Nearly Lost YouScreaming Trees
Screaming Trees, an American band that forged their own path with a psychedelic sense of drift and a hard-edged sound.
Their signature song portrays a precarious, near-collapse state of mind—like a hallucination born of an LSD experience, or like speaking to your own reflection in the mirror.
Mark Lanegan’s uniquely deep, husky voice becomes a desperate cry—“I almost lost myself”—that powerfully shakes the listener to the core.
Released in August 1992 and featured on the album Sweet Oblivion as well as the soundtrack to the film Singles, the track greatly raised the band’s profile.
For those struggling in inescapable inner conflict, it may whisper, “You’re not alone.”

Noam’s Song 2Maor Ashkenazi & Noam Cohen
Israeli rapper Maor Ashkenazi and Noam Cohen, who survived the October 2023 music festival attack despite losing a friend, co-wrote this work—a track that plays like a documentary of a searingly painful experience.
The extreme circumstances of gunfire and explosions, and the survivor’s personal memories, are vividly rendered over a heavy, icy drill beat.
This is not merely an indictment; it is the very cry of a human soul struggling to rise from the brink of death.
Upon its release in November 2023, it reached No.
10 on the charts in Israel.
Rather than seeing it as a distant country’s event, why not reflect on the value of peace as one person’s story?
NEVER FAIR (feat. Lena Scissorhands)SEAS ON THE MOON
She’s On The Moon is a project by the Valentin brothers, based in Moldova.
Collaborating with musicians from around the world, their track featuring Lena Scissorhands of Infected Rain is progressive metal that voices a piercing cry: “the world is never fair.” The contrast between Lena’s ferocious screams and her beautiful clean vocals seems to embody both rage against senseless fate and the single ray of light found within it.
Even among the collaborations the two acts have pursued since 2016, the emotional depth of this piece is exceptional.
When you need courage to face the absurdities you can’t control, this song might just stir your heart.

Born from her own battle after being diagnosed with Lyme disease in August 2023, the piece tenderly reaches the hearts of those carrying invisible pain and loneliness, set against delicate sound production.
The everyday realities she likely faced—such as the conflict of having to turn down plans with friends—are told in her gentle voice and strike a deep chord with listeners.
Her previous work, “Flowers,” was highly acclaimed, reaching No.
26 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay, and the world she creates has only deepened further here.
It’s a healing song you’ll want to quietly listen to on nights when you feel no one understands you.
Never MeantAmerican Football
An emotionally moving song whose delicate phrases, woven by two interlacing guitars, seep deep into the heart.
It’s the opening track of the American indie rock band American Football’s 1999 album, American Football.
While it portrays the bittersweet feelings of a love nearing its end, the ensemble built on irregular time signatures and the softly resonant trumpet in the final section gently envelop those sentimental emotions.
Fifteen years after its release, the official music video was unveiled in 2014 and became a topic of conversation.
Like this track, if you listen on a night when you want to quietly immerse yourself in fading memories, you’ll feel a warm catharsis nestled within the sadness.
