Erei Song of the Derei (song of the day) archive post

(See this blog for more details! Most of the time my choices have good reasoning, other times I just kinda go "this  is it." All of the links are primarily Spotify unless otherwise specified, alternative youtube links are provided at the end of each entry though!)

this day I quickly made a song in like 1-2 hours (it's a little repetitive) and put it as the sotd,, sorry for the selfishness HELP... but the song is Inner Labyrinth by none other than me!!

Gay Activity I’m sorry I genuinely can’t get this song out of my head and it’s a childhood song for me and probably some of you too, but by putting this as the song of the day I feel like I’m letting some of you guys down, so today please link some of your own songs of the day and why you want others to listen to it :3 (again this was for the discord server, but you can still leave me some recommendations for future days!)

HAI CHAT!! 
[Mai Mai Mai](open.spotify.com/track/72vNbz6kcsk64PIqoih2Jh?si=0UQOY4TsR6GXv1Gu4-r7VQ) is the song of the day, a vocaloid song by Mitchie M <:TEEHEE:1150221520975708160> honest to god i fuckinf LOVE mitchie m they’re my favorite vocaloid producer ever, i was cycling through my music trying to figure out the sotd and this came on and i instantly went <:happy:1179888913880453192> the chords in this song are so silly and make me so happy <:TEEHEE:1150221520975708160> and the bass in this song is SO GOOD like you can hear the bass guitar it’s so scrumptious 
the alternative sotd is [It Means Everything - Metal Remix](open.spotify.com/track/4xPAEBom1OxpnHxktiHfAY?si=oy5rOeIsRMq4MfvYG44pEA) this is one of my favorite metal tracks of all time, especially because it doesn’t follow standard western chord progression, the guitar is in drop d tuning (i think help), and it’s so deliciously crunchy the distortion is so fucking good. i think that this remix better encapsulates the feelings of the bossfight than the original, the first two chords are C9 into b sometjing and it’s SO FUCKING GOOD my god

The Choice is Yours, Revisited by Black Sheep is an old hiphop song from the early 1990s, a pioneer of spacial audio and is the source of a very recognizable sample. if your parents were ever born in the 70s-80s, they might be fond of this song. i chose this song because it has SUCH a good bass line, and my mom loves it lol. i fucking love 80s-early 2000s hiphop
the alternative song today, The Bug Collector, is just gorgeous. i can’t really type it out but it’s so pretty

hai chat!! VOLUME WARNING ⚠️
today's song is m00d Medley by NANORAY. i was super pissed off yesterday and i’m still pretty mad lol, but this song encapsulates the pure chaotic energy that is glitchbreak and represents my state of mind rn. if you’ve heard me talk about glitchbreak, then you know how much i love nanoray and won’t shut up about them. nanoray’s songs have a unique property in the way they sound sparkly and dystopian in a sense, like it’s if a city made a sound, it would sound like nanoray’s “sparkle,” which leads me onto the alternative sotd, also by nanoray! Sequential Dreambox by NANORAY is a  song that starts out pretty quiet, but it goes to normal volume pretty quickly, so don’t turn your volume up super high lol. this song isn’t too chaotic or loud, and is like the pure “sparkly” nanoray song, neither of these songs have lyrics

hai chat!! today's sotd is I play 14 string guitar by Ichika Nito (youtube link), the song's name is kind of ridiculous lol but playing this instrument alone is insanely impressive, so i understand where it's coming from. Ichika is an amazing composer and guitarist, making their name well known throughout the online guitar community. but the song i picked in particular is just so fucking catchy and so pretty, and the thing about their guitar is that like, there aren't really people who teach 14 string guitar?? so they just learned it by themselves, and that shows incredible display of understanding of music theory :3

tl;dr, ichika nito good

hai chat!! After The Storm (feat. Tyler, The Creator & Boosty Collins) by Kali Uchis this is today’s song of the day because i believe its lyrics have very important messages, and most i like to live by.
“If you need a hero, just look in the mirror. No one’s gonna save you now, so you better save yourself…The sun’ll come out, nothing good ever comes easy. I know times are rough, but winners don’t quit so don’t you give up”
if you’d like a less normal song for the sotd, see Love-colored Master Sparkthis is marisa kirisame’s theme from touhou. the tokyo active neets have done an amazing job at recreating the jazz electro fusion for touhou character themes, so i recommend you listen to all of their music! i picked marisa’s theme in particular because it’s a personal favorite :3 i heart marisa

hello chat! song for my lost ghost friends by spellcasting is today's sotd.
this song perfectly captures the feeling it goes for, said feeling bringing me immense fear, so rhis song shakes me up... THE SONG ISN’T SCARY, it’s very cute but rather melancholy and bittersweet, and i’d like to know how you guys feel when you listen to it
if you’d like a more normal song with lyrics as a sotd, listen to Rapp Snitches Knishes (feat. Mr. Fantastik)this is MF DOOM’s most popular song, it’s hip hop much more reminiscent of 90s hip hop than anything modern (most of his discography is). if you don’t like this genre, i still strongly encourage you to give it one listen, so if you do end up liking it, YIPPIE :D, if not, you can say you listened (this applies for any sotd really!)

Pink + White by Frank Ocean i would say this is like a classic but it literally isn’t in any way… but like it’s definitely a staple on modern music :3 it was released in 2016, and it’s still really really good

hai chat, The Foxes Wedding by MASA WORKS DESIGN (youtube link) this is an oldish vocaloid song that you might know, i chose it bc it was stuck in my head this morning bur it’s unique in the way that it’s pretty creepy. the term “the foxes wedding” can mean when there’s simultaneously sun and rain, and sometimes in the states that’s called “the devil beating his wife” (why can’t we call it something normal)

sotd! meowsynth kawaii future bass was a mistake by AZALI even if you don't know or like this genre, i strongly encourage you to listen to this, it's smiliar to that of snail's house/ujico snail
unfortunately a lot of azali's songs are really short sniffle, but it's still worth the listen
