VIRGOMOON'S BLACK MUSIC COLLECTION: a series of playlists where i collect black artists from various genres to showcase the talent of my community; particularly that outside of typical genres you see us in.

black people created rock btw: my magnum opus. as the title suggests, here is rock music made by black people or bands that feature at least one black musician, particularly the lead singer and/or songwriter. classic rock, pop punk, hardcore, punk rock, goth, and more. this includes rap rock remixes and rock inspired rap tracks. songs range anywhere from the 60s to now.

a southern gothic tale: this playlist is just like the above, except featuring black artists who make primarily country music. there's bluegrass, folk, blues, and the like here. including covers and crossover songs. again, older music as well as newer tracks are featured here.

black alternative: black music that isn't just generic "pop", "rap", or "rnb". nothing wrong with those genres, of course, but obviously, we make all kinds of music and deserve to be recognized there too. here you'll find hyper-pop, bedroom pop, indie pop, dark pop; all those trendy sub - genres.

juicy fruit, certified bubble yum: bonus points if you know the song the title is from. anyway, here's bubblegum pop by black artists because for some reason black pop girls get labeled as "urban" and "rnb" when they're not? not necessarily? music from the 80s and on.

black girl punk!: punk and punk adjacent music from alternative black women in music. including fem presenting artists.

we've always been here: a new addition to the collection! this is every song from the various playlists collected into one major playlist. the only missing one is juicy fruit, as i wanted to showcase more unknown / underground artists and/or the songs from known artists that are a little more obscure because they're showcasing alternative genres than what we're used to from them. for example, don't hurt yourself from beyonce. a blues rock song from a known pop artist. still adding music to it as of april 2025.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

because I’m losing my mind over this blorbo and my playlist post isn’t good enough

The Caycay songs and the lyric that got them put on the list:

Achilles Come Down: “Redemption lies plainly in truth” ”Engage with the pain as a motive” (OUGH) ”Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping, there is no me without you” (Nott and Caleb…your codependency is everything to me 🥺) Ashes - The Longest Johns Honestly the whole thing babe “I’ll tend to the flames, you can worship the ashes” “Try to hold onto the time as it passes”

Atonement - John Charles Dwyer ”The grave is hungry; atonement splits its mouth with just one name upon its lips” (on god this can also be Mollymauk) Beneath the Brine - The Family Crest Just the fact that it’s got water in it, it’s a fjord song and when they say cold as ice that’s fjords armor I guess Any song with water is a fjord reference

A Tear in Space - Glass Animals Every time he goes “wataaaaah” bc. Fjord. And also it mentions being scared so it’s automatically a…what do you call them. Fjaleb? Fjordogast? Cjord? Whatever. They.

Bird Song - Juniper Vale I’ll be honest this is actually vaxleth and also kiri but the whole Something I Am Caged Behins…Caleb’s got anxiety so go with it Also the whole sparrow heart thing like I can’t explain it but that’s 100% also anxiety and trauma

Broken Crown - Mumford and Songs ”I’ll never be your chosen one” “But oh, my heart was flawed” Call the Nightengale - Juniper Vale The whole thing but especially “There is heartache on your lips, and your heart’s a foreign house”

The Cave - Mumford and Sons ”It’s empty in the valley of your heart” ”I will find strength in pain and I will change my ways, I’ll know my name” AGGGGHHHHHB ”now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind” “I will not hear what you have to say ‘cause I need freedom now”

The Chain - Fleetwood Mack I’ll be honest I just think “damn your love, damn your lies” goes hard for the whole Trent thing and “if you don’t love me now, you will never love me again” goes hard for the whole telling other people the backstory thing

Could Have Been Me - The Struts The entire thing is an a Trent haters breakup song with the whole “I can’t hear you, I won’t fear you” ”Don’t wanna wake up on a Monday morning, the thought of work is getting my skin crawling” bUUUUUT HE’LL GO TO WORK IF HE NEEDS TO 😇 The wanna feel pride and shame thing is also very on brand anyway

Dog Days are Over - Florence and Machine rUN FAST FOR YA MOTHER RUN FAST FOR YA FATHER “Leave all your love and your longing behind, can’t carry it with you if you want to survive” 🥲 thank u cemetery-husband I love it

Dreams - Fleetwood Mack ”here you go again saying you want your freedom” “The stillness of remembering what you and and what you lost and what you had” ”When the rain washes you clean you’ll know” Also honorary Yasha bc storms thunder etc and women they will come and they will go aND SHE DOES

Everything is Awful - The Decemberists The. The title.

Everything is Color - Juniper Vale “All this time I’ve been okay staying here on this solid ground” coincidentally this is also the lyric I always heard as “fuck this town” Fire - Barns Courtney Girlypop it’s the title SOLD MY SOUL TO THE CALLIN “Callin’ my name lost in the fire” “my mother told me, son let it be” GiMME THAT FIYAAH

Fractions - Juniper Vale “I’m growing to know time as it goes” “Break me with the truth take all my fractions shaping something new out of the fragments”

Glitter and Gold - Barns Courtney ”do you walk in the shadow of men who sold their lives to a dream” OUGGGHHHH “I’ve got fire in my soul rise up✨ting ting✨ like glitter ✨ and gold 😤” ”do you ponder the manner of things in the dark”

Goodbye - Apparat ”find out I was just a bad dream”

Hearts on Fire - the family crest “feel the shame, feel the weight of a love of a love not strong enough” “Oh sweet desire when your mind when your mind when your mind’s not strong enough” ”It’s not that the beat it’s just that your heart is on FIYAHHHHH”

