Song #152

Right Next Door To Hell by Guns N’Roses

It was released in 1991 in the album Use Your Illusion I

Fun fact: Right Next Door to Hell" (or at least the chorus) about his neighbor at the time, Gabriela Kantor, who accused the singer of clubbing her in the head with an empty wine bottle and throwing her car keys over his 12th-floor balcony on Oct. 30, 1990. Rose, unsurprisingly, had a different version of events, telling police that Kantor had repeatedly harassed the singer since he moved into the luxurious West Hollywood condo. He said Kantor was blasting music in her apartment on the night of the arrest, prompting Rose to walk into the hallway and tell her to “shut up.” Kantor then allegedly hurled a wine bottle at him and threw her keys into his apartment.

Song #171

Baker by Aimee Carty

It was released on July 19, 2024

Fun Fact: Aimee Carty's song "Baker" is a poignant exploration of the journey from childhood innocence to the complexities of adulthood. The song begins with the narrator reminiscing about being a baker, a painter, a runner, and a dancer, each time receiving praise and feeling a sense of accomplishment. However, as she grows older, she encounters the harsh reality that not all efforts are met with approval, and not all talents are universally recognized. This shift from self-assuredness to self-doubt is a central theme in the song, reflecting the universal experience of growing up and facing criticism.

Why by Derivakat

It was released on May 16, 2021

Fun Fact: Why is a song created by Derivakat, and is inspired by the lore of the Dream SMP. The song is about Wilbur, or more commonly referred to as Ghostbur. Unlike Blue, the song takes a more darker and sadder approach, that refers to the past, and what’s happened. "“Why” conveys the feelings of intense loss and hopeless despair in the wake of tragedy. […] I’ve tried to tackle the different ways ppl respond or react to war on the smp, whether they are the initiators, aggregators, bystanders, or victims of it" -Derivakat via twitter
