Hey everyone, I do apologise for being absent for so long. Things came up and RU-vid was not something I thought about doing again until now. Feel free to recommend more songs. Thank you.
Hey, thank you for this, I really love Slow Dancing In The Dark, and this just...hits on another level, y'know? For recommendations, I'd say Suburban Wonderland and iloveyou by The Heirs/between friends (changed their name). Thank you!
Tbh, I feel this. This was this girl in my fall semester who was pretty cool. We were both shy but we ended up talking a lot after we started meeting up before and after class around November. Pretty much everyday when we had the chance, we would talk but eventually that changed. Fall semester ended and we stopped talking as much. We both went to the same college but only saw each other once though. It has been a few months since we last spoke but it is just awkward basic stuff now. I miss those days with those long talks between us on campus. Maybe I can try again and reconnect with her. If not, then at least the memories will be there.
It's like you purposely swim and sink to the bottom of the pool, laying on your back as you finally touch the floor of the pool. Watching the neon party light colors and night sky filter through. You just lay there, holding your breath, letting the memories sink in with you. Till you need to get back up for air.
Truthful_Liar13 hoes ain’t shit. if it didn’t work out it didn’t work out, work on yourself and be the best possible person you can be so you can love yourself and then find someone worth your time. Keep your head up king, your crown is falling
Nicholas Sivulka Stay strong Bro, and try your best to not let the heartbreak and betrayal totally turn you off the idea of romance, once you do find somebody who is compatible, it will be worth so much more since you will have fought so damn hard for it. You don’t have much control of anything in life, but you do have the choice as to who gets to remain by your side, and whether or not you let people back into your life after you kicked them out of it for hurting you, those are always really difficult choices.
What I imagine: You’re with your friend/crush at a party and it gets super loud. You go to them and ask them to come upstairs with you. They agree and you both go up the stairs holding hands. You go into a room with LED lights around with like two bean bag chairs. You both sit down and have a long talk about who knows what. You and your friend/crush end up going silent after a little while and staring into each other’s eyes. You can feel the music from downstairs resonating through the floors and walls. You can hear it muffled yet clear. You can feel the bass of the song in your chest. You look up at them and they grab you, pulling you close. And then they end up kissing you and all that jazz. :/
I actually started crying because I always listen to this song when I’m feeling depressed and alone late at night knowing I’ll never find a lover. Edit: Omg I didn’t realize all of these amazing people commenting giving me love and support 💕💕💕 I’m so grateful for everyone! Haven’t found a lover yet but I am a happy point in my life! Love your all💓💓💗💗 Edit July 2022: lol I was so cringey and emo two years ago still don’t have a S/O WWWWW
Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain. But you can’t have a rainbow without a little bit of rain. Hang in there man. You’ll find that person one day
i remember blasting this song on my headphones one day when i was walking home and i just started crying out of nowhere everything was so bleak and i hated myself so much and even with headphones on it sounded like this to me i couldn’t focus on anything and it was so surreal because it was a relatively nice, sunny day and i was just crying on the sidewalk next to the train,,, weird
It's the small things. The small beautiful details that humans walk on by without a blink of an eye. We don't take a moment to stop, breathe, take 5 minutes and look at what's important. What are you feeling? What's going on? Seeing the massive size of the train coming down the tracks sounding it's horn as it rumbles the ground. The lampposts emitting luminescent light all in unison down the railroad track. The sound of rain as it smacks the ground forming a puddle. Even a reflection from the puddle. It's the small things that we take granted for. Like being able to see your favorite wonderful green hue of a plant. Even hearing the clicky sounds of a pen or the thump of a door closing. Anyways I was babbling on cause you reminded me of my first time taking magic mushrooms. I was very depressed during a time of my life. Decided to ingest this forbidden fungi since there was nothing I could lose from it. I didn't care for myself. Very introspective drug. Not addictive. First 30 minutes I was laughing uncontrollably. Vertical and horizontal patterns were moving in unison similar to a wave 🌊. The pictures on the wall were breathing in and out. Colors were much more vibrant. I was amazed at how my skin just glides across my knuckle as I clench it. Almost if I had jumped through a picture and landed into a different dimension. No it was. Then SZA - Love Galore comes on. Trying to hold back the tears but I could not. I could not stop crying tears of joy. As if she was right in front of me singing. I feel the pain she's going through with her words. I began to lose my ego and felt for once in my life I was my true self. Nothing at that moment or outer source was persuading my next action. Never felt so reborn, at peace ☮️ with myself, and liberated. It's not addictive. It's natural. Illegal but don't understand why it is. Please research it. I think you'd love it.
