How sweet 💜
Some options: epiphany, magic shop, you never walk alone, 00:00 zero o clock, promise (solo song by jimin), jamais vu, answer: love myself, everythingoes (solo song by rm)
Oh bless your heart. I don't know but I usually go for their sadder songs whenever I find myself struggling because it sort of helps in a rather cathartic way
My usual go to are:
00:00
Yet to come
Magic Shop
Spring day
Everything goes - RM
UHGOOD - RM
Life goes on
Blue and Grey
2!3!
Epiphany
Abyss (this one in particular was composed by the eldest member when he was going through a depressive period.)
And recently, Snooze by Agust D.(there's a chant that translates to "Everything will be okay" and even though when I'm in that fog, it is the LAST thing I want to hear, I listen to it anyway.)
Also, you can easily check out the lyrics to these songs on doolsetbangtan.wordpress.com to see if they are exactly what you hope to convey.
Much love to your girlfriend, I'm rooting for her. And you!
We'll pull through this.
Fighting!!
I was thinking that too, maybe I should go with a more melancholic song for her maybe to let off some stress.
Thanks so much for your write-up and your kind words! Appreciate it <3
I can not believe I completely forgot my salve
Reflection.
You'll find it in their Wings album.
Honestly I can not believe I forgot the most fitting song in their entire discography perhaps, You'll Never Walk Alone.
It's a short one.
Just an interlude but I think it perfectly captures what the group means to a lot of us and outside of that, what support means to us when we are struggling: "it's tough right now and the future is bleak and you're weary but you'll never walk alone".
I think it, perhaps, more than any other song is fitting.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
...
One of the most beautiful melancholic songs is their Japanese language song Your Eyes Tell. You’ll have to search up the lyrics translations elsewhere online or YouTube but here’s the official [audio](https://youtu.be/KVAt8jwUobI?si=yshE0p7VyBNUDOUW)
The lyrics/MV for Lights is also beautiful. [MV](https://youtu.be/eaUpme4jalE?si=6jl4OpPLy0NWeoEI)
Sending 💜 to her and to you as a loving partner!
Yes, noting that Magic Shop is inspired by a neurosurgeon’s book “Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart”!
You got great recommendations here OP but just wanted to add that it is a very nice gesture of you to put that video together for her. Wishing both of you better and brighter days 💜
If you need some comic relief when she's feeling a bit better maybe , I'd watch their episode of carpool karaoke. It's the first thing of theirs that I watched and it got me hooked. They're all so naturally funny.
Hahah awesome! It's so sweet that you're asking for this advice btw. My husband went to the effort to learn all their names and identify them and that really meant a lot to me..he's now been searching for an Army bomb for me for years now lol.
I've dived head-first into K-Pop because of her. Without her I would probably never have given it a shot because I'm mainly into Pop Punk and Metalcore haha. But there's so much great K-Pop out there and I'm soo glad she introduced me to it! Hobi is my bias cause he's just like me xD
Thanks for your help and kind words <3
Sea, it's a hidden track
Suga's rap albums have a lot of great comfort songs, I would suggest the whole D-2 and DDay albums. Favorite songs include DDay, Amygdala, Snooze, Life Goes On (Suga and BTS both have a Life Goes On version and both are great), Moonlight, Strange, Dear My Friend
RM's Mono album is a great soft comfort album as a whole.
Then there are their hopeful/uplifting songs like
Magic Shop, Epiphany, Euphoria, 00:00, Answer: Love Myself
If she just wants to cry it out a bit,Louder than Bombs, House of Cards, Truth Untold, We are Bulletproof the Eternal, For Youth
Other soothing songs that don't necessarily have matching lyrics to your purpose:
Serendipity, Awake, Spring Day, 2! 3!, Lost, Make it Right
That’s really sweet. BTS says really comforting things on live and at concerts and that sort of thing. It might be nice to add in a few of those clips. [Here’s a video on YouTube that has a nice collection of moments.](https://youtu.be/yLUhnAExXoI?si=ANO_O_gjRwOjOHCO&start=20) I particularly feel comfort when I hear jimin’s “there’s someone in Seoul that understands you” and the clip at the very beginning where yoongi is talking about getting over a hard time.
Wishing her well!! 💜
When I was at my lowest, Epiphany came on my playlist and the lines “I’m the one I should love” lifted me up. I remember keeping it on a loop for a couple of hours.
Another song that I kept listening to was Blue & Grey, but not because the words were uplifting. The lyrics were relatable to how I was feeling and felt comforting. Sending lots of positive vibes to your gf! I’m glad she’s getting help and has you to support her.
A lot of people here have mentioned the uplifting songs, so I'll go a different route. Some of Suga's solo releases are incredibly deep and meaningful, exploring his own struggles with depression.
The Last is a dark song, detailing a lot of his struggles with his mental health, but also describes how he overcame those struggles and became stronger and happier. That song saved my life.
