What's your favorite song right now?

My last post here is from 2022, and since my Naruto binge is over (I don't plan on ever watching Boruto to be honest), I thought I'd share what my favorite song is right now.

It's a tough choice because there's a lot of songs that have been in anime in the past year+ that I've really enjoyed (Spy x Family, MHA, Demon Slayer, Mob Psycho 100, etc. to name a few), but my favorite current song is probably one that just recently released from a video game, Honkai: Star Rail. It perfectly encapsulates how I feel about things after the Texas Rangers managed to win the 2023 World Series in baseball despite being down 3-2 to the Astros in the ALCS.

I didn't look at the stat at the time, but in best-of-seven series in the MLB the game 5 winner after a tie goes on to win the series 71% of the time. That means the Rangers had just a 29% chance to pull it off, and they did. My mom would have been very proud of them at the time. 💚

 
I have two (or three?) favorite songs at the moment! The first one is "Celestial" by Ed Sheeran. It plays during the end credits of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet (my favorite Pokémon game) and the lyrics are uplifting, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.
The Toby Fox remix is great too. It sounds very nostalgic...

The most recent one is "Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica. @/ZeldaCrossing64 introduced me to the song and when I gave it a listen I noticed that the lyrics resonated with me! I think I have a rebellious side...
 
This song has been stuck on my mind for about a month now. Mainly because it pops up from time to time on the radio.

I like to listen to this song when I’m feeling a bit blue and alone. I find it to be oddly comforting.
 
I honestly can't tell you how many times I've been listening to this song on repeat the past couple of days... Too much.

HECK YEAH!!!! HOLY WAAAARS!!!!!!

With that out of the way, I found myself listening to songs from the so-called "Black Album" over and over recently, and this one has grown on me.
It has lyrics that remind me of independence like with "Wherever I May Roam", and the way they implemented the acoustic guitar is beautiful. T_T It just feels so sentimental to me...

Outside of metal, this is my favorite instrumental at the moment! It's "Takamatsu" by nobonoko (0:57 - 5:12). It sounds very playful :D

My all-time favorites will always be "Celestial" and the aforementioned "Wherever I May Roam", of course. These are just some new songs I've grown a liking to lately!

Reminder to myself: I am NOT a metalhead. I just enjoy good music.
 
For me it would be the Future is A Foreign Land by Ghost. Been listening to it at least once everyday since June 22nd. And singing it too !
