Fall in Love by Phantogram is a song that I heard on the way back from a festival. I hadn't heard it in so long, and I couldn't help but put it on repeat the next day. An amazing song about falling in love, and knowing you're sabotaging it but can't do anything to stop.

Runaway (U&I) the remix by Subtronics was a song I heard Skrillex play at my first EDM festival in 2023.

This song completely changed my life, and opened my eyes to the rave scene.

We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande was one of my top songs in 2024. A lyric that always stands out to me in this song is "I don't like how you paint me yet I'm still here hagning." It always stands out to me because it goes to show that someone can make you out to be someone that you're not and constantly hold on to that version of you.
