it's so obvious how you picked songs to show how Liyue left Zhongli's arms and jumped off the cliff, letting humans fly and rule Liyue, yet Zhongli is always watching knowing if he has to step in, he can
Holy shit I've only discovered you recently but all of your playlist are absolutely elite!! I'm loving the vibe of this one specifically so far, the music used is just amazing (also I started crying when Apotheoisis played, I'm such a sucker for Journey) Thank you for your hard work!!
Zhongli: The Listener ー He remembered too much. That had been his ruin for as long as he could recall. He remembered far too much. And he never forgot. How heavy a burden it had proved to be over the course of his immortal lifespan. "Mr. Zhongli, how are you these days?" Madame Ping's gentle voice startled him from his silence. "You've hardly touched your tea. And you're the one to have invited me here!" She said so in jest, he knew, but he could not bring himself to laugh along with her. His expression remained unchanged. He was far too tired. Ping frowned. "What's troubling you, dear?" It was ridiculous for her to be calling him such words of endearment, as if she were an old woman comforting a grandson, especially so when realizing he was likely thousands of lifetimes older than she. But in this moment maybe she knew he needed such solace. Even gods could become lonely. "Please, do not worry about me. I was merely...lost in my thoughts," he said, his voice gruff. He brought his cup to his lips and took a long sip, clearing his throat. "You need not concern yourself," he said with a tenderness so profound, it felt stolen from a place far inside himself. "You are clearly bothered by something, dear." Ping chuckled once more, evidently entertained by his befuddled manners this evening. He was forgetting himself, acting strangely in her eyes, being childish in his gloom. He knew. He knew all of this. And yet… And yet? Why had he asked her to tea? Because she was one of the few who might understand his sentiments? "Is it me? Am I poor company?" she joked. "I appreciate your concern. None of my troubles are your fault," he assured, but even as he did so, his voice trembled into a weak utterance. "It's me. Something is...wrong, inside me. I feel it inside my stomach and my chest and I don't know what to do." Grieving. Grieving. Constantly grieving and missing and gazing back on times that no longer existed. He couldn't stop. He felt as far removed as legend & myth, full of longing and reminiscence, attempting to find belonging in this new era of existence. But when he looked across his nation, he saw the ruins of places he once walked and the memories only he now held. And when he stood among the crowds of the city he had witnessed the very founding of, it was filled with faces and voices he did not recognize. And they, too, did not recognize him either. Memories filled his body as much as blood and bone. Sometimes, the past and the future and the present began to become so pressing on either side that he found little room for himself between them. And when alone at night, standing in the still air, listening to the passing world, he found himself desiring for time to be pushed back. To no longer be made of memories, but to be living them again. He desired to be there again. Again, and again. To hear their voices and laughter, to see their faces, to touch and hold themーthe one's whose names only he now knew. To be sat around the stone table of Aocang with his companions, to walk the foot trails of Guili Plains, to listen to their stories, to see them just once more. Again. He begged everything again. But the world remained as it always did, passing him by as if he were hardly a part of it at all. He ended an era with his own two hands, forging a new one in place of it. A millennia had come and gone, the world so strangely altered now. Perhaps this was the imposition placed upon him by the natural order of this world. He would remain the same. And everyone, everything, would move on without him. Who was a god meant to pray to, the way mortals did, when faced with despair? When faced with the horrors of being left behind? He had asked such a question of himself many, many times. He surmised that there might always be a whisper of loneliness running through him. Unchanging stone, immovable earth...even one such as himself. Someday all of life may disappear. And yet the world went on despite it all. And he did too. But a heart of stone is a heart nonetheless. When, he wondered, had the cracks begun to form? He kept convincing himself that the end of his time has not yet come. Until one drizzly day, he stood motionless among the passing crowds, asking himself: have I already finished my duties? Am I...no longer needed? "You remember too much," Madame Ping said, pulling him from his endless rumination. "It's exhausting work, holding onto all that. Carrying it everywhere, everyday, all the time." Her voice softened. "You deserve peace now, Morax. You've worked hard. So very hard. You should begin enjoying all that you’ve cultivated." His chest tightened. "Why don't you..." She trailed off as she considered her words. "Why don't you stop holding onto it all?" He sat and sat, mulling over her question. The city bustled around them, voices and faces passing by in blurs. The scent of the sea drifted off the harbor, carrying a gentle breeze that sent the hanging lanterns dancing with golden light. The steaming tea reflected himself back at him. Was that okay? Could he truly do that? This was the world now, and although he grieved, might he also dare to hope? This heavy weight that had been upon his shoulders for longer than he could bring himself to admit, where exactly was he meant to put it all? "I would like to," he finally began to say, "...I will do as you suggest. I will try to put it all down." Madame Ping smiled. "You are wise and your knowledge is vast, but you need not be told as much. You are already well aware. Speak about your thoughts and histories. People will listen. I promise you." He remained to be the revered "listener", a keeper of history and bygones; among the last to remain of such times. Yes… Perhaps it was finally time. Perhaps it was finally time he shared his own story. (posting this here, since it's too long to put in the description of the video.)