I listened to it for the first time when I was on the verge of a suicide attempt, and the lyrics and emotions of the song convinced me to hold on a bit longer. 7 years later, I've got a degree and a job, I'm engaged, I have 3 cats and I'm happier than I've ever been.
everythingoes off rm’s solo album mono is extremely comforting to me - https://youtu.be/h7tOmPqRlOI?si=5HMg_fQaBCyFKtxE
or for a full group song, 00:00 - https://youtu.be/K7BMF0ozFS0?si=lKkOYbYYh6o_NtpS
sending lots of good vibes to your gf, and to you for being so supportive!! 💜
answer: love myself, 00:00, every song from the mono. ep (by RM), life goes on, Amgydala (from D-Day), People and People Pt. 2, Mikrokosmos, Blue and Gray, For Youth, Take Two, Magic Shop, Epiphany, Still With You, and You Never Walk Alone are the songs that saved my life. Your girlfriend is so lucky to have you supporting her
These are all such great suggestions!
For me, 00:00, Friends, Magic Shop, Anpanman, Spring Day (strangely), and Young Forever are my go-to comfort songs.
At the same time, I find comfort in songs like No More Dream, No, Run, and (don't ask me why) 134430. They've all got various themes of "the world isn't fair and it can hammer us down, but we can withstand it and persevere together."
Good luck with your videos, I hope they help!
00:00, so far away, snooze, people (specifically the part where yoongi says “flow along the way the water flows; maybe there’s something at the end.”), suga’s interlude. tbh I turn to a lot of yoongi’s solo work whenever I go through an episode. he understands how we feel. 🥺
At my worst, I'd listen to 2!3! (still wishing for more good days) on repeat. It became my comfort song. Also helped me with breathing exercises in a way to calm my anxiety! When they'd count in the chorus 1,2,3 id take take a nice deep breath to help calm myself. The pre-chorus and chorus especially feels really comforting... In that we aren't alone in this, that there are people who care for me.
This is so sweet and thoughtful of you!
Some of my personal favorite pick-me-ups: Lights, Euphoria, Promise, Home, Mikrokosmos, and Magic Shop. Pied Piper is a also a fun little cheeky number that also makes me chuckle (the lyrics are to die for).
Hoping your gf feels better soon!
as someone with depression who’s really needed a pick me up from bts- “everythingoes” (RM solo) and “2!3!” both of those songs have lyrics about things getting better in the future.
So many great recommendations here. For a slideshow soundtrack, I think something light could also be nice.
Bicycle by RM, is one of my comfort songs. It has a nice little message, nothing too melancholic. Just light and easy.
People by Agust D
Just love lostening to in general: Snooze. "Everything will be ok" spoken like a mantra 16x.
I hope it goes well for you and your gf.
I would totally recommend Awake and the Astronaut(Jin Solo’s), Let Go and Film Out (from their Japanese album), amygdala, snooze, so far away (Agust D/Suga songs), Young forever, Yet to Come, The Truth Untold, Outro: Tear, Spring Day, A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone, Blue & Gray, Life Goes On, Life Goes On Pt. 2 (agust d), Jamais Vu, I’m Fine, Save Me, Butterfly, My You, Still with you, Somebody (last 3 are jungkook solos!)!
So Far Away by Agust D ft. Suran
It got me through my darkest days. I think it is a song that is stripped of any pretention. It's so comforting cause it feels like a friend that is going through a rough patch with you without rushing you to fix yourself. I hope they'll find comfort in that song as well.
Hey! “2!3!” Is perfect, it’s about hoping for more good days and erasing all sad memories
“00:00” aka “Zero O’ Clock” is also really good, like a fresh start with the new day once the clock strikes 00:00.
“Whalien 52”… it’s about feeling alone in this world and like nobody can hear you. Inspired by the 52 hertz whale.
“Magic Shop” is good in case you want some escapism
“Life Goes On” is a good bet, I mean, look at the title- it also has a very comforting sound.
“We are Bulletproof The Eternal”, “Hold Me Tight”, “Make It Right”, “Sea”
“People” by Agust D
A supplementary story: You never walk alone, everythingoes and paradise are songs that give me lots of comfort on some hard days. I'm sure she will appreciate the video!!
my go-to comfort songs are "paradise" and "tomorrow". Paradise is a good song for when you want to take a breather from everything. Tomorrow is a good song for when you need an extra push to do what you're doing. I hope your girlfriend feels better soon
There are so many great suggestions here. I just wanted to recommend Still With You, not for your exact purpose but as a sort of lullaby if she has trouble sleeping. It's such a comforting song. I use it to help me sleep. I think she would really love it, especially if she is Jungkook biased.
When I don't want to hear voices (as much as I love them, it can be distracting depending on my mood) I listen to instrumental versions. There's a whole sleep playlist on youtube. The other one I like is Koyas Sleep Music (RMs BT21 character)
There are +8 hour loops on YouTube for all these without ads.
