Lately, I’ve been leaning into music that feels like a feeling.
Not just background noise, but songs that slow me down, pull me in, and make me feel something, deeply, softly, weirdly.
Here’s what’s been living in my headphones and on repeat in my world right now:
Semi Western – “Wi-Su” & “Pose”
There’s something about Semi Western that feels like a dusty road at golden hour.
“Wi-Su” has this hypnotic, slow-burning pull that makes you feel like you’re somewhere between a dream and a desert.
“Pose” is more haunting, like the part of a movie where the main character realizes something quietly life-changing.
They’re not just songs. They’re scenes. They’re moods.
Come Closer – “Copperplate”
This one feels like nostalgia in motion.
“Copperplate” is soft, cinematic, and poetic in a way that sneaks up on you.
It’s the kind of track that makes you want to write a love letter to someone you haven’t met yet, or maybe to yourself.
Desire – “Machine Spirit Blue”
This one? Synthy, moody, and kind of addictive.
“Machine Spirit Blue” feels like walking alone through a neon-lit city, headphones in, heart wide open.
It’s futuristic but emotional. Robotic but romantic.
Think Black Mirror but make it a sad girl playlist.
Scarlet Rae – “Silver Train”
There’s something raw and unfiltered about this song that reminds me of being 17 again, before we overthought everything.
It’s soft but gritty, like a rainy Sunday when you’re deep in your feelings and totally okay with that.
Pink Floyd – “Comfortably Numb”
An oldie, but never just background noise.
This song is a portal. Every time I listen to it, I’m transported.
It’s existential and tender and kind of devastating in the best way.
A reminder that music can still crack you open, even when you think you’ve heard it a hundred times.
Slow Pulp – Movey (Entire Album)
This whole album is giving soft girl autumn, even if it’s technically winter.
Slow Pulp gets it. Every track feels like it was written for overthinkers, creatives, and anyone who’s ever wanted to escape their own head for a little while.
It’s quiet and gorgeous and real.
Music isn’t just sound. It’s self-expression.
It’s the safe place you go when everything else feels too loud.
And lately, these artists have given me a place to feel softer, slower, and more in tune with myself.
Whether you’re looking for something to cry to, create to, or just exist with, I highly recommend giving these tracks a spin.
Let them hold you for a minute.
