Top 5 comfort songs

it's very difficult to choose five, but hey let's give it a go;

1: this is on you by maisie peters

2: dancing queen by abba

3: i see fire by ed sheeran

4: 6/10 by dodie

5: geboren um zu leben by unheilig

definitely nowhere near close to listing all my comfort songs, and this mainly comes from scrolling a playlist or two, but all those songs have been part of my life since i was still in school (if not long before then) and i will still listen to when i want to for the familiarity

oh my the more i think of it the more songs i think of that absolutely deserve a spot near the top, for one those are mostly english language songs due to the playlist i chose and ones i would already have said age 15 (plenty in other languages that have been comfort songs as long as i can remember), and there sure are plenty of songs i used to be obsessed with but for varying reasons am not anymore - and of course many songs i have discovered in recent years which are very much comfort songs. i could go on for so long about each one aughh

What if being gay was real

I see hair of black, brown lions too

I see them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

I see balls of light and hearts of orange

The everlasting sun, the long skype call nights

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see phan holding hands, saying, "What can I say?"

They're really saying, "I love you"

I hear young queers cry, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world

That would be
