Schizoid Playlist

I'm addicted to music and make music myself. I like a broad range of genres... but I find myself mostly listening to stuff without vocals. A lot of psytrance. Darkpsy, Goa, Forest mostly... Lately I've been listening to a lot of dark ambient.

Here's three artists that come to my mind when you talk about SPD

Women

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

"Being Human" by Skrux

Deeply Disturbed - Infected Mushroom

Oingo Boingo - Just Another Day:

Deep Purple Lazy

I guess I could think a little bit more. Most of the song in Machine Head album has rythimm that doesnt fit the lyrics.

The classic is Smoke on The Water, telling the history of a fire in Montreaux Switzerland.

I think that music is the only thing were I see my feelings clearly.

And I also love this kind of paradox between happy rythimn and sad lyrics.

Even thought i like profound themes, when it comes about music, I like simple lyrics.

These belong here.

razörschrieck - eternal fatigue

hovert - prisoner of anhedonia

One song I really identify with (in parts...but large parts) is Patty Griffin's Top of the World. I think it's just full of schizoid regret, and very strangely, it's a country song. I don't usually think there is a lot of schizoid-compatible country music out there, but this really resonated with me, especially the verses.

I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife does

I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world Now
To the top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no God to
Teach me no lessons

I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there
In my chair

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Now
To the top of the world

I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the inside
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow?

Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world
