I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier but here I made a Spotify collaboration list! The only rules are 1) don't remove somebody else's song and 2) don't spam-add songs.

Really didn't know how to word this. All I know is that I've been completely in love with The Shelter of My Love by Astropol. I'm looking for some more alternative, dream-like, cinematic, emotionally intense songs. Songs that make you have flashbacks of things you never experienced. Songs that make you lose yourself before the voice of the artist jolts you awake. Songs that sound like how perpetual fogs and inevitable spirals feel.

I'm not sure what to call this specific genre, either. What the hell is shoegaze, anyway?

Portishead - Glorybox
I'm not sure what, but that song conjured untold emotions in me for the entirety of 2003

While it's certainly energetic, I think the type of energy is vastly different from what OP is after
