dark when I leave the house for work and already dark when I come home, I have found that deep(er) music often fits my sleepy / exhausted mood. I have not indulged in this kind of music in the past so I am having trouble filling my playlist.

Since this community is full of magnificient people of impeccable taste in and knowledge of music, I figured that it is the only logical conclusion to ask you guys for help.

Please state the artist and song name exactly as it can be found on spotify, my music streaming service of choice.
I am not bound to a certain genre, but I guess most these songs are gonna be slow and melancholic.

As an example, I am leaving you with the most recent addition:

Billie Eilish - "What Was I Made For?" (which previously unbeknownst to me appears to be a song from the OST of the all popular movie "Barbie")

I am looking forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance!

I respect people who listen to whole albums, but I'd rather have a playlist with different artists, so if there are any songs that stick out, I'd appreciate it

if youre building your own playlist, why not listen to albums and see what songs stick out to you and add those (most albums are about 45 minutes long)? otherwise why not just take someone else's full playlist, or use spotify radio or something?

That's a fair point and I might do that in the future, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around (:

I dont think these songs are very deep or anything but I like them a lot for various personal reasons and they all send me pretty deep into thought. I think the thread's subject is tough because the kinda stuff to invoke strong thoughts in people vary wildly

Mac Miller - Faces
Earl Sweatshirt - Some Rap Songs

Both are longish listens but have great lyrics and introspection about life

based on your description pink floyd may fit the bill, i'll recommend the following songs and if you're into it i'd suggest checking out the albums wish you were here, animals, the wall, and dark side of the moon.

time
comfortably numb
high hopes
us and them
dogs
pigs
wish you were here
welcome to the machine
shine on you crazy diamond
lost for words
marooned
