The Sadmoose Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I want to listen to more asexual songs, but it's so hard to find any. I found a few Spotify playlists labeled 'Asexual' but they weren't really that great, so I thought who better to ask then other ace folk! Some good ones that I've found are; For me~Dearlie We don't have to take our clothes off~Ella Eyre Talk me down~Troye Sivan Buy me diamonds~Bea Miller Somebody else~The 1975 (Arguably)Bad at love~Halsey I only found one other topic about this which was last updated in 2008, so I thought it'd be nice to bring it back. Hopefully we can all make a cool ace pride playlist as the suggestions come in Link to post Share on other sites

Mezzaluna Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It's not necessarily an ace song, but as a romantic ace, I can kind of relate to it: "Broken" by Lovelytheband Link to post Share on other sites
Lunala Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 95% of the songs on the radios these days are about sex, parties or boys/girls/whatever. Boring. Hope these ace songs spice things up! Link to post Share on other sites
Iam9man Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Not intended to be an ace song, but large parts of it sound like it is: Solo by Clean Bandit & Demi Lovato Link to post Share on other sites
Lunala Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 "Me Myself and I" by G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha sounds like a very ace/aro song, especially the chorus sung by Bebe Rexha. This is the chorus: Oh, it's just me, myself and I Solo ride until I die 'Cause I got me for life (Got me for life, yeah) Oh I don't need a hand to hold Even when the night is cold I got that fire in my soul I don't need anything to get me through the night Except the beat that's in my heart Yeah, it's keeping me alive (Keeps me alive) I don't need anything to make me satisfied (You know) 'Cause the music fills me good and it gets me every time Link to post Share on other sites
QueenOfTheRats Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 "I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does." Morrissey is asexual. Link to post Share on other sites
Pumpkins_and_penguins Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I really like Nothing more by the alternate roots as a song about love that doesn't have to be sexual Link to post Share on other sites
naakka Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The song "Hiljaisuus" ("Silence") by artist Irina! I think it's actually about allosexual relationship with lost passion or having trust issues... Anyhow, I think especially the chorus sounds pretty ace The translation: I hear steps in the hallway, You throw yourself next to me, making space to yourself. You don't say a word, You just stare my neck, While I'm pretending to be asleep. Too often I miss the moments, When I could fall asleep and wake up alone, I wouldn't have to be anxious, And make sense of my inner world, While I don't have a clue about it... even myself. Hmm... Chorus: I know, it's difficult for you to understand, I want you close to me but I don't want you to touch me. And oh, if that only was enough for you too, So that this thing could keep going so much easier. For me, this deep silence, Is better than yet another poor new lie. I can't speak frankly, I can't say "yeah, I'm still anxious". As we would keep mulling that over and over again. And yeah, Chorus: I know, it's difficult for you to understand, I want you close to me but I don't want you to touch me. And oh, if that only was enough for you too, So that this thing could keep going so much easier. Ooh, yeah... Well, this isn't easy for me either. I just can't tell, What bothers me. Yeah... and I know, that you can't keep going like this for much longer. This silence might kill us. Mmm... this silence might kill us... Link to post Share on other sites

chairdesklamp Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 @The Sadmoose Is "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" anything like this one? I love this song. You don't really hear it anymore, but I remember randomly it came on the radio last year as I was seeing if I could just walk to the Goodwill Last Chance on a day off. (The answer was "no" and "ow.") and I'm just smiling from ear-to-ear, singing along with my headphones at the top of my lungs, looking like a crazy person, but it's not like I cared. Sadly, I lost my tape of it decades ago, and it's not exactly one of the more common ones at used record stores (I could get a CD, but I've had very bad experiences with their fragility) @naakka Unfortunately that video is blocked in some countries (licensing. I own tapes where I can't listen to the songs on YouTube for the same reason, e.g. "Thank You Everyday" by Kisugi Takao) Link to post Share on other sites
naakka Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 @chairdesklamp oh, that didn't come to my mind ^^' well, if you search "Irina hiljaisuus" on youtube, there's several videos for the same song, also covers, so maybe some of those work? I mean, if people are that interested Link to post Share on other sites

You know, in places, it reminded me a bit of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down." Very Heartland Rock-y in the beginning. Where's that from? Link to post Share on other sites

chairdesklamp Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 @naakka Yeah, Finnish is a language I definitely don't speak, despite having had people assume speaking three languages means I just speak everything, haha. Yay, thank you! I now know a Finnish artist (I don't need to know a single word in a language to enjoy music in it. I love the band Elan--actually thought they were singing in Czech until last year when someone told me it was in Slovak) Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy to help you find one ^^ indeed you can enjoy music, the atmosphere, without knowing a word! Sometimes it's even a disappointment when you finally check out the lyrics it's also nice to get familiar with unfamiliar languages by music. Finnish pop is worth checking out if you prefer melancholic pop with occasional maniac exceptations... or metal... a lots of metal ;D Link to post Share on other sites

i aced it Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Ever heard of Cavetown? The guy who writes the songs is actually aro ace himself. Not all of the songs are directly about being ace, but I think it's pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

Lunala Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Today I found a song called "Good Thing" by Zedd and Kehlani. Some of the lyrics are VERY ace/aro, including: "I've always been told, one day I'll findSomebody who changes my mindIf they come along, I won't think twice" and "I'm not always selfish, just bad at romance, it's not in my bones" The singer is also queer + pansexual (according to wikipedia), so even though she's not ace or aro it's still cool to know she is LGBT!

naakka Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 My favourite ace songs are the one's that have absolutely nothing to do with relationships. Like, ones that sing about dealing with life, how to find your way, how hardships make you stronger, how to appreciate the little great things in life etc. Lately I've been listening to "Free" by Elliott Yamin. A really uplifting and empowering song, and his voice fits so well for it! It's also super easy to relate to the song as if it was sung for aces Link to post Share on other sites