Hell’s Coming With Me - Poor Man’s Poison Idk I just have this hope that Caleb’s gonna turn up and wreck Trent so bad. Nott has a gun. Hand it to Caleb and let that boy roll a nat twenty babie

The Horror and the Wild - The Amazing Devil the whole thing “You were raised by wolves and voices” “How bold I was, could be, will be, still am, by god still am” This is the wreck Trent’s shit anthem go get him babe I’ve got your flower

Icarus - Bastille Listen it’s on here because I misheard “this is how it feels to take control” and it became the overcoming Trent’s bullshit through the power of friendship anthem but also “yOUR HAAANDS PROTEXT THE FLAMES FROMTHE WIIILD WINDS AROOOUND YOU”

In the Woods Somwhere - Hozier The whole damn thing 🥲 ”I called your name til the fever broke” “I prayed my mind be good to me”

I Will Never Die - Delta Rae On god this is just my Caleb as a ghost song but also works for vax (“spread my spirit like a flock of crows) And Molly/Caleb “oLD HEAT OF A RAGING FIRE CONE AND LIGHT MY EYES SUMMER’S KISS THROUGH (a copper) ELECTRIC WIRE” GRRRRRRR “When they come for me when they call my name cAST MY SHADOW LIKE A BELLOW’S FLAME” I am GNAWINF THE CURTAINS

I wish I could stop completely hating myself - ok tyler The. The title babe I mean literally the whole song

Jericho - Iniko This one actually doesn’t have a reason to be on here but I like the sound of the “I’m a luminaire now makin moves startin waves” ”I don’t need gravity I just need rope (I misheard as hope) “I’m your future past and present I’m a fine line”

King - The Amazing Devil Actually this is more Fjord bc “I’ll keep him from drowning as our boat is untethered from the dark” sick af

Mostly - Juniper Vale “I’m mostly scared I’m mostly unprepared I’m a mess” Fjord gets the “I lost myself as the waves come crashing down I’m a wreck”

Nightfire - Juniper Vale I associate this with a very specific seeing eye/hearing ear Frumpkin au that I have not written but also it works in general ”be MY NIGHTFIRE WHILE I CLOSE MY EYES”

No Light, No Light - Florence and the Machine ”nO LIGHT NO LIGHT IN YOUR BRIGHT BLUE EYES” Another Trent breakup song tbh but also works for most Caycay shipping but also “You can’t choose what stays and what fades away and I’d do anything to make you stay” OUUUGGGH CLAWINF THE WALLS ”heaven help me I need to make this right”

Panoramic View - Awolnation ”somewhere out there still I believe in magic” ”let the monsters (fire) loose I believe in magic” ”LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME I BELIEVE IN MAGIC” shut up shut up someone pLEASE lay their hands on him in any context i dont care it would heal him so much “I’ll right my wrongs in panoramic view”

Power - Isak Danielson The whole thing is aNOTHER TRENT BREAKUP SONG “Can we say that we love each other? Can we play like there ain’t no other?” tHE OTHER STUDENTS HE HAD A TOXIC TRAUMABONDED CODEPENDENT RELATIONSHIP WITH On god the whole thing is just. Mwah.

Rule #1 Magic - Fish in a Birdcage This is just Caleb I’ll-advisedly trying to romance the squad for morale which is hilarious and kind of squicky but also just really funny ”I believe in all of you I believe that we can make this into love” GRRRRRR he’s so stupid

Drunk on Pride - The Family Crest Fjord bc it mentions sailing and water and stuff “Captain of his ship has nothing but time to watch his dream die”

Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage This is Frumpkin lmao “I’m counting on you to be my wings and my eyes” like how is that not Wings and feathers tails and fin tips

Rule # 9 Child of the Stars - Fish in a Birdcage “I remember, your eyes were clear, brighter than the sun.” “You learned to fall and balance on your own two feet”

Sail - Awolnation Requisite Fjord disclaimer but for Caleb ”BLAME IT ON MY (PTSD)” “Maybe I should cry for help/maybe I should kill myself” ”this is how I show my love” by HANDING YOU A CAT

Sinners - Barns Courtney This can be a Molly song in fact this can also be a Molly/caleb song, Molly can pin Caleb to a wall to this song “I must be good for something” Soldier Poet King - The Oh Hellos Idc this is what jester and Caleb waltzed too although I don’t know if you can waltz to this song, they did though I know in my heart

Thistle and Weeds - Mumford and Sons “I know you have felt much more love than you’ve shown” Nott said this to him

Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional Not to be funny but “ the shine of it has caught my eye” is literally just Caleb when he detects magic ”I am wrong I am right I swear I’m right” Caycay when Beau is putting him on trial without a lawyer “I am flawed but I am cleaning up so well”

Wander, Wonder - The Arcadian Wild Idk I just feel like the line “facedown in the carpet, I feel safe” is very on brand for Caleb, I trust it This could also be a Nott song I think given how she hates being a goblin “Sins and scars you’ll never recognize bc i am the master of maintaining my disguise” I mean they both suck at it but let me have this

Wolves of the Revolution - The Arcadian Wild ”there was blood in the air, I was on all fours screaming that life isn’t fair” look me in the eyes and tell me this isn’t Caleb after murdering his parents ”you’re trapped inside of your own heart”

this is a mile long but the Caycay list gets longer every damn day and I have so many fic titles from it oh god

some autistic people will never be able to have a job or live alone, some women that are transvestigated in bathrooms will have a penis, sometimes a trans women will win a sport she is "naturally" gifted in such as being really tall and playing basketball and sometimes the homeless guy panhandling really will just spend that money on cigarettes and scratchers instead of food. they are still human beings that dont deserve to be tormented by the legal system and paranoid freaks