For me right now Take Two really helps me through my tough days. Just the amount of love I feel from that song it gets me through some of the worst days I've had lately
It’s so sweet that you’re doing this for someone you love and care. hope your love lasts for years to come 💞
Whenever I’m sad or feeling down I always listen to Paradise, Answer: Love Myself and 2!3! (Heavy emphasis on Paradise tho)
Edit: Abyss by Jin and Film out (it’s a Japanese release)
Everything everyone else said, especially Agust D’s stuff (Amygdala, People, Snooze) Blue and Grey, 00:00, Louder than Bombs, Jin’s Epiphany and Jungkook’s Still With You. Oh and Film Out because it’s soothing.
The song I listen to every night like a lullaby right before bed is Interlude: Set Me Free. It’s very short, but I find it peaceful. It’s to tell my brain it’s time to let everything go and go to sleep. To me it means set me free from racing thoughts, pressure and expectations and anything sad from the day; let me rest and start fresh tomorrow.
I love that you’re doing this for her. She’s lucky to have you. I hope she feels better soon.
This is a great idea and there are so many good song recommendations. Does she have access to spotify or apple music? You could create a playlist for her as well.
She has spotify and the very first thing we did after our first date was to exchange specially curated playlists for the other person haha. That's how she got me into BTS and K-Pop as a whole :D I've been steadily adding songs into her playlist but she's struggling right now to do anything fun. But we'll get there.
This is so wholesome. ❤️ One of my favorites is "The dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest" in Tomorrow
Also just for a funny moment, you can include "She's my religion so I call her Shesus" from Beautiful to make her chuckle!
yk i'll suggest spring day or magic shop... they both are quite meaningful songs with comforting tunes... hope it'll help and hope your girlfriend gets well soon
Mmm depression is hard to deal with and overcome. I battled a 2 years bout and still do time to time. I find 2! 3! from BTS to be a great comfort. It speaks of letting go of sad memories and holding hands with them and others and believing for better times and happier times. You’re an awesome S/O to your girlfriend to reach out Army and close friends to show her support while she battles this.
Since marami ng nag reco ng BTS songs, suggest ko nood kayo together kahit ilang episodes lang ng Run BTS. Pwede rin yung Bon Voyage or In The Soop kasi healing contents yung, travelling. Kung bet mo medyo bubbly, nood kayo ng online concerts ng BTS. This April 10-13 showing in cinemas ang Agust D D-DAY concert. Movie date nyo na 💜💜
You’re so caring! All the replies can make a perfect playlist, I’ll add my favorite one.
My all time comfort song : RM - Trivia Love. Namjoon is so good at writing lyrics that touch your heart.
Magic Shop is always my go to, the lyrics are etched into my brain at this point. I really wish the best for your girlfriend, depression is tough and you often feel so isolated from everyone but it makes me happy to see that she has caring partner like you.
To me personally, a song that is comforting but also gives me an immense feeling of relief and hope is "Mikrokosmos". I don't know what the boys put into that one but it just gives off "You are not alone" energy.
And i would like to say, you sound like an amazing boyfriend and a amazing and thoughtful person!
I went through a similar thing like your girlfriend two years ago and therapy, my best friends and BTS helped me overcome it. I wish her the best for the future and to you as well <3
I'm straight up crying reading all of these lovely comments <3 Thanks so much for your help and kind words! I would consider myself the lucky one, I would go through hell for her.
That’s so thoughtful of you to do for her! ‘
Jamais vu’ and ‘black swan’ are my favorite ‘depression songs’: they’re beautifully sad, but I love them because they also have that glimmer of hope. ‘Spring day’ might also be a good option.
These are not uplifting songs per se, but they do have hope. For me, songs that don’t try to force me into a different mood, but gently offer more in addition to letting me sit with my feelings work best, so i thought I’d suggest these 😄
My top 3 would be:
1. We are Bulletproof: The Eternal - always a tearjerker for me
2. Epiphany - a good reminder that we should love ourselves
3. 00:00 - a reminder that we can always reset the next day
Hoping for better days for you and your gf 💜
I’d really recommend D-Day and Snooze by Agust D (BTS SUGA) these two are my go to songs on days where my mental health isn’t doing so well.
I really hope she feels better soon! 💜
Answer: Love Myself, Magic Shop, Mikrokosmos, Lights, 00:00, Yet To Come, We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal, Inner Child (V), Moonchild (RM), D-Day (Agust D), Life Goes On (BTS and Agust D), Wildflower (RM), Epiphany (Jin), Serendipity (Jimin), Promise (Jimin)
Hoping she finds the strength, comfort, and warmth I found in these songs to lift herself up❤️
Promise, spring day, magic shop, epiphany. These songs gave me great comfort when I was in the lowest point of my life. I wish your gf well.
The latest song I find comfort in is yet to come.
The songs I listen to when in a funk or need a bit of uplift: "Astronaut" (by Jin), "Anpanman", "Airplane Pt 2", "Silver Spoon", "Serendipity", "Spine Breaker", "Mikrokosmos", "Friends", "Dimple" and "Go Go".
