Next To Me by Otto Knows

Young love can be the most beautiful and heartbreaking time in a person’s life. You know, that first love that makes you believe in all the fairytales and what the grownups have been talking about all along. You finally get it, but it can feel really cold being alone when it comes to an end.

This sad song has the early 2000s feel with the lyrics of a struggling musician and his girl back home who isn’t feeling it anymore while he’s out there on the road with other girls. However, he can’t stop thinking about her. It’s a classic musician’s tale, up there with A Star is Born.

Daisy by Zedd

Destiny by Markus Schulz
