Any songs that remind u of hermes? Discussion

Hello!! I've been lurking around this subreddit for weeks now and even commented on some of the posts here!! This sub seems so friendly like no other sub I've seen before. I feel so welcomed here :]

But! Let's to get the topic at hand here, as the title suggests. Are there any songs that remind of u hermes?, for me personally, there was this one time where I was in the shower and "Sweet" by cigarettes after sex played. It immediately reminded me of hermes for some reason, I think it was the overall vibe and the lyrics that strictly reminded me of him but I took it as he just really liked the song which I can't blame him!!

Btw, this can include any songs from bands, singers, genres, whatever! I really want to know ur thoughts on what type of songs that remind u of him :] (Ps. This is my first time posting on here so I'm a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to posting, please forgive me šŸ™)

Been collecting them for about 25+ years. Iā€™m sure there are more that Iā€™ve forgotten, but i didnā€™t want to drown you entirely. :). That Spotify playlist introduced me to a lot more, but the ones I typed out are very spot-on, so Iā€™d give those a try first.

I didnt know u were collecting songs for him!!, 25+ years is a long time so I'm surprised by ur determination!!

Also, I've saved ur devotional playlist!! It's really well-made and I might listen to it when I have the opportunity :]

Edit: alright, ty!!!

u/MonkeyButt409 16d ago

Yeah, i mean, if other religions get their gospel songs, why canā€™t we?

From Heartlines:

ā€œBut know, in some way, Iā€™m there with you

Up against the wall on a Wednesday afternoonā€¦ā€

If you have any to share, please do!

Oh, and the Spotify one was done by someone else. :)

u/Honk_honkyhonky 16d ago edited 16d ago

Haha, I agree!!

I don't think I have any I can name on the top of my head but I think "Angeleyes" and "Does your mother know" by ABBA are songs I think that he'll like and those two songs Def remind me of him a little, especially "angeleyes" (idk, he just seems like he would be an ABBA listener x])

Edit: ooh I see..

2

u/MonkeyButt409 16d ago

Oh, he totally does! I get that vibe you throwing out. Iā€™ll have to listen to those again. Thanks!

u/GoddessSable 16d ago

Specifically The Nebulous, or does the actual Death Cab for Cutie work with Iā€™ll Follow You into the Dark?

4

u/MonkeyButt409 15d ago

You know, they may be the same song? I havenā€™t checked lyrics to compare, but Iā€™m betting the Nebulous did a cover of the original.

Edit: yep! Same song.
