If it doesn't pertain to Adventures in Odyssey, you've stepped into the right place! Grab a chair, and talk about your favorite books, TV shows, join a debate, or just be random!

Yeah I mean she has snapchat.
How does having snapchat mean I've changed? Also, I forgot that you are seeing every picture on my story. =000

Something like that. Just blame Kait.

I'll second the Twenty-One Pilots suggestion; they're a lot of fun.
And now for some of my own recommendations! Largely just individual songs, and not as many albums and/or artists. Lots of it nice and peaceful, because you apparently need some balance in your life with all this rock and whatnot. In no particular order:
"Vidi Aquam" by Young Oceans. Both the full version and the instrumental (which is evidently not on YouTube but almost certainly on Spotify) are lovely. "Welcome Home" by Radical Face. So pretty and slightly sad. "Hanna's Theme" by the Chemical Brothers. I've never seen Hanna and I have no idea how I stumbled across this song, but I like it a lot. "Yahweh" by The Brilliance. I dearly love this song. I would take walks around campus last semester just listening to it on repeat. One of my favorites. "Echoes" by Helen Jane Long is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces I think I've ever heard. "Roslin and Adama" from Battlestar Galactica. I do not watch this show, but stumbled across this piece and loved it. "Legend of Ashitaka" from Princess Mononoke. Princess Mononoke is not my favorite Ghibli film, but this is likely my favorite piece from a Ghibli film. "La Valse D'Amelie" from Amelie. Pretty song; sweet but odd movie. "Intro" by the xx. Ah, infinite loops of this song have gotten me through many a paper/study session.
A couple of artists generally:
Switchfoot. Because I love Switchfoot. Pretty much all of their stuff is great, but to randomly name a couple I enjoy: "Edge of the Earth", "Daisy", "Oh! Gravity", and "Float".
The Oh Hellos. Seriously--they named an entire album "Dear Wormwood". How can you not give them a listen? I especially recommend "Second Child, Restless Child", "Where Is Your Rider", "Exeunt", and "Caesar".
And, last but not least: Les Friction! Seriously. Go listen. I really have no idea how to describe Les Friction's work in terms of genre--Google is telling me everything from "Progressive Rock" to "21st century classical music" so apparently Google is also slightly confused. But seriously--if you (or any of the people reading this thread) like epic-style music, I'm pretty sure you'll love Les Friction. My favorites are "Who Will Save You Now" and "Firewall".

I can second Welcome Home by Radical Face and the xx in general. The xx is super calming and nice to listen to, I love them! Their new album is a little more dancey if that's what you like more though.
