• mine, milky day + ash haze
  • a summer vibey song, carefree, me on the surface!
  • i just wanna love on you so i can make it right
• koi mil gaya, many artists from the movie kuch kuch hota hai
  • very nostalgic song. i'm a sentimental piece of shit and this song brings back a lot and idk it's also a very carefree song that's like woohoo falling in love, which is a lot of my life tbh
• how can i love the heartbreak, you're the one i love, AKMU
  • now this song isn't on here for the lyrics because that would be depressing, although the act of loving heartbreak is one that i partake in quite often, i tend to find beauty in the most mundane and even painful things
  • no, this song is here because my dear dear friend recommended me this song, this song is here because of the single butterfly that awoke in my stomach when he said 'you should listen to this song!'
  • this song is here because no matter the song it'll be on my list because it came from someone i love
  • the lyrics are in korean so i'm sure a lot of it is lost in translation, but what i do understand from it is just ethereal
• best friend, laufey
  • i love my friends what can i say, and this song blurs the line between romantic and platonic feelings which is literally half of the friendships i have so i really resonate with it. it reminds me of a lot of ppl
  • there's no one else i'd rather fall in love with, and that is, my best friend in the world
• when i'm older, ashe
  • a recurring theme in my life is that i tend to look in front of myself, i'm always a few steps ahead and as a result i've been pretty successful and productive, but it's like my life has always been a race to the next stage
  • and as a result, i haven't really slowed down to experience everything that life has to offer. and i've been doing that for like a year now, and so it's really beautiful to focus on the present and often the past too
  • but this song is a nice reminder of the fact that even when the present is difficult, maybe one day i'll be in a place where it'll all be okay
  • maybe when i'm older, i'll know what it's like not to love you
• nothing, bruno major
  • okay stfu i'm not basic, okay i mAY have found out abt it from tiktok but bro it hits so different....
  • this is the love i crave, i'll get emotional anytime i listen to it and i can almost touch my dreams..
  • it's the love that i know i can have if i want, but am too scared to go get. and that fucking hurts bruh
  • we'll play nintendo, though i always lose, 'cause you'll watch the tv while i'm watching you
• என் மேல் விழுந்த, a.r. rahman
  • hoooooooly shit this song is a masterpiece i'm not even exaggerating...
  • it's so nostalgic, any melody song in tamil honestly immediately hits and this one is sung by k.s. chitra and oh my goodness her voice.. they dubbed her chinnakuyil chitra for a reason (which means like,, songbird?? because her voice is so sososo sweet like a bird </3)
  • and the lyrics are so beautiful
  • i feel like i'm constantly in this state of loneliness and confusion that is expressed in this song i love it.. it's asking out for someone, someone, someone, just like me, i feel like i'm constantly searching
  • என் மேல் விழுந்த மழைத்துளியே, இத்தனை நாளாய் எங்கிருந்தாய் / இன்று எழுதிய என் கவியே, இத்தனை நாளாய் எங்கிருந்தாய்
• பெண்ணல்ல பெண்ணல்ல ஊதாப்பூ, a.r. rahman
  • this is such a cute song. it's exactly the way i would describe anyone i love, whether crushes or friends or family
  • it's such a delicate song, like if i touch it it might fall apart and oh my god i am so in love with that
  • பெண்ணல்ல பெண்ணல்ல ஊதாப்பூ / சிவந்த கன்னங்கள் ரோஜாப்பூ / கண்ணல்ல கண்ணல்ல அல்லிப்பூ / சிரிப்பு மல்லிகைப்பூ
  • i love language and the fact that nuance is something that exists, so the fact that mainly only tamil speakers realize the extent of beauty in these lyrics makes it even more beautiful and even more apt to be in my life record
  • ugh if you got all the way here you HAVE to listen to this performance
• cherry wine - live, hozier
  • ahhhhhh yeah we got to the hozier... everything i aspire to create in my art and in my life is the level of emotion that is embedded within every one of hozier's songs
  • the song makes me feel a lot, everything makes me feel a lot, and i hope i make others feel a lot
  • oh momma, don't fuss over me
• love is not enough, ashe
  • okay can i just say, i love ashe
  • i think my infatuations are less due to people actually being that great and more due to my infatuation with love itself
  • it's way too easy for me to get caught up in my idealized version of life, but it really does make everything easier and more beautiful
  • so this song tells me that even though it's not the only thing that'll get us far in life, it gives us strength; this song justifies my love for everything
  • love is not enough, but at least we've got that much
  • love is not enough, but at least i've got your touch, the middle of a long night, we don't need it all right now / we can take our sweet time, everything will be just fine
• life goes on, bts
  • i had to include bts here, they got me through a lot of rough spots in my life i'm ngl and they have been there for me for so many years
  • being a romantic like me... it's not all rose colored glasses and carefree spring days, it's deep attachment to anything and everything and that makes it so hard to move on from the past
    • yeah i have problems with both the past and the future get out
  • but anyways this song is so comforting, reminds me of the relief you feel when you let go and move on :)
  • yeah, life goes on, like this again
  • the verses are also beautiful but a lot of it, again, gets lost in translation, just hits diff when you listen to it tbh even if you don't know korean
• days gone by, day6
  • yeah i'm a sentimental piece of shit as mentioned above and this song is beautifully nostalgic and makes me feel like i'm growing up, like i've moved past parts of my life that i'll never get back again
  • and yes it makes me emotional and sad sometimes, but it's a reminder of the fleeting nature of life, that temporariness that makes everything so much more valuable
  • again, lyrics get lost in translation, and a lot of this song is more than just the lyrics but the music (the drums and guitar omg) and just the overall vibe
• growing pains, mxmtoon
  • holy fuck this song makes me want to cry because it feels like something i want to say to my younger self? i think i felt very lonely when i was younger and so i really wish i could've had this song to let me know i would be okay
  • sometimes i wonder whether me when i was younger would like the person that i've become
  • everything's gonna get better, everything's gonna get worse, when it gets hard remember that's the way it always works
  • everyone calls them growing pains because we know the hurt
• 金牛座的牢騷, sunset rollercoaster
  • i think this is a cover LOL (yeah this was a wrong thought) but f showed me this song!! i love the vibes i think it's very comforting
