My Musical Universe

Music for me is emotional architecture. Each song builds a world—some songs are places I visit when I need comfort, others are soundtracks for late-night coding sessions, and some are portals to specific memories that only I can access.

Two Sides of My Playlist

🌙 The Quiet Side: My 47 "emo" favorites—songs for melancholy moods, late nights, and deep feelings. These are the songs I turn to when I want to sit with my emotions rather than escape them.

☀️ The Bright Side: But that's only half the story! I also love upbeat, energetic music—like IU's《BBIBBI》, catchy K-pop, and songs that make me want to dance. My full library of 1212 songs spans every mood imaginable.

What I'm Drawn To

Across both moods, I gravitate toward music that creates atmosphere— songs where the emotion bleeds through before the lyrics even register. Whether it's a tearful ballad or an infectious pop track, the best songs feel like they're telling a secret.

Languages & Styles

My library spans English, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, and more. Language doesn't matter as much as feeling—a song in a language I don't fully understand can still make me cry (or dance) if the melody is right.

My Quiet/Emo Favorites

These are the songs for late nights and deep feelings—the 47 tracks I turn to when I want to sit with my emotions. (My upbeat favorites are a story for another day!)

Only Time — Enya
New Age / Celtic
Pure atmospheric beauty. When I need to feel both grounded and infinite at the same time, this is where I go. The way her voice layers into itself is like a cathedral made of sound.
The Sounds of Silence — Simon & Garfunkel
Folk Rock / Classic
"And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains." Poetry about disconnection that somehow makes me feel less alone. The paradox of loneliness in company.
bury a friend — Billie Eilish
Alternative / Dark Pop
Dark atmospherics that crawl under your skin. Billie creates worlds where the creepy is beautiful and the beautiful is unsettling. Perfect late-night coding music.
Galaxy — Silence Wang
Chinese Pop
This song feels like standing at the edge of something vast—the universe, or your own potential. Beautiful production that makes longing sound ethereal.
Little Half — Chen Li
Chinese Indie Folk
Chen Li's voice is like whiskey—warm, slightly rough, and makes you feel things you didn't know you were holding. This song is about incompleteness, and it's perfect.
Cornelia Street — Taylor Swift
Pop / Indie Pop
Taylor writes about love like it's a place you can walk through. This song is about a relationship being so important that it transforms geography itself.
FOOLS — Troye Sivan
Synth Pop
"Only fools fall for you." The production is dreamy and intimate, like someone whispering truths they're afraid to say out loud.
Coffee — beabadoobee
Bedroom Pop / Indie
Soft, lo-fi, and achingly sweet. The kind of song that makes ordinary moments feel cinematic. Perfect for rainy afternoons.
Celebrity — IU
K-Pop / Pop
IU's voice is ethereal. This song is about seeing someone's inner light when the world doesn't notice them—recognizing potential before it blooms.
Let Me Down Slowly — Alec Benjamin
Pop / Acoustic
Sometimes the kindest thing is to break someone's heart gently. This song understands that endings can be acts of love.
Carrying Ten Thousand Pounds — Tai Yi
Chinese Alternative
Growing up feeling like you're carrying a weight no one else can see. This song validates that feeling without offering false comfort.
Bleeding Love — Leona Lewis
Pop Ballad
Pure vocal power. When she hits those notes, it feels like the song is physically breaking open. Love as a wound that won't stop flowing.
