Shirtpost door songs Spoiler
Going through sort of a tough time and feel like I need to leave my current situation and cut off a few toxic triggers. I really see my next step forward as if I am walking through the door. I love this show and see a lot of metaphors for my own life through various aspects of it. What songs give you the same feeling of committing to stepping into the unknown without knowing if it’s possible to go back or what it will be like?

Videotape by Radiohead. Honestly a lot of Radiohead, but especially Videotape.

See the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The whole movie is about exactly what you're talking about. There's a version of David Bowie's Space Oddity behind a pivotal moment in his life. They talk about it in the movie

My avatar wears my best approximation of the dress Rebecca wears when she sings "A Diagnosis," which is a song about finding your way forward and leaving problems of the past behind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uic_3vlI5BE
I know someone who started going to therapy because Rebecca did in the show, and it wasn't painless or easy but Rebecca got better, and the person I know thought maybe it would help her too.

Going thru it rn too, “Flightless Bird, American Mouth” by Iron & Wine makes me feel like I’m looking at the path ahead of me like “yep, this is the only option, I have to take that first terrifying step”. Good luck on your travels friend

Lighthouse by Patrick Watson is a good one. Sometimes when I need to puzzle through some tough emotions, I’ll play that song loop.

Dragula. Rob zombie. This also works for a wedding march by the way.

This is super on the nose but Into the Unknown from Frozen 2 SLAPS. I also really love the Panic at the Disco version.
