5 songs for when you’re in your feels
I included 5 songs in How to Live Forever. This list could have been very long. Turns out there are a lot of songs about life, death, and love. So here are 5 more that didn’t quite make the cut for that article, but are, nonetheless, worth listening to.
Most of these are from my playlist “Feels m8”:
This playlist is something I listen to when I’m in my feels, mate. Get it?
I love songs that get me hype but sometimes I find it necessary to look into the darkness.