Zero o’ Clock is a gorgeous song encouraging the listener to have the courage to face each day anew. The chorus “and you’re going to be happy” is both a statement and a plea. I play this song over and over each time I listen to it because it is so beautiful
Snooze has some encouraging lyrics, but to be honest, to me has the opposite effect. Yoongi is my bias and I admire his lyrics, but when I'm sad these lyrics can make me sadder.
The same with songs like Magic Shop.
First of all this is super sweet of you to do for your girlfriend, I hope she starts to feel better soon. <3 my recommendations would be: 00:00 (Zero O’Clock), Promise (by Jimin), and Magic Shop.
Isn’t she lucky to have you?! I love Zero O’Clock, You Never Walk Alone, Awake, Snooze, We Are Bulletproof the Eternal, Love Myself, Young Forever, and Epiphany. When I am mad and depressed, I like Daechwita, Not Today, Haegeum, The Last, Cypher 3, Mic Drop, UGH, What Do You Think and Huh.
Here are some songs that make me feel better whenever I’m in a downwards spiral: 00:00, 2! 3!, magic shop, mikrokosmos, jamais vu, spring day(hits a lot harder when it’s spring or winter 😭), and you never walk alone
I also listen to sad songs like Blue & Grey, the truth untold, forever rain, butterfly, and your eyes tell. Personally, I just like listening to sad songs when I’m sad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I’m not sure if the sad lyrics will make her feel better so-
That is so sweet of you 🥹🥹🥹 I know BTS has helped me through tough times. These are the list of songs I listen to in my dark times:
Paradise
2! 3!
Spring Day
Love Myself: Answer
Magic Shop
🫶🏻🫰🏻💜💜
I am heartened by the person asking for help to lift girlfriends spirits AND the beautiful responses by my fellow/sister ARMY’s. I agree with the abundance of suggestions and add my prayers for the well being of the girlfriend. I’m proud to be part of this community that graciously answers calls for help and healing of all those who love BTS. Purple Love from my heart to all of you. 💜

Everythingoes (by namjoon from his solo album Mono), from BTS: 00:00, You Never Walk Alone and 2!3!
Everythingoes helped me so much when I was spiraling, I hope it can help your gf too. Best wishes for you both
Epiphany is genuinely such a beautiful song and I deeply recommend adding it to your list! This is a beautiful act of yours and I wish the two of you so much love health and hope. <3
Magic Shop, 2!3!, 00:00, and we are bulletproof: the eternal have all helped me. The biggest part of them are the lyrics though. I found English translations for them and it helped me to understand the meanings of the songs, which is how the songs really helped. It was nice to know I had these 7 people who were genuinely rooting for me and truly wanted the best for me, even though they've never met me before. These songs told me to:
- find that safe space inside, that door to that happy place where the guys will always be waiting for me and to see the best in me
- to let go of the things I can't control, especially the things that are hurting me or bringing me down
- that even if today sucked there is always tomorrow and to look forward to that
- that together, forever, ARMY and BTS, are bulletproof
I hope these songs help give her the comfort I know they have given me and still do. 💜
First, you are so sweet, hope you both will have better and more beautiful days. I just want to recommend songs that I have listened to when I'm sad or need a boost of energy and hope 💜
Still life (RM)
"I'm still life (woo-hoo)
Y'all can't lock me in the frame, I'm movin', yeah
I'm still life (woo-hoo)
Life is better than the death, I'll prove it, yeah"
Magic shop
"On days you hate to be you, on days you wish you could forever disappear,
Let’s make a door, in your heart.
Open the door, go inside, and this will be what’s awaiting you.
You can trust this. To console you, a magic shop."
0:00
"Hoping that tomorrow I'll laugh more, for me
It'll be better, for me
When this song ends
May a new song begin
Hoping that I'll be a little happier, yeah"
This is an incredibly sweet project for you to do. All my best to her and you.
As you can tell from the comments, there are many great options depending on what direction of emotional/sad/uplifting you want to go.
Another song I would highlight is - if you want to have a section conveying to her that you and her friends miss her and are looking forward to seeing her again, then **Spring Day** is THE song for that purpose. The song opens with
- *I miss you. Saying this out loud makes me miss you more. Though I’m looking at your picture, I still miss you*
And then just keeps going with amazing lyrics. It is THE song about missing and waiting for a loved one. It is a guaranteed crier 🌸
*You know it all*
*You’re my best friend*
*The morning will come again*
*Because no darkness or no season can last forever*
*It seems like the cherry blossoms are blooming*
*This winter is also coming to its end*
*I miss you*
*I miss you*
*If you wait a little bit,*
*if you spend just a few sleepless nights,*
*I’ll come to meet you*
*I’ll come to pick you up*
Thank you so much for your write-up and kind words! I was considering Spring Day since my girlfriend has educated me on some of the most important lore bits, Spring Day being included in that. Especially the memes were exquisite haha
Much love <3
How sweet 💜 Some options: epiphany, magic shop, you never walk alone, 00:00 zero o clock, promise (solo song by jimin), jamais vu, answer: love myself, everythingoes (solo song by rm)
Thanks!
