#i considered troubled siblings but i don't have that many sibling songs AAAA

[distance-does-not-matter]

not enemies not lovers not friends but a secret fourth thing

the secret fourth thing is kind strangers

Song Request by Lee So Ra feat. SUGA (asking a stranger for a favor over the phone and they agree. you will never meet this person. you are having an awful time. they help you out, make you feel better. they do not know your name)

Night Train by Milena (exchanging a smile with another person up late at night for the same purpose. your paths will never cross again, but in this moment, you are together)

Yeosu Night Sea by Busker Busker (when the older lady calls you "baby", when the vendor gives you an extra snack that you didn't pay for, when the stranger at the bus stop gives you a tissue when you're crying and doesn't insist on eye contact, when you and a stranger stand side by side appreciating the same view)

鬼ヶ島 by Ichiko Aoba (this one, to me, could be sitting in a quiet restaurant where it's you and a few other customers in quiet camaraderie, especially at night)

Laundry by youra (holding the door open for a stranger as you leave the laundry room, telling them which washer is open and which dryer is broken, commiserating over nobody coming to take their laundry out of the machines)

So life goes on by Heo Hoy Kyung (walking among crowds of strangers, a little miserable, but someone gives you a little smile. someone tells you they love your outfit, your hair, whatever, and they genuinely mean it. life goes on. you dry your tears and compliment a stranger. they beam at you)

Pigeon by Dasutt (laughing at a squirrel's antics with a stranger, cheering on a bird together, petting a stranger's dog at the park and never meeting them again but always remembering that dog when you meet another of the same breed)

Your Dog Loves You by Colde (the warmth in your chest from animals loving so purely and wholely, and being reminded of your pet when you see a stranger with theirs) (ok mostly i just wanted you to be introduced to this song)

Memory by Gaho (all those kids at the park who you were briefly, incandescently, best friends with for half an hour, who you think of fondly when you drive past the park. you wonder if they remember you too)

saphir by Pomme (strangers are whole people, too, and this knowledge warms you entirely. they have families, loved ones. you watch crowds bustle home at Christmastime and know that they are loved, and you are loved, too)
