- great expectations - elbow
- really, truly, gorgeous and evocative on its own, but has particular nostalgia value for me
- i listened to this song over and over again during my senior year at wes; it brings me back to empty winter streets and slightly dazed sunrises, working on my thesis in an empty studio or waiting for a friend to pick me up from the snowy train station
- more: grounds for divorce, weather to fly, the bones of you
- yume yume - one ok rock
- wildflowers (exhale efreet) - made in heights
- truth - balmorhea
- all i understand is that i don’t understand - toe
- more: two moons, mukougishi ga miru yume, c
- forgotten children - mouse on the keys
- heavy weather - billie marten
- a lot of my favorite songs tend towards the slow and soothing, but this is probably the most exemplary
- heimförin - ásgeir trausti
- the entire mushishi soundtrack - toshio masuda
- really the whole soundtrack, i can't pick just one
- another beautifully calming work that also has personal significance
- not so much the memory of a time as an atmosphere of comfort
- keep quiet - the protomen
- outside of the mushishi soundtrack, i've been largely trying to limit this list to one song per artist, but the protomen are such a narrative act that it's really necessary to listen to the story from the beginning
- that said, as both a song and a scene, this is one of my favorites
- blessing it - nujabes
- nahji no uta - kenji kawai (moribito: guardian of the spirit)
