6. Cold Coffee – Ed Sheeran

This is one of Ed Sheeran’s oldest songs. Yet, you’ll feel different every time you listen to it. It talks about a bittersweet person (and the relationship between them). However, it feels like Sunday afternoon, just lying on your couch and watching the day going by.

8. Angels – The XX

This is a love declaration. Or it can be an idea of love. Or anything else you may be feeling now. You’ll feel it listening to Angels. Most important of all, you’ll feel peaceful.
9. Undo – The 1975
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol65fVH-B2I
“I wanna see you but you’re not mine” will be the line that’s going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day (or night). Even though it has length, there aren’t much lyrics and that was The 1975’s catch to make a great song to just sit back and feel it.
10. Pode Ser – Banda Do Mar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNNtnyn3Dmw
Banda Do Mar is a Brazilian band. They have an unique sound. This delicate track specifically is about giving peace and feeling in peace to love someone even more.
11. Lonely – The Maine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOTAJP07x7Y
Lonely belongs to The Maine’s latest album, “Lovely Little Lonely”. It’s the last interlude, which connects to the songs “Lost In Nostalgia”,“I Only Wanna Talk To You” and “How Do You Feel”. The first connection reminds of a time of resistance, telling yourself not to get lost in the old memories. The song itself is the path to a revival, which is shown in the second and third connection – the certainty of a feeling, the concern about this feeling. Lonely doesn’t tell a sad story, but a transition to the lovely side. Listening to it will make you dive deeply into this feeling of being found and it was exactly what you didn’t know you needed to hear.
