I started looking through songs I listened to when I was younger, which weren't really found by my efforts, I listened to whatever my mom and sister listened to which happened to be a lot of Natasha, Eminem and 50 cent(which I never particularly enjoyed, but hey), Nelly Furtado and things like Avril Lavigne, Bowling for Soup, Coheed & Cambria, Panic At the Disco and Me First & the Gimme Gimmes on my older sister's end.
It was basically what I loved while growing up before I started discovering music on my own which began when I was about 12 or 13. I got into Slipknot (sort of, two or three songs really) and Cradle of Filth (extremely into, whole albums and such), metal music and such. It was funny then because I absconded from listening to any R&B or literally anything besides metal, seriously forcing myself away, it was hilarious.
I still love CoF, but afterwards came Tokio Hotel (an obsession) which led to discovering Nena's 99 Luft Ballons (a million tears, I love this song even now).
Then my best friend introduced me to a bunch of strange musicians, so from then I started listening to a lot of Kimya Dawson and Garfunkel & Oates. Especially Kimya, god bless her fucking lyrics.
I found a couple songs by the Beatles I liked being Eleanor Rigby and For No One. I think I'll make a point to find more songs by them that appeal to me.
Then came my love for Kpop which takes up the majority of space in my iPod, but otherwise the musical inspirations of mine would probably lean more toward the Soloists and Westerners.
Anyways, I re-discovered the song These Words by Natasha and I haven't been this intent on learning a song in ages. I forgot how good it was.
(I'm aware the gif isn't from these words. There are no nice Natasha gifs, dunno why.)
Cheers, Nat.
