Emotions in Echoes: A Playlist for the Soul

This One…!

A song from 2013, not just ten years old but from a time when social media was still in its infancy, This One…! captures the essence of nostalgia and emotional depth.

Starboy - The Weeknd

Primarily a fan of electronic music, The Weeknd's Starboy remains a highlight in my playlist. The song's distinct melody and overarching theme of loneliness and longing have made it a relative ‘banger’ among my favorites.

The song's unique rhythm and memorable hooks make it a standout in the wave of contemporary RB and pop.

Boy With Luv - BTS

Transitioning to something more upbeat, BTS's Boy With Luv introduced me to the Korean language and culture.

My friends were there for me when I needed it most, and this song is a symbol of those moments of camaraderie and support. Though sad due to past heartbreak, it still remains a hopeful and cherishing tune.