I FINALY KNOW WHY I LOVE THESE! muffled songs are great because they remind me of life. If im hearing it in another room it means someone else is listening to it, it reminds me that there is so much life in the world. That person or group of people are hanging out and vibing to a song, you can interpret it many ways, maybe they are a couple, or a party, maybe they are just one person who likes the song.
This is gonna be a mini story so I hope you all enjoy! The sound of the bathroom door closed gently behind me. I make my way to the scratched up window, the sound of girls and boys laughing echo into the bathroom before the next song started... Slow dancing in the dark. I know this one. It suits the vibe at the moment as well. The dull bathroom light shines down on me. My black suit was soaked in sweat and soon to be tears. Who knew seeing your crush and best friend could have such an effect on you? Taking a look in the mirror, I dont even remember who I am anymore. The vibrations fill my head as I close my eyes. My feet stumble before slowly going in a circle. I wrap my arms around myself and start quietly sobbing. My hands pull at the soft fabric as I continue to slowly sway to the music. I want someone to come in here.. anyone.. but of course, no one came. I was just saying here, dancing all alone in the schools bathroom. No one there to pat my back, or hug me. It's just me. It's always just me. It will always be just me. My grip tightens and I start to sing along quietly. My voice echoes on the bathroom walls and goes straight back to my ears. I hate it. I hate my voice. Its filled with pain and sorrow, how did it get this bad? When did it get this bad? Why did it get this bad? Maybe it was when they kissed. Or when he left. Or when she stared at him with that love. Fuck love. To hell with love. I dont need it. I dont want it. At least that's what I tell myself before whipping away my tears and splashing my face with water. The party awaited my arrival I guess. So as I take a step towards the door I feel my heart race, another step, my palms are getting sweaty, one final step, and I'm greeted with the smell of beer, cigarettes, sweat, and perfume..
When neither one of us wanna go home so we sit and look at the stars until 4:37am in some random field while the music from your car is playing ever so faintly but loud enough for us to hear. We forget about all our problems, and just bask in the moment. we never want this to end but we both know we have to be home soon. I never actually say the words “I love you” but you know just from my actions alone I do. you’re well aware that I start college pretty soon, and you’ll be off doing your own thing but for the time being you don’t wanna be with anyone but me. I’ll never be able to tell you with my own mouth but you mean the world to me, and if I could spend an eternity with you then I don’t want anything else... wish it could’ve turned out differently... Your love was one of a kind spring.... and don’t worry I’ll keep the bracelet with your name on it some place where I’ll never lose it...
i dont think i'll ever be in love for real. i've never had a crush on someone before. sure, i've had the rush of seeing them, but that feeling usually dies out within the first week. i think i'll just be that one person who sleeps with everyone to *feel* something but ultimately.. ends up being the loneliest out of everyone.
Bro, just don't force it. Take your time, enjoy yourself, be happy. Everything happens in due time. Even if it seems bad, just do you, make people happy because you can change someone's life with just one smile. You got it
Everyone is commenting about how their crush doesn’t like them back and I know it’s easy to think that, but I promise once you find hope it’ll get so much better
It’s weird, my whole life this has been a song of hopelessness and sadness... now it’s a song of compassionate love and, almost a sense of lust... it could just be my current situation but I’ve come to peace with this song🤷🏼♂️
For me this sounds like walking past a car w people in the car laughing & having fun & just wishing you could be with friends like that or join them for a while but you're alone & that's ok too.
This just makes me think. Shits going wrong in my life, I’ve just found out crazy shit and I’m outside this club or party sitting on the side walk smoking and crying, having mascara smudged with a bottle of whiskey or something. My best friend who’s secretly my crush comes outside sees me and sits nexts to me talking to me or giving me life advice.
