Songs that are otherwise emotion-neutral suddenly feel loaded and complicated, like someone&#8217;s about to knock on the bathroom door and ask if you&#8217;re okay. Yes, it can get that emo.<\/p>\n<p> YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6MTYrdX1lFewnGfMvBDqjQ\" target=\"_blank\">socially awkward fangirl<\/a> has uploaded quite a few of these edits, and even more on <a href=\"https:\/\/altmusicfromanotherroom.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">their Tumblr<\/a>. They&#8217;ve also <a href=\"https:\/\/altmusicfromanotherroom.tumblr.com\/post\/164128319817\/how-do-you-make-these\" target=\"_blank\">given a tutorial<\/a> on how this is done. It&#8217;s a fairly simple process in Adobe Audition, involving fiddling with the song&#8217;s elements, like reverb and amplitude.<\/p>\n<p> Here are a few standout songs that are <i> almost<\/i> improved through muffled listening. <\/p>\n<div data-iframely-id=\"fhqWfES\" class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\" data-iframely-smart-iframe=\"true\"><iframe  src= width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> The Killers&#8217; &#8220;Mr. Brightside,&#8221; already a jam rife with hyperactive melancholy, sounds even more bittersweet when it&#8217;s given the &#8220;Another Room&#8221; treatment. Everyone has either an awkward coming-of-age memory or a bar karaoke blackmail video associated with this song, and hearing it from afar is like reaching back through the years to that memory. Fuck, why am I sad now? <\/p>\n<div data-iframely-id=\"7CnyzKb\" class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\" data-iframely-smart-iframe=\"true\"><iframe  src= width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> &#8220;Can&#8217;t Get You Out of My Head&#8221; by Kylie Minogue makes me want to stand outside a 2000s-themed dance venue in the Lower East Side and smoke a cigarette, and I don&#8217;t even smoke. YouTube user Kate Jay, in the comments, gets it: &#8220;this isnt a club jam this is a why am i crying in the club jam .&#8221; <\/p>\n<div data-iframely-id=\"TQIo92i\" class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\" data-iframely-smart-iframe=\"true\"><iframe  src= width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Somehow, Gorillaz&#8217; &#8220;Feel Good Inc&#8221; is one of the few songs edited in this way that actually does feel&#8230; good. You&#8217;re not missing anything, you&#8217;re just appreciating it from afar. Like you&#8217;re out in the fire escape catching a break from small talk for a minute. Also the bass line in this song is underappreciated and when everything else is muffled, it&#8217;s the star.<\/p>\n<div data-iframely-id=\"DCDqKLF\" class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\" data-iframely-smart-iframe=\"true\"><iframe  src= width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Similarly, muffled &#8220;American Idiot&#8221; by Green Day doesn&#8217;t necessarily make me sad; it just sounds like I had to step outside for a minute because this song gives me a headache.<\/p>\n<div data-iframely-id=\"XnOFi29\" class=\"article__embed article__embed--iframely\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;\" data-iframely-smart-iframe=\"true\"><iframe  src= width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" frameborder=\"0\" ><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> The title of this upload is &#8220;What Redbone would sound like while you&#8217;re making out in the bathroom of a house party&#8221; and that is exactly what it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/neeqwx\/songs-edited-to-sound-like-theyre-playing-in-another-room-are-inexplicably-emotional\" target=\"bwo\" >https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/rss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/video-images.vice.com\/articles\/599f533e085fd92aa5a64c92\/lede\/1503614442431-shutterstock_650382520-copy.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit to Author: Samantha  Cole| Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 15:00:00 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>tfw you&#8217;re puking in the bathroom while everyone else is partying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[10643,13328,10378],"tags":[375],"class_list":["post-8924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-independent","category-motherboard","category-security","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8924\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.palada.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