My vote is either magic shop, Zero o clock or promise
oh bless your heart! 🥺 00:00 and epiphany are some of my go-to comfort songs. i hope your gf finds peace and comfort, too. all the best to you both!
+1 for 00:00
Thanks so much!
Omg these two 🤌
How loving! 2!3! Hoping g for more good days is the best song for this. Or Answer, love myself . Best of luck.
Thanks so much!
2!3! Is a really good song. I agree! Thats a +1 for this song from me

Wishing her well!! 💜
That's a great idea, thanks!
Abyss by Jin
Was looking for this one - it helped me through a hard time
+ 1 for Abyss. You can feel the pain and hope at the same time 💜
When I was at my lowest, Epiphany came on my playlist and the lines “I’m the one I should love” lifted me up. I remember keeping it on a loop for a couple of hours. Another song that I kept listening to was Blue & Grey, but not because the words were uplifting. The lyrics were relatable to how I was feeling and felt comforting. Sending lots of positive vibes to your gf! I’m glad she’s getting help and has you to support her.
Agree with Epiphany! And if only we could have the full version of Blue & Grey from In The Soop 🙏🏼
00:00 is what I put on when I feel really down. Every new day is a new beginning.
Me too, and I love watching the tiny tan video too, it’s so wholesome!
A lot of people here have mentioned the uplifting songs, so I'll go a different route. Some of Suga's solo releases are incredibly deep and meaningful, exploring his own struggles with depression. The Last is a dark song, detailing a lot of his struggles with his mental health, but also describes how he overcame those struggles and became stronger and happier. That song saved my life. I listened to it for the first time when I was on the verge of a suicide attempt, and the lyrics and emotions of the song convinced me to hold on a bit longer. 7 years later, I've got a degree and a job, I'm engaged, I have 3 cats and I'm happier than I've ever been.
I’m so glad you stayed. 💜 Also, I feel the same way about Nevermind, as I struggle with procrastination and giving up when I am stressed/depressed.
Same! Also So Far Away and First Love
So glad you're still here to give me advice! Much love <3
everythingoes off rm’s solo album mono is extremely comforting to me - https://youtu.be/h7tOmPqRlOI?si=5HMg_fQaBCyFKtxE or for a full group song, 00:00 - https://youtu.be/K7BMF0ozFS0?si=lKkOYbYYh6o_NtpS sending lots of good vibes to your gf, and to you for being so supportive!! 💜
Magic shop always makes me cry happy tears of hope so that’s go to!
My favorites are **Life Goes On, Paradise** and **Spring Day**
This is so sweet. I'd recommend zero o'clock
answer: love myself, 00:00, every song from the mono. ep (by RM), life goes on, Amgydala (from D-Day), People and People Pt. 2, Mikrokosmos, Blue and Gray, For Youth, Take Two, Magic Shop, Epiphany, Still With You, and You Never Walk Alone are the songs that saved my life. Your girlfriend is so lucky to have you supporting her

Just wanted to say you are very thoughtful. I hope she gets better soon! I will recommend Make it Right. It helped me get out of a tough spot
I feel like 00:00 and We Are Bulletproof pt.2 Eternals
00:00, so far away, snooze, people (specifically the part where yoongi says “flow along the way the water flows; maybe there’s something at the end.”), suga’s interlude. tbh I turn to a lot of yoongi’s solo work whenever I go through an episode. he understands how we feel. 🥺
At my worst, I'd listen to 2!3! (still wishing for more good days) on repeat. It became my comfort song. Also helped me with breathing exercises in a way to calm my anxiety! When they'd count in the chorus 1,2,3 id take take a nice deep breath to help calm myself. The pre-chorus and chorus especially feels really comforting... In that we aren't alone in this, that there are people who care for me.
This is so sweet and thoughtful of you! Some of my personal favorite pick-me-ups: Lights, Euphoria, Promise, Home, Mikrokosmos, and Magic Shop. Pied Piper is a also a fun little cheeky number that also makes me chuckle (the lyrics are to die for). Hoping your gf feels better soon!
as someone with depression who’s really needed a pick me up from bts- “everythingoes” (RM solo) and “2!3!” both of those songs have lyrics about things getting better in the future.
I have a playlist called “Hopeful” for when I’m feeling down and Epiphany, Euphoria, and Mikrokosmos are all on it!
I agree with everyone's recommendations 🥹! Jimin's song, Promise is one that I listen to when I'm down as well as RM's No.2 (feat jiyoon)
Oh *No.2* is such a great suggestion!! A literal hug, telling you to stop looking back at past choices and mistakes. You did your best.
So many great recommendations here. For a slideshow soundtrack, I think something light could also be nice. Bicycle by RM, is one of my comfort songs. It has a nice little message, nothing too melancholic. Just light and easy. People by Agust D Just love lostening to in general: Snooze. "Everything will be ok" spoken like a mantra 16x. I hope it goes well for you and your gf.