Mansoor Khan stop being stupid, joji was having issues with his throat from the voice of ff and him acting ff caused him seizures and if he’d continue with the ff his seizures would get worse and possibly the reason of his death... plus the amount of pressure of composing a song and acting like FF is too much..
You step out of a party to smoke a cigarette in the cold wet night The bright full moon is beaming down on you as you think about how lonely you really are ..but suddenly Out steps a girl from the same party you were in Mascara smearing her lovely pale face Shes...beautiful Even in her times of despair You offer her a cigarette as it may seem to relieve the pain shes obviously feeling You give up your leather jacket covered in a light sweet cologne She then receives it thanking you in the process You and her talk for a minute and begin to reminisce times of happiness You feel for her... And she feels for you The night is still young
I imagine: The night sky, darker than any other day before. It's unworldly, the only thing lighting the hardwood floors is the soft moonlight peeking through the open bay window. White curtains, tenderly blowing. The stars seemingly starting to grow brighter every time I glance outside, but maybe it's the slight sleep deprivation starting to take over my body. The room is empty, only me and my shadow. In my head, a song begins to play; but why is it so hard to hear? It's almost like I can't recall what I'm listening to. My feet move, as if I were running away from the time, but I'm simply slow dancing. The pace leaving only subtle taps on the dusty floor, a place where our memories haunt me. I dreamed so many times about slow dancing under the big glowing moon, my poems made it sound so lovely. As if everything would stop for us. Now, it's just a lonesome memory. Everywhere I look, I see things I never knew I had. It's as if I'm stuck in a car on a dreary highway, my lids closing while the wheel slips. I said, I was alone with my shadow, but I guess, the phantasm of _you_ , is here too. - *me.* _I'm sorry that I wrote about you in my poems so many times just to try and hold onto the fleeting thoughts._
i’m in love with my friend and this song... right now, i just feel like even for a moment, we can be together. and maybe it won’t happen. but it’s a feeling. and i really like that feeling.
This makes me think of my love, and the sadistic dance we play with one another. Close enough to touch, but never near enough to hold. Shall we spend this life running from one another, barely brushing into one another from time to time, with the look of maddening love in one another’s eyes, or shall our lips meet and let out the anguish of our hearts and be one. You were 30 and I was 14 when we fell for one another. It was wrong. I know! But you were truly worth it!! You were my first love. And... although my life has changed in gargantuan ways, and our time together felt like a lifetime ago, I have moments where I’m the blink of an eye... IM THERE WITH YOU! On that dance floor in high school. Looking so deeply into your beautiful eyes. So scared... So innocent... So ready to give all of myself for you.
"Its raining, you're walking down the street and you see your crush standing in the doorway of a party kissing another guy with Slow dancing in the dark is playing"
Nah this sounds like the neighbors who actually love eachother getting their groove on with this song and you’re just in the other house listening it through the wall just staring at the ceiling like 😐😐😐😐 “must be nice”
this feels like when you meet someone you connect with on an other worldly way and you slowly grow apart from them and whilst they are happy you feel like a piece of your soul has been taken and shattered
This is exactly what this song sounds like in the midst of a mental breakdown. I feel like I’m experiencing my heartache from that moment all over again listening to this, it’s surreal how accurate it is
me and my girlfriend always used to chill and jus vibe to this type of music man and to hear it knowing I’ll never get her back breaks my heart.. truly does 💔.., girl was everything I ever wanted she was so perfect . I wish things can go back to how they used to be.
Funny enough is that the truth is, we are all sad ppl who had something done to us to make this song feel like its ripping us apart. Welcome to the comments section stranger :)
I imagine most songs would fade to our periphery like this. That light air in the tight space between the two of you is a bubble that nulls everything around you.
This reminds me of when we went through our break up. I sat on the porch taking a break from packing with the sliding glass door open and chain smoking while this played quietly from the room. Last year wasn't our best year, this one looked better until the world started falling apart around us. Stay well and stay loved friends:)
