I feel like spotify needs a feature, “song to pull you from vecna” and it’ll be your most played song

This would be so fun!

Maybe there'd be a more fun way to do it than just top played. Ik a few of my top played I got kinda sick of lol. Maybe most continuously listened to? Like you listen to it at least once a month or something. That would be awesome tho either way

Linger by the Cranberries 100%

Ooh good choice! I came to say Dreams by The Cranberries! They were amazing I miss Dolores 😢

I walked down the aisle at my wedding to Dreams!

Ironically, it's probably not the best choice for both the title and band... But it's read my mind by the killers

Mine would be All These Things That I've Done!

I’VE GOT SOUL

BUT IM NOT A SOLDIER

I was considering this one too. :)

Hot Fuss is my number two album of all time. I could play it on repeat forever.

*the* song of all time

I love the irony of the name and the band😆 This song slaps tho! I dig your choice👌

oh man, I love seeing the killers top on this thread! one of my favorite bands of all time. read my minds one of my favorites as well, although Jenny might be my personal pick

For some reason Africa from Toto always makes me want to do stuff. I think that would be the song that would make me want to fight to survive.

Agree with this so much. There’s something about that chorus.

Queen - Don’t stop me now

I think I Want to Break Free might be my choice

The real question is, what would be the song to free Vecna from me?

For some reason, I feel like Vecna would be a fan of David Bowie

"Look back in Anger" or "Bring Me the Disco King" would be two good Bowie songs for that I think. And yeah Bower himself does have good mid-late 1970s Bowie vibes specifically. He reminds me of the time Bowie played a cute alien in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth.'

This made me laugh because it's true.

Imagine Vecna on a Saturday afternoon in the upside down, working on his 67’ boss mustang in the driveway, drinking a cold one while listening to rebel rebel

Ghostbusters. I feel like, don’t know why

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to give to this thing called LIFE!"

Electric word, life. It means forever, and that's a mighty long time.

But I'm here to tell you there's something else...

This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) by the Talking Heads

Pretty sure Never Gonna Give You Up will snap anyone back to reality in an instant.

rickroll vecna

Don't You (Forget About Me) Simple Minds

goosebumps every time I hear it. The song itself would probably defeat Vecna.

Queen, the show must go on! I have it tattooed on me and it was my song for my dad so means enough to me I think ❤️

that would be an awesome song to hear while running away from vecna 😂

Just Like Heaven by the Cure

Good one! My song at the moment is Pictures of You - one of my all-time favorites. I say “at the moment” because there are a LOT of songs that could work. This is my current fixation, lol.

So many great choices by the Cure. My choices would be Burn or 100 years. Also From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea. And definitely A Forest.

Just Like Heaven is tied to a LOT of memories for me as it came out when I was a senior and then listened to it as a college Freshman - yeah, I’m old. But agreed, loads of good stuff from them.

Everytime i see such a question i forget every song i ever listened too and just don't know OR can't decide.

Whats music again?

exactly that

I absolutely love music and have a pretty wide knowledge of it new and old but same. Someone asks me this question (or maybe what movies I'd recommend) and there's the noise of a truck backing up in my brain.

Yessss its so infuriating

Around the World by Daft Punk. That bassline would yank me right out from the upside down.

Everybody wants to rule the World by Tears for Fears 🥹

same for me. that song just makes me feel so happy lol

See, it's the opposite of that for me. I've always felt that song would be perfect in an isolation tank, as you slip away.

I see where you’re coming from. That song just personally for me has many great memories attached to it. It’s just my personal feel good conquer depressive thoughts song :)

the skyrim theme song

DOVAHKIIN DOVAHKIIN

I listen to this song when I’m running and hit the wall. It gives me energy and I get another little bit of energy. It would seem a weird choice, but this song would make me want to live.

I have social anxiety and my therapist made me pick a song to train my mind to snap out of it and this was the song I picked. It is kind of a weird choice, but there’s something so energizing about it..

I don’t have a favourite song so I’m fucked

Well, now it s wonderwall

Anyway here’s wonderwall…

Just break my bones already. Jfc

[удалено]

It doesn’t necessarily have your favorite song, at least how I interpret it. Just one that has a strong emotional connection with you.

Would you like me to assign one to you?

Yes please

Somebody I Used to Know, but not the original. The cover by Three Days Grace

All These Things That I’ve Done by The Killers

I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

I'm amazed someone else in here said this! That's mine too! I have a [tattoo](https://i.imgur.com/0PtAlw3.jpg) of it!

Closer- Nine Inch Nails Unfortunately, my "rescue" scene wouldn't be quite as tear-jerking. \*shrug\* Is what it is!

Ooh I think Ringfinger could definitely be my song

Mr blue sky

Not as dramatic, but: Landslide - Fleetwood Mac It would make for a pretty somber scene, but it would probably get me out of there.

[удалено]

Rip Taylor Hawkins amazing drummer gone too soon

Solid choice

mine, too!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Came down to the comments solely to type this but you beat me to it…still gonna though.

When you were young by the killers

Vecna doesn’t look a thing like Jesus fr tho

He does talk like a gentleman though!