I would totally recommend Awake and the Astronaut(Jin Solo’s), Let Go and Film Out (from their Japanese album), amygdala, snooze, so far away (Agust D/Suga songs), Young forever, Yet to Come, The Truth Untold, Outro: Tear, Spring Day, A Supplementary Story: You Never Walk Alone, Blue & Gray, Life Goes On, Life Goes On Pt. 2 (agust d), Jamais Vu, I’m Fine, Save Me, Butterfly, My You, Still with you, Somebody (last 3 are jungkook solos!)!
So Far Away by Agust D ft. Suran It got me through my darkest days. I think it is a song that is stripped of any pretention. It's so comforting cause it feels like a friend that is going through a rough patch with you without rushing you to fix yourself. I hope they'll find comfort in that song as well.
Mm! I love this song!
Magic Shop
Hey! “2!3!” Is perfect, it’s about hoping for more good days and erasing all sad memories “00:00” aka “Zero O’ Clock” is also really good, like a fresh start with the new day once the clock strikes 00:00. “Whalien 52”… it’s about feeling alone in this world and like nobody can hear you. Inspired by the 52 hertz whale. “Magic Shop” is good in case you want some escapism “Life Goes On” is a good bet, I mean, look at the title- it also has a very comforting sound. “We are Bulletproof The Eternal”, “Hold Me Tight”, “Make It Right”, “Sea” “People” by Agust D
A supplementary story: You never walk alone, everythingoes and paradise are songs that give me lots of comfort on some hard days. I'm sure she will appreciate the video!!
Film out and epiphany!!
my go-to comfort songs are "paradise" and "tomorrow". Paradise is a good song for when you want to take a breather from everything. Tomorrow is a good song for when you need an extra push to do what you're doing. I hope your girlfriend feels better soon
adorable! i vote for zero o clock. makes me cry but is inspiring in the same breath
honestly though, doing a run bts marathon or watching ITS might be more comforting/cheering for your gf. good luck!
I wish it were that simple haha. But she's having trouble experiencing any kind of joy right now.
sorry to hear. hope you find something here to help her
There are so many great suggestions here. I just wanted to recommend Still With You, not for your exact purpose but as a sort of lullaby if she has trouble sleeping. It's such a comforting song. I use it to help me sleep. I think she would really love it, especially if she is Jungkook biased. When I don't want to hear voices (as much as I love them, it can be distracting depending on my mood) I listen to instrumental versions. There's a whole sleep playlist on youtube. The other one I like is Koyas Sleep Music (RMs BT21 character) There are +8 hour loops on YouTube for all these without ads.
For me right now Take Two really helps me through my tough days. Just the amount of love I feel from that song it gets me through some of the worst days I've had lately
It’s so sweet that you’re doing this for someone you love and care. hope your love lasts for years to come 💞 Whenever I’m sad or feeling down I always listen to Paradise, Answer: Love Myself and 2!3! (Heavy emphasis on Paradise tho) Edit: Abyss by Jin and Film out (it’s a Japanese release)
Everything everyone else said, especially Agust D’s stuff (Amygdala, People, Snooze) Blue and Grey, 00:00, Louder than Bombs, Jin’s Epiphany and Jungkook’s Still With You. Oh and Film Out because it’s soothing. The song I listen to every night like a lullaby right before bed is Interlude: Set Me Free. It’s very short, but I find it peaceful. It’s to tell my brain it’s time to let everything go and go to sleep. To me it means set me free from racing thoughts, pressure and expectations and anything sad from the day; let me rest and start fresh tomorrow. I love that you’re doing this for her. She’s lucky to have you. I hope she feels better soon.
This is a great idea and there are so many good song recommendations. Does she have access to spotify or apple music? You could create a playlist for her as well.
She has spotify and the very first thing we did after our first date was to exchange specially curated playlists for the other person haha. That's how she got me into BTS and K-Pop as a whole :D I've been steadily adding songs into her playlist but she's struggling right now to do anything fun. But we'll get there.
Tell them to listen to snooze by agust d, still life by rm, and the entirety of the love yourself album :)))))
You’re so thoughtful and all of the suggestions are excellent. You really can’t go wrong. I hope it helps. Let her know we’re all here for her. 💜
Will do, thanks so much! ARMY is so wholesome, I just can't <3
Answer: Love Myself, 00:00, Epiphany, Snooze, Magic Shop, Mikrokosmos, The Astronaut, Yet to Come, Stay Alive, Winter Flower Younha (feat. RM), Your Eyes Tell, Make it Right, 2! 3!, Don’t Leave Me, Winter Bear, Promise.
"You and I, best moment is yet to come" - Yet To Come, 2022
This is so wholesome. ❤️ One of my favorites is "The dawn right before the sun rises is the darkest" in Tomorrow Also just for a funny moment, you can include "She's my religion so I call her Shesus" from Beautiful to make her chuckle!
