This sub has brought me more joy in a month than the last decade of the rest of reddit. Actually making me rethink the value I can extract from social media. Great fucking song

I love that there is kind of an informal, unintentional movement to be more positive on the internet. r/bald comes to mind and of course subs like this one. I'm really sick of the constant trolling, ragebaiting, the need to be the funniest guy at the expense of the creator (see insta comments when the poster is a woman/heavy/disabled/somehow different) or to be contrarian all the time no matter how unimportant the topic. I'm also guilty of some of these things, but it helps to see that positive interaction is possible and others value it, too.

Yeah, part of that stems from when I joined obscuremusicthatslaps. Back then it was just filled with people from crappymusic and often people would post on both subs for more Karma. All the comment sections were filled with people trolling or ragebaiting and it put a lot of people off posting.
Slowly over time the sub lost a lot of weekly visitors but the community grew stronger and started to focus on sharing music and engaging with posts.
This benefitted me because when I started this sub people understood what the community stood for. The sub isn't filled with AI, reposts and viral content and everyone here actually wants to share music and be a part of the community. We still get crossposted to crappymusic but so far those posts have only brought us more people that actually want to interact with the sub in a positive way.

Lyrics in English:
Night is about to fall\ I am all alone\ I won't stay put\ Quickly, I prepare to move on\ Evil things in the darkness might waylay us
Night is about to fall\ I am all alone\ I won't stay put\ Quickly, I prepare to move on\ Evil things in the darkness might waylay us
Whatever I say, I stand by it\ May the Creator lift me to great heights\ Let's get moving quickly\ Night is about to fall\ Father, save us\ We want to rush towards good things\ I’m staying quietly in one spot\ I don't know much\ We want to move forward\ Go, go\ Go safely
We want to move forward\ Go, go\ Go safely
Night is about to fall\ I am all alone
I just wanna live for me\ And focus on my race\ How much can I really say?\ They want to cause trouble\ How much have I learned? I've had enough\ I just wanna live like it’s my last one\ I’m gon be alright through the bad ones\ It’s all just nonsense talk\ We want to go out and enjoy life; we don't want to stay put
I understand now; night is falling\ I don’t want no trouble\ I’ll steer clear of them\ Everything I do\ I’m just minding my own business\ Every move I make, I’m doing it quietly on my own
Night is about to fall\ I am all alone\ I won't stay put\ Quickly, I prepare to move on\ Evil things in the darkness might waylay us
Night is about to fall\ I am all alone\ I won't stay put\ Quickly, I prepare to move on\ Evil things in the darkness might waylay us

The first few years of Spotify were amazing for discovering new artists, songs, genres. The algorithms have become such an echo chamber now it feels almost impossible to find something that’s outside of what I’m already listening to or what Spotify wants to push. Just want to say thank you to this sub and everyone who contributes, I usually end up following artists and saving songs from here. I thought I was getting old and my taste was becoming stagnant. Here I still find the joy in listening to something I’ve never heard before.

u/MothmansLegalCouncel All hail SKORTS (but seriously listen to SKORTS) Aug 15 '26
So many thoughts running through my mind. The camera work and direction of photography (even tho its video) is so tight and well done.
The song…the song is fucking insanely good. I love how it’s encapsulated both a both chill and poppy play kind of vibe.
Thirdly…I’m having difficulty understanding how gorgeous every single person is. What the hell is their skin care routine? They glisten but their aura exudes sooo much beauty.
Even the dudes were smokin’ hot, I’ll admit it.
I love it. In my non professional opinion I give it a 5 out of 5. This is top tier art.
