is this love by whitesnake : IXTP (unsure of own feelings and reaches to the conclusion that he is in love by logic this would also apply to EXTJs reason because all these types share having ethics functions at the bottom)
is this love that i’m feeling
is this the love that i’ve been searching for
is this love or am i dreaming
this must be love
cause it’s really got a hold on me
november rain by guns n’ roses : ESTP (brutally logical and spitting facts. could also apply to entp)
nothin’ lasts forever
and we both know hearts can change
and it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold november rain
(…)
love is always coming, love is always going
no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
walking away
when a man loves a woman by michael bolton: ESFJ (simppppppppppp)
when a man loves a woman
spend his very last dime
and trying to hold on to what he needs
he’d give up all his comforts
and sleep out in the rain
if she said that’s the way, it ought to be
I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That) by meat loaf: ENFP (ne dom, fi creative (especially for the twist at the end)
Will you raise me up? Will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
Can you make it all a little less cold?
I can do that
I can do that
Will you hold me sacred? Will you hold me tight?
Can you colourise my life, I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
I can do that
Oh I can do that
Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
I can do that
I can do that
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known?
I can do that
Oh, I can do that
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
No, I won't do that
I won't do that
where the wild roses grow by nick cave & the bad seeds ft. kylie minogue: IxTJ (who the fuck else can even imagine to write a song like this? dark and "fe blindspot" for sure.)
on the third day he took me to the river
he showed me the roses and we kissed
and the last thing I heard was a muttered word
as he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
on the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
and she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
and i kissed her goodbye, said, “all beauty must die”
and i lent down and planted a rose ‘tween her teeth
winds of change by scorpions: INFJ (obviously, this song is about times changing (ni) and people (fe))
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
Can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
tallulah by sonata artica: ixfj (this one particularly fe creative. the fe usage here is very effective because fe creative is supported by fi demonstrative)
Remember when we used to look how sun set far away,
And how you said "this is never over",
I believed your every word and I quess you did too,
But now you're saying "hey, let's think this over".
You take my hand and pull me next to you, so close to you,
I have a feeling you don't have the words,
I found one for you, kiss your cheak, say bye, and walk away
Don't look back cause I am crying.
I remember little things, you hardly ever do,
Tell me why, I don't know why it's over,
I remember shooting stars, the walk we took that night,
I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me.
You let my hand go and you fake a smile for me,
I have a feeling you don't know what to do,
I look deep in your eyes, hesitate a while,
Why are you crying.

i don’t want to miss a thing by aerosmith: esfp (being “se” in the moment and enjoying that special, specific feeling towards a person obsessively)
don’t want to close my eyes
i don’t want to fall asleep
'dause i’d miss you baby
and i don’t want to miss a thing
'cause even when i dream of you
the sweetest dream will never do
i’d still miss you baby
and i don’t want to miss a thing
bed of roses by bon jovi: ENFJ (theatrical and dramatic and over the top romantic) i’ll just close my eyes and whisper
“baby, blind love is true”
i want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight i’ll sleep on a bed of nails
oh I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down on a bed of roses
painted on my heart by the cult : ISFP!!! (fi deep and se sensory)
I've still got your face
Painted on my heard
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby
And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby
just like heaven by the cure: INFP but also ENFP (ne playful, fi emotionally involved and alive)
"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick?
The one that makes me scream." she said
"The one that makes me laugh." she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it,
And I promise you,
I promise that
I'll run away with you,
I'll run away with you."

Austin’s AIWASS Resurrect Scottish Folk Song ‘Cruel Brother’ in New Single
~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~
By Billy Goate
Artwork by gozien_crayon
It has been estimated that some four million new songs are being released into the world of sound every year. Certainly, it's been hard -- neigh, impossible -- to keep up with all the new albums churned out just in the doom scene. As a consequence, it is all too easy to loose touch with the great songs of the past. I'm not talking about songs from the '70s, '80s or '90s, but those written generations and generations ago, stretching back into Medieval and Renaissance times.
That's why it's so refreshing to encounter a band taking on an old Scottish ballad like the one before us. Taking a cue from Battlefield Band, the traditional folk group who brought "Cruel Brother" to a wider audience decades ago, Austin, Texas band AIWASS gives this tragic tale a unique twist.
Dark, moody synthesizer surrounds the senses as the track begins, as if to transport us hundreds of years into the past to a scene unthinkable: a dying bride, a spiteful brother, a grieving knight, and an atmosphere teeming with sadness and revenge. Gently plucked mandolin strings cross with acoustic guitar. Misty, forlorn vocals tell the tale of love found and lost, eventually engaging the full powers of the doom metal quartet, complete with foreboding drums and bluesy, bittersweet guitar riffs.
Frontman Blake Carrera comments:
The themes of the song, despite being an old Scottish ballad, are quite familiar to listeners of doom and metal in general: love, lust, violence, and loss. By reinterpreting this song, we hope to bring the past into the future. The screams at the end of the song are not just an identification that this is “blackened doom”; they are also the screams of loss and sadness that are perpetuated throughout time by all of us.
Aiwass caught my ear during the pandemic, when we premiered and gave a detailed review of their first LP Wayward Gods. Since then, the band has expanded with founding member Blake Carrera (vox, guitar, mandolin, synth) joined by Eddy Keyes (vox, acoustic guitar, bass), Pablo Anton (guitar), and Grant Husselman (drums). As a result, the Aiwass sound has evolved into something wonderfully nuanced and altogether powerful.
"Cruel Brother" will be issued as a standalone single on Friday, March 28th (get it here). Fans of Green Lung, take notice
Give ear...

There were three ladies played at baw