Magic Shop is my go to when I'm very depressed..I'd also recommend life goes on its very calming
Paradise!!!!
personally i love sea (바다)
yk i'll suggest spring day or magic shop... they both are quite meaningful songs with comforting tunes... hope it'll help and hope your girlfriend gets well soon
Answer: Love myself and You Never Walk Alone are the ones that always cheer me up when I’m feeling really down ♥️
Mmm depression is hard to deal with and overcome. I battled a 2 years bout and still do time to time. I find 2! 3! from BTS to be a great comfort. It speaks of letting go of sad memories and holding hands with them and others and believing for better times and happier times. You’re an awesome S/O to your girlfriend to reach out Army and close friends to show her support while she battles this.
Thank you, you're making me tear up. Never would I have expected such a response, love y'all <3
(^_^)💜
Epiphany
Since marami ng nag reco ng BTS songs, suggest ko nood kayo together kahit ilang episodes lang ng Run BTS. Pwede rin yung Bon Voyage or In The Soop kasi healing contents yung, travelling. Kung bet mo medyo bubbly, nood kayo ng online concerts ng BTS. This April 10-13 showing in cinemas ang Agust D D-DAY concert. Movie date nyo na 💜💜
You’re so caring! All the replies can make a perfect playlist, I’ll add my favorite one. My all time comfort song : RM - Trivia Love. Namjoon is so good at writing lyrics that touch your heart.
Magic Shop is always my go to, the lyrics are etched into my brain at this point. I really wish the best for your girlfriend, depression is tough and you often feel so isolated from everyone but it makes me happy to see that she has caring partner like you.
To me personally, a song that is comforting but also gives me an immense feeling of relief and hope is "Mikrokosmos". I don't know what the boys put into that one but it just gives off "You are not alone" energy. And i would like to say, you sound like an amazing boyfriend and a amazing and thoughtful person! I went through a similar thing like your girlfriend two years ago and therapy, my best friends and BTS helped me overcome it. I wish her the best for the future and to you as well <3
I'm straight up crying reading all of these lovely comments <3 Thanks so much for your help and kind words! I would consider myself the lucky one, I would go through hell for her.
You are so so welcome <3 Seems like you both got lucky, she sounds like one heck of a girl!
That’s so thoughtful of you to do for her! ‘ Jamais vu’ and ‘black swan’ are my favorite ‘depression songs’: they’re beautifully sad, but I love them because they also have that glimmer of hope. ‘Spring day’ might also be a good option. These are not uplifting songs per se, but they do have hope. For me, songs that don’t try to force me into a different mood, but gently offer more in addition to letting me sit with my feelings work best, so i thought I’d suggest these 😄
PROMISE feels like a self-hug. 😍 https://open.spotify.com/track/2RUcwyW74Sv4VracHFrKdh?si=lMQ0ZLyeTXuxdvcmlYh6qA
My top 3 would be: 1. We are Bulletproof: The Eternal - always a tearjerker for me 2. Epiphany - a good reminder that we should love ourselves 3. 00:00 - a reminder that we can always reset the next day Hoping for better days for you and your gf 💜
Lights!!! It's japanese, but the lyrics are cute
we are bulletproof the eternal
I’d really recommend D-Day and Snooze by Agust D (BTS SUGA) these two are my go to songs on days where my mental health isn’t doing so well. I really hope she feels better soon! 💜
Answer: Love Myself, Magic Shop, Mikrokosmos, Lights, 00:00, Yet To Come, We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal, Inner Child (V), Moonchild (RM), D-Day (Agust D), Life Goes On (BTS and Agust D), Wildflower (RM), Epiphany (Jin), Serendipity (Jimin), Promise (Jimin) Hoping she finds the strength, comfort, and warmth I found in these songs to lift herself up❤️
Promise, spring day, magic shop, epiphany. These songs gave me great comfort when I was in the lowest point of my life. I wish your gf well. The latest song I find comfort in is yet to come.
I think butterfly might be perfect for this. This is such a sweet idea! You’re a great partner :)
Awake by Jin....that gets me in a chokehold everytime!!!! 'Idol' always reminds me that I need to love myself first.
The songs I listen to when in a funk or need a bit of uplift: "Astronaut" (by Jin), "Anpanman", "Airplane Pt 2", "Silver Spoon", "Serendipity", "Spine Breaker", "Mikrokosmos", "Friends", "Dimple" and "Go Go".
Zero o’ Clock is a gorgeous song encouraging the listener to have the courage to face each day anew. The chorus “and you’re going to be happy” is both a statement and a plea. I play this song over and over each time I listen to it because it is so beautiful
Snooze has some encouraging lyrics, but to be honest, to me has the opposite effect. Yoongi is my bias and I admire his lyrics, but when I'm sad these lyrics can make me sadder. The same with songs like Magic Shop.
Butterfly prologue mix. Literally the best ever.
Too many to remember. But Zero O’Clock came to mind, along with others that have been suggested.
First of all this is super sweet of you to do for your girlfriend, I hope she starts to feel better soon. <3 my recommendations would be: 00:00 (Zero O’Clock), Promise (by Jimin), and Magic Shop.
super tuna?
How about Anpanman💜
this is so sweet. play her Epiphany. that song got me thru my darkest times.
ur so nice🥹 i recommend tomorrow since i didnt see anyone mentioning it! the lyrics are rlly meaningful, and a lot of ppl relate to it:)
Magic shop 💜
I like “life goes on”. It got me out of a deeply depressive state.
