hey. twelve songs for the wired-soft hours. skip 5 if you're already fine; it's there for when you're not. don't text them back tonight. 🖤

that's the note that goes with every list i build. here's the twelve it goes with. not sad exactly, just soft and wired:

1. fade into you (mazzy star). the last light on in the house.
2. between the bars (elliott smith). for the honesty that only shows up after midnight.
3. doll parts (hole). wanting to be wanted, said out loud.
4. when the sun hits (slowdive). for missing someone in the next room.
5. the ghost of you (my chemical romance). hurts in a good way. keep it low.
6. change (in the house of flies) (deftones). soft, loud, soft. like tonight.
7. play date (melanie martinez). candy ache. you know the one.
8. no surprises (radiohead). for the version of you everyone thinks is fine.
9. ketchum, id (boygenius). three voices, no pretending.
10. pictures of you (the cure). for the photo you should've deleted and didn't.
11. apocalypse (cigarettes after sex). slow on purpose.
12. my love mine all mine (mitski). the thesis, honestly.

want one built for your exact mood? email [email protected], one line is enough. first pick free: i send one true song back, no charge. the full list is $25, payment link once we've agreed.
