         ┊music is pretty powerful,

         ┊right? it has the ability to

         ┊put us through a bunch of

         ┊different feelings. to make

         ┊us feel better, to make us

         ┊tear up, get excited… with

         ┊that in mind i kind of thought

         ┊of this simple blog. the idea

         ┊is pretty much to take ten

         ┊emotions, moods, states,

         ┊however you wanna call

         ┊them, and link them to songs

         ┊that make me feel like that.

         ┊so without me rambling for

         ┊too long,, let’s go

  O1. h a p p i n e s s

          ⇢ seventeen | left & right

⠀

❝ gonna start with one of the

     most basic emotions and

     one that most music usually

     makes me feel since it is a

     form of entertainment after

     all. i could’ve chosen many

     songs for this emotion but i

     wanted one that makes me

     so damn happy that colors

     want to explode out of my

     chest.

     ‘left & right’ is a pretty recent

     song but i’ve already replayed

     it a thousand times. and in

     those thousand times not once

     did it fail to put me in a good

     mood as well as a smile on my

     face, easily making it one of

     my recent favorites. it has such

     an incredibly fun vibe that it’s

     addicting. it’s simple fresh and

     upbeat which is a perfect for-

    mula to make your serotonin

     levels raise. the playfulness of

     the melody makes me feel like

     i’m a happy child again and i

     very much appreciate a song

     that can create a feeling of

     being free and happy.

  O2. w a r m t h

          ⇢ jinyoung, hyunsoo | falling in love

⠀

❝ this song could’ve easily

     fallen under the happiness

     category but in a way it fits

     perfectly with this as well.

     it’s your usual cute, sort of

     summery song and as if the

     title is a spoiler for the future,

     i definitely fell in love with it.

     it’s just such a sweet and fun

     song that my heart can’t help

     itself not to feel all warm and

     fuzzy when i listen to it. it

     breathes in freshness and

     positive energy drips from

     every single note. it feels like

     a sunny spring day. like a

     warm hug from a friend. like

     the sweet taste of a fruit cake.

     in a world in which the warm

     summer breeze would have

     a sound this song is some-

    thing i imagine it would be like.

  O3. h e a v i n e s s

          ⇢ one | night time ride

⠀

❝ if i was to explain heaviness

     as an emotion, i’d probably

     say it’s a sort of crushing

     feeling. but despite that

     sounding negative, in a way i

     quite like it when a song feels

     dark and heavy. i like the fact t

    hey hit a different spot.

     i feel like the title for this song

     is perfect cause that’s exactly

     how it feels. like a ride into the

     night. but one that you took

     cause something isn’t quite

     right – something heavy is

     weighing your soul down and

    you need an escape. the beat

     itself is such a good depiction

     of it. it feels like watching over

     a bunch of tiny city lights but

     at the same time gives the

     song some more edge and

     dirtiness. it sounds heavy but

     it feels almost relaxing to

     listen to.

⠀

❝ if i imagined anything cold:

     winter, snow, ice, harsh words

     or even the color blue – and

     then needed to connect it to

     a song, it would without a

     doubt be this one. they even

     say in the lyrics ‘why is it so

     cold?’ making this a perfect

     match. hearing their soft

     voices and the wonderful

     instrumentation feels like a

     cold touch to the heart.

     making it shrink and ache.

     i’m pretty sure that the first

     time i came across it, it almost

     made me cry. there’s something

     so incredibly powerful about it

     that creates an entire storm

     inside of your soul. when it

     starts, it gives an impression

     like it might go somewhere

     sweeter but the moment

     suhyun’s voice is heard some-

    thing shatters. you can hear

     the coldness in the voice. you

     can hear something is not right.

  O5. r e a s s u r a n c e

          ⇢ day6 | better better

⠀

❝ after a song to make us feel

     cold, let’s take one to reassure

     us that thing’s aren’t as bad as

     they seem and that it will get

     better. ‘better better’ isn’t

     necessarily one of my favorite

     day6 songs but when a mood

     is right, for three and a half

     minutes it becomes my favorite

     song in the universe. like damn,

     it fills my heart with so much

     comfort and happiness. i feel

     like it materializes two hands

     to wipe away the tears. it’s

     such an incredible song – filled

    with warmth and something

     unexplainably beautiful. the

     chorus especially just hits so

     hard. punches me right out of

     a dark mood i might have fallen

     into. it has the power to convince

     you things will be better (better).

     a rainbow will come after the

     storm.

