Looking for movies that feel emotional, quiet, and a little melancholic without being completely depressing. I really like movies where the atmosphere and conversations stick with you after watching. Doesn't have to be romance only, just something with that late-night lonely vibe.
Basically, I'm hooked on music with that 90s trip-hop vibe, with distorted guitars and electronic sounds. Like a mix of alternative rock and electronica? Female vocals and dark introspective lyrics. I don't know many recent songs in that style. I'm open to suggestions for songs in that vibe.
preferably something that has more then 3-4 seasons I hated how abruptly raising hope ended, that's why I don't wanna start my name is earl because I heard it dies on a cliff hanger on season 4.
unsure of how to describe it, but i think the best i can do is just that nostalgic, introspective feeling the beats of those two songs have. i dont really know of anything else like them to give examples unfortunately, however i'm mainly looking for things from late 90s to late 2000s as thats the era i associare with the sound of these two mainly.
Looking for movies that feel calm, emotional, and a little lonely in a good way. The kind where not much "big" happens but you still get attached to the characters and atmosphere. Could be romance, drama, or even coming-of-age.
Hey all! I used to love Jeepers Creepers a lot, but can't stomach rewatching it because of Victor Salva's criminal history.
I want something to fill the void, but despite having watched a lot of horror, Jeepers filled a very particular niche that nothing else seems to, so I need suggestions!
What I like about the movie in broader strokes,
Stuff I really don't want,
Out of what I've seen and can think of, Pumpkinhead gets pretty close. It strays close to slasher territory, but toes the line. It has a lone monster, the leads are split between Ed Harley and the Teens enough that it doesn't feel like a teen slasher. It's got a slow burn, with an ending that doesn't go well for everyone but isn't grim and miserable, there's a little light there.
The Last Voyage of the Dementer was also very close. I enjoyed that a lot, and naturally it felt like the modern evolution of the classic Universal movies. Probably the closest I've felt in terms of vibes. Howl (2015) hit some vibes of the 2nd movie, had a slasher bodycount without the slasher tropes.
Naturally, Alien is the cream of the crop for slow burn but exciting creature features, but it's Alien. I've seen it a trillion times, and will forever love it!
I've seen a lot of horror that's well known, so I may be asking for some deeper cuts here, but I won't turn my nose up at anything even if you think I might've seen it! I'm no snob either, so don't feel like you have to suggest only the stuff the critics dig.
Thank you in advance <3
Starting to get into Tom Waits, so far I really like Rain Dogs, Underground, and Big In Japan. I'm looking for more music with that kind of grimey gravely vibe. The only thing I've found besides Tom Waits is specifically I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen. Stuff off of Violent Femmes' Hallowed Ground is similar (and amazing, I adore VF) but the vocals are too off to fit exactly. Would love some recommendations!
Edit to add that vocals don't have to be specifically deep and gravely, but definitely unique and kind of slimey (if that makes any sense)
...and I want to find this type of music but a bit more "modern" or what have you, then what would you recommend?
There’s a certain itch that’s scratched by a certain type of song, and every search engine or AI bot fails me when I’m looking for similar recommendations. I think it falls into how a tight drum beat is syncopated with a really catchy, also tight melody with another instrument over top. Some examples:
- I Wish by Stevie Wonder
- Superstition by Stevie Wonder
- Always on the Run by Lenny Kravitz
- Nothing from Nothing by Billy Preston
- Will It Go Round In Circles by Billy Preston
- Brick House by The Commodores
- Shining Star (especially the chorus) by Earth, Wind and Fire
Thanks for any and all reccos!
Sometimes I have a hard time embracing change. Listening to songs about change makes it a bit easier to accept as part of life.
Wind Of Change by Scorpions always makes me tear up a little, but it doesn't have to be a similar genre, I like many. Thanks for any help!:)
I’m not usually into older music but I Shazamed this song at a skate shop and I’ve found myself addicted, listening to it over and over. I have no clue about the genre but would love some recs that sound similar. Thx
The moods of music and visual art often meet in fascinating ways. Many deep, psychedelic grooves carry a certain magical texture that warps a familiar rhythm into something otherworldly.
For me, listening to Sade feels exactly like stepping into a candlelit, glowing painting by Petrus van Schendel. Which album or artist do you think best captures this perfect nocturnal and mystical atmosphere?
Looking for movies that feel quiet, emotional, and kinda dreamy. I really liked the atmosphere in Lost in Translation and Chungking Express.
Doesn't have to be romance only, just something with that lonely late-night feeling and memorable visuals/music.
I am unable to find any song like this. I love how it feels like he is giving advice directly to me. It feels warm and fatherly. If anyone knows songs like this (from him or another artist) I would gladly appreciate it. I’m mostly looking for some songs that will help me get through a breakup, so if you have any that helped you I would love those as well :).

Thanks, in advance.
There's a lot I like about this movie. It's a very wholesome and inspiring story of adventure, life, responsibility, family, etc. I was hoping for a game that captured some aspect of this.
Looking for media to explore themes of:
The rest of Heejins entire discography is classic kpop songs with this single being the only exception. I’ve tries using spotalike.com and the only thing it recommended me was cheerful kpop songs that were already in my algorithm.
Looking to expand a collection of songs for a very specific moment. You know the one: lying on the bed, eyes on the ceiling, body in the room but mind somewhere else entirely. That suspended feeling where the real world fades and something more imaginary takes over.
Other tracks that hit that exact mark for me:
Not looking for any specific genre. The list above already jumps from indie rock to electronic to prog rock. Ambient, classical, post-rock, slow jazz, anything works as long as it has that floating-away quality.
What would you add?
Preferably video games or movies as I don't really read or watch shows.
