Can you suggest some energetic, dream-like alternative songs? (midwest.social)

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?

I have a playlist called Kodak Daydreams that be what you're looking for. It's mostly dreampop and shoegaze

Ten Thousand Years Won't Save Your Life by the band Hammock is like this, I wouldn't call it alternative, but wow, it opens up, takes you on a trip, gently sets you down.

Big shoegaze fan here. Give decayfm.com a listen. I didn’t see Slowdive mentioned but you should give them a listen.
