    I don’t know why this song makes me cry every time I hear it. Something about it gets me right in the soul. Also I didn’t know the artist or song name so thanks for the link, that is a beautiful video; I haven’t seen it before and after a bit of an emotionally taxing day I got a happy cry and I feel a lot lighter inside

    💚 Thank you for brightening this stranger’s day

      Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!

      I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).

      The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.