  O6. c o m f o r t

          ⇢ winner | well

⠀

❝ in a way this song hits strong

     similarly to the previous one

     yet it’s still completely different.

     while ‘better better’ is here to

     reassure me about the future,

     ‘well’ makes me feel better

     right now. it’s perfect to listen

     to when i’m in a bad mood or

     overwhelmed, when it may

     make me tear up but those are,

     in a way, tears of relief. i said

     it before but i’m saying it

     again – this song feels like

     the warmest hug in the world.

     it’s one of the warmest songs

     i have ever heard. no other

     song before has given me so

     much positive energy within

     just the first few lines. it gives

     me so much strength some-

    times it’s insane. listening to

     it, i might feel like i’m suddenly

     strong enough to do anything.

     it melts away any problem for

     the short while it lasts. shields

     you away from all the negativity.

  O7. e x c i t e m e n t

          ⇢ stray kids | ta

⠀

❝ shifting away from the songs

     that will hit me in the feels,

     ‘ta’ gets me hyped as hell. it

     feels like pure adrenaline has

     been injected into my veins

     and i just want to dance until

     i collapse or idk,, punch a

    wall or something else that’s

     stupid. it’s a song that’s filled

     with so much energy literally

     throughout the entire thing.

     like there’s not a single

     moment to just take a deep

     breath in and collect yourself.

     makes your heart beat faster

     with every ing moment

     but in a good way and not in

     a ‘i’m about to out’ kind

     of way. it’s just such a perfect

     party song and i would love

     to one day be able to hear it

     at their concert or even in a

     club.

          ⇢ tvxq | city lights

⠀

❝ there are a lot of songs

     that i could put here. songs

     that are perfect to just chill

     to, let your mind wander

     around and your being simply

     exist in the moment without a

     single doubt. but i’ve been

     addicted to this one ever since

     it came out so i couldn’t resist

     not to put it here. perhaps it

     might be a bit too upbeat for

     some people when they wish

     to just let out the biggest sigh

     of relief. it’s got a rather

     bouncy beat and taeyong’s rap

     gives it a bit more flare. but the

     singing is somehow so soft

     and sensual. and then that

     chorus--oof,, makes me simply

     melt. makes my mind teleport

     to the beach where i’m laying

    on the still warm sand and

     looking at the colorful sunset.

  O9. c o n f i d e n c e

          ⇢ girl’s day | i'll be yours

⠀

❝ dare i say, girl’s day have

     quite a few songs that make

     me feel like i’m at the top of

     the world but this one just

     gives you that confidence

     boost to punch someone while

     rocking a wedding dress. if i

     were to listen to this while

     simply walking down the street,

     i’d most definitely feel like

     That B*tch. the entire song has

     so much energy and flare. it

     feels spicy. it feels powerful. i

     can’t quite explain it but it has

     so much character and charm

     that never fails to transfer to

     me as well and bring out the

     confidence i didn’t even know

     existed. idk just trust me and

     blast this out loud the next

     time you’re getting ready to

     go out.

          ⇢ ikon | don’t forget

⠀

❝ aloneness sounds kinda

     weird but i just knew i didn’t

     want to write loneliness.

     there’s a big difference if

     you ask me. i like to be alone

     but i don’t like to feel lonely.

     this song doesn’t exactly

     make me feel alone,, it’s

     more the fact i like to listen

     to it when i’m by myself.

     somewhere in the dark, just

     living in that one moment

     and letting myself be taken

     away by this song. that’s

     when it hits the strongest. it

     fills my heart with so many

     different emotions that i can’t

     decide if it made me sad or if

     it managed to comfort me.

     the overall vibe of it definitely

     has a colder tone but the

     atmosphere it creates is

     almost warm.