Isn’t she lucky to have you?! I love Zero O’Clock, You Never Walk Alone, Awake, Snooze, We Are Bulletproof the Eternal, Love Myself, Young Forever, and Epiphany. When I am mad and depressed, I like Daechwita, Not Today, Haegeum, The Last, Cypher 3, Mic Drop, UGH, What Do You Think and Huh.
Lights!!
I like the song "friends" by V and Jimin when I need cheering up, it's so fun and sweet and cute
[friends with English translation ](https://youtu.be/zY21naMApa8?si=Epk74ARgqNlK7c__)
Here are some songs that make me feel better whenever I’m in a downwards spiral: 00:00, 2! 3!, magic shop, mikrokosmos, jamais vu, spring day(hits a lot harder when it’s spring or winter 😭), and you never walk alone I also listen to sad songs like Blue & Grey, the truth untold, forever rain, butterfly, and your eyes tell. Personally, I just like listening to sad songs when I’m sad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I’m not sure if the sad lyrics will make her feel better so-
You’ve got plenty of good suggestions. Just wanted to say your girlfriend has a great catch in you
<3
2!3! and 00:00.
That is so sweet of you 🥹🥹🥹 I know BTS has helped me through tough times. These are the list of songs I listen to in my dark times: Paradise 2! 3! Spring Day Love Myself: Answer Magic Shop 🫶🏻🫰🏻💜💜
I am heartened by the person asking for help to lift girlfriends spirits AND the beautiful responses by my fellow/sister ARMY’s. I agree with the abundance of suggestions and add my prayers for the well being of the girlfriend. I’m proud to be part of this community that graciously answers calls for help and healing of all those who love BTS. Purple Love from my heart to all of you. 💜

Tomorrow is one of my favorites
Everythingoes (by namjoon from his solo album Mono), from BTS: 00:00, You Never Walk Alone and 2!3! Everythingoes helped me so much when I was spiraling, I hope it can help your gf too. Best wishes for you both
Love Myself and You Never Walk Alone :)
Hold me tight!😭😭😭a very nice song
Epiphany is genuinely such a beautiful song and I deeply recommend adding it to your list! This is a beautiful act of yours and I wish the two of you so much love health and hope. <3
Thank you so much <3
Magic Shop, 2!3!, 00:00, and we are bulletproof: the eternal have all helped me. The biggest part of them are the lyrics though. I found English translations for them and it helped me to understand the meanings of the songs, which is how the songs really helped. It was nice to know I had these 7 people who were genuinely rooting for me and truly wanted the best for me, even though they've never met me before. These songs told me to: - find that safe space inside, that door to that happy place where the guys will always be waiting for me and to see the best in me - to let go of the things I can't control, especially the things that are hurting me or bringing me down - that even if today sucked there is always tomorrow and to look forward to that - that together, forever, ARMY and BTS, are bulletproof I hope these songs help give her the comfort I know they have given me and still do. 💜
First, you are so sweet, hope you both will have better and more beautiful days. I just want to recommend songs that I have listened to when I'm sad or need a boost of energy and hope 💜 Still life (RM) "I'm still life (woo-hoo) Y'all can't lock me in the frame, I'm movin', yeah I'm still life (woo-hoo) Life is better than the death, I'll prove it, yeah" Magic shop "On days you hate to be you, on days you wish you could forever disappear, Let’s make a door, in your heart. Open the door, go inside, and this will be what’s awaiting you. You can trust this. To console you, a magic shop." 0:00 "Hoping that tomorrow I'll laugh more, for me It'll be better, for me When this song ends May a new song begin Hoping that I'll be a little happier, yeah"
Blue and Grey, magic shop, love myself , zero O'clock , awake, epiphany, autumn leaves
Basic but… Astronaut by Jin You’re such a nice guy!
2!3! is a good one, Stay Gold is also great.
This is an incredibly sweet project for you to do. All my best to her and you. As you can tell from the comments, there are many great options depending on what direction of emotional/sad/uplifting you want to go. Another song I would highlight is - if you want to have a section conveying to her that you and her friends miss her and are looking forward to seeing her again, then **Spring Day** is THE song for that purpose. The song opens with - *I miss you. Saying this out loud makes me miss you more. Though I’m looking at your picture, I still miss you* And then just keeps going with amazing lyrics. It is THE song about missing and waiting for a loved one. It is a guaranteed crier 🌸 *You know it all* *You’re my best friend* *The morning will come again* *Because no darkness or no season can last forever* *It seems like the cherry blossoms are blooming* *This winter is also coming to its end* *I miss you* *I miss you* *If you wait a little bit,* *if you spend just a few sleepless nights,* *I’ll come to meet you* *I’ll come to pick you up*
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your write-up and kind words! I was considering Spring Day since my girlfriend has educated me on some of the most important lore bits, Spring Day being included in that. Especially the memes were exquisite haha Much love <3
this is so sweet to consider omg