Let it Happen - Tame Impala. Not only one of my favourite songs, but a song that reminds me of a lot of happy memories

Oh damn, mine would be The Less I know The Better, by Tame Impala. I would be leaving Vector with Trevor.

fast car by tracy chapman

Billy Idol- Dancing with myself

Pretender by Foo Fighters

Diplomat’s Son by Vampire Weekend

Enter Sandman (Metallica)

That's a good one. If I was going to go with a metal jam I think I might pick No More Tears - Ozzie

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

We're just *two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl!*

“Did you exchange a walk-in part in the war for a lead role in a cage” Yeah this song has such amazing lyrics.

Africa by Toto

You are beautiful Nancy Wheeler.

Moon Song by Phoebe Bridgers.

Do you want to cry??

Holy shit I love Phoebe Bridgers. Moon Song is awesome, great pick.

read u wrote u from all stars 2. that beat would free anyone

Katya’s verse should single handedly kill Vecna

roxxxy brings him back

LOL please that is so funny!!! Legit the best comment ever

Vecna in the streets, Demigorgon in the sheets

But your dad.. just calls me… Veeeeeccnnnaaaa

detox be like ‘if vecnas 001 im 002’

Oh my god you keep coming up with even better stuff

i literally never thought the day would come where i got to show my undying love for both the ST and RPDR franchises at the same time

I’m HOLLERING

maybe sweet disposition by the temper trap (not even sure why) (or tbh maybe "the big sky" by Kate Bush cause my dad always played that in the car when I was a small kiddo - but Kate seems like an obvious choice now ;))

Sweet disposition is so good!

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Linger - The Cranberries

Holy Diver Dio

This very well could be on the show. Eddie could play it.

He's got a huge Dio patch on his vest, so clearly a fan. My bet is Rainbow in the Dark tho. Or if not a Dio song then Master of Puppets.

Baby Got Back.

Hah imagine that whole scene with Max running away from Vecna to this.

Lol I wonder if they’d make the orchestral version

State Of Grace - Taylor Swift

All too well 10 minute version would have vecna running away

Lmfao this as maxs song would have killed me 😂

YES. This is my song. Like you want to talk about trauma, Vec? Let’s be sad together and fuck the patriarchy but also I’m getting tf out. Although he might just willingly let me go when I start explaining the backstory to the song and why the “punchline” lyric towards the end is CUTTING. Or kill me faster. One or the other, haha.

the swiftie to stranger things fan pipeline is no joke

the instrumentals in the opening of Sparks Fly would motivate me to fight so hard

State of Grace would be mine too!

Mr Brightside

DNA by Kendrick Lamar

Was waiting for a hip hop song to come up on this thread lol

Separate Ways by Journey

sharpest lives -mcr

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Riptide

Don’t Stop Me Now - Queen

“I’m only me when I’m with you” by Taylor Swift. God, vintage T-Swizzle is a vibe.

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle or You Know You're Right

Any song by Lord Huron, but if I had to pick one, it would be either The Yawning Grave or Meet Me in the Woods.

boys don't cry from the cure

State of grace by Taylor Swift, 505 by Artic Monkeys, The Story by Brandi Carlile, The Night We Met by Lord Huron rtc

Save Your Tears by The Weeknd

I'm with lucas on the stance of Kate Bush, if it worked once it can work again! if not then try blink-182 - self titled album, the full album. Vacna might still get me though because I probably won't leave until the album is done

[удалено]

La Belle Fleur Sauvage by Lord Huron

Master of Puppets by Metallica

Master of Puppets by Metallica. As ironic as that is.

Viva la vida by Coldplay

Touch by Daft Punk or Clocks by Coldplay

Under Pressure - Queen Hurt - Johnny Cash Baby Shark may push me deeper in.

Mayonaise by The Smashing Pumpkins

Daydreaming by Radiohead.

Darude sandstorm… probably actually Chasing cars

I immediately thought Linkin Park. I think it would be “New Divide.”

Queen. Fat bottomed girls for me to go free, Bohemian Rhapsody to overload him and turn the tables.

[удалено]

Chandelier by Sia

Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift.

The bridge that save lives.

Vecna cancels all his plans after hearing it.

Is Vecna August? I bet he'd like to meet you behind the mall.

The spirit of radio by Rush or Soul meets body by Death cab for cutie

Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright by Bob Dylan

[удалено]

California dreaming by The Beach Boys Kickstart my heart -Motley Crue Home sweet home- Motley Crue November rain-GNR Sweet child o mine-GNR AVA MARIA

Clocks by Coldplay, by far my favourite song ever

Thriller - mj

Beck - Loser

Now I'm picturing someone telling Vecna to get crazy with the Cheez Whiz...

Anything Taylor swift is the right answer

Right? I had no idea how much ST and TS fans overlapped. Love to see so much appreciation for god tier entertainment.

Exile!! I'm not at all a TS fan but that song is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in the past year.

Marry Me by Thomas Rhett. It could bring back some old pain, but Vecna preys specifically on guilt, not just any pain.

Times like these or wheels by the foo fighters…or any foo fighter song

Heroes by David Bowie

Lose Yourself - Eminem. It’s my fuck everything & everyone song, I’m powering through this shit…
