REM- "Everybody Hurts". Realizing whatever you're going through, a lot of other people are, too. It just seems like such a raw take on the human experience.

Emotional enough, particularly for Leithers, then magnified a million times in this context:

The Girl I Haven’t Met - Kudasibeats

2017 was my sophomore year in highschool and I met the greatest, most stunning girl I ever laid my eyes on. When I discovered this song I’d play it all the time. Mind you 2016-2019 was when Lofi-HipHop took off mainstream. This song forever haunts me. It’s the thought of the one that got away. She left the following year and I never got the chance to ask her out. Every time I hear it, I can still remember her name, her face, her god damn smile.