I've been waiting for you to make a playlist like this for him. The story along with it made me emotional, verbalizing what I couldn't describe whenever someone asks why I like him. His first birthday message sold me into playing GI since Jan 2021, and Liyue is still my favorite place because of him (Chenyu Vale made me fall in love with the place all over again) Thank you so much for the artistry you put out into the world. Your efforts are very appreciated. ❤
it is crazy to think how much zhongli have witnessed, and yet, there are still much before his "birth". I love the lore of this game and how deep it is. Can't wait for more
I remember as a broke student I prayed to god so i can have Zhongli on his banner. Now it has been more than 3 years. I have a C5 Zhongli and will have a Zhongli C6. My admiration for him never faded. He is wise and knowledgeable, and humble. I am proud of sharing the same value with him related to asking for a sample.
War of Heart is truly something else. On the other hand, I finally realised the parallel between Liyue and Inazuma, why do the next region is somewhere oceans apart when Sumeru is literally right there-joint with Liyue in the map? It's fascinating to see how ready Zhongli is to welcome change with open arms. "Liyue is no longer Morax's Liyue." "When the door opens, it's time to leave." Then, immediately we are shown the other side of that literal same coin in Inazuma with Ei trying to hold onto the little that remain of what she knows from the time she and her sister reign the nation. I really love this humanisation part. Not everyone is good at goodbyes and how grief never discriminate, not even to a God.
hoyoverse can release a bunch of other new male characters and zhongli will remain the hottest, most eloquent with the best characterization among them all at least according to me
Me, as a Zhongli kinnie, main, and he being my comfort character, İ can say that this is an elegant and beautiful work. Keep going!! (Sorry for my eng btw)
This literally feels like shifting between realities and worlds. Literally feels like walking on the streets and roads of Ancient Liyue- holy moly. God tier playlist Winter 💞💓
I love him from every part of my soul and from the bottom of my heart. I can't tell why this man change my whole life and make me want to live. I want to live in Liyue with him. I want to travel with him. I want to listen to him the whole journey even if he tell the most insignificant details of a story that I already know. I love this man. I want him to be happy. I want him to feel free, to feel the live that he always want. I hope he can live one life with his friends, the yakshas, the adepti, azdaha and all the people he loved in his life of "Zhongli" I want him to be the happier man that we ever seen because I loved him so much
Your playlists are a great source of comfort, feels like it’s only me, Zhongli, and Liyue while everything else is a blur 😭 Beautiful character with a beautiful playlist, the perfect combination. Truly, thank you so much Winter. I might sound rude, but it makes remember a zhongli lofi playlist you made and i just found out that it’s nowhere to be found. That playlist hits home to me, and one of the only source of peace between my sadness, I used to fell asleep peacefully hearing the playlist. It’s selfish of me but i was wondering what happened to the playlist?
I love this sm omg I love how in 13:56 what zhongli is saying perfectly lines up with Lana del Rey’s lyrics in young and beautiful. “I’ve seen the world, done it all, had my cake now…~~”
Never in my life has a playlist been so magical and captivating. It's like I'm experiencing a golden moment that is stagnant and rich, a moment that never seems to flee. It's really amazing what you create. This playlist is certainly one of a kind
@@f4llenleaves well uni work is keeping me busy so it might take time but if you wish to read some parts of it I can share somethings from the first draft
This is such a beautiful and expressive way to retell his story, it adds so much emotion and room to use your imagination while the voice lines keep you immersed until it feels as though the walls of your room have dropped and given way to Liyue Harbour itself. This was so well done, it actually had me crying. Thank you for this!!
Barely 4 minutes in and I'm already in tears 😭. I feel like I'm listening to a very soothing & heartfelt story tale of Zhongli & his journey 😭💜 [Great playlist for me to listen to and slowly getting ready for Chinese New Year on the 10th. Well done Winter!]
I cried so much. The experience of listening to this is magical, it gave me so much motivation, hope, and strength. I loved it. This deserves to be in a movie. I will create it, only to have the time...
Im kinda late but.. The way the playlist ends with Lover's Oath made my heart melt. You surely know how to make playlists turn into an experience, Winter.
(I just got back to my device from standing in the rain LOL) I'm only a few minutes in but WOW. It's as if you open portals and share their keeps with us for all to enjoy, it's incredible 💙
Dang, I have to compliment the organisation of the songs and how the voice lines seamlessly mix brilliantly together. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Some are nostalgic and others are very much a beautiful representation of his character and how the voice actor Keith Silverstein expresses the humble and yet wise Zhongli. Its hard not imagine visually the stories he's telling and it's all thanks to you for designing this symphony so well. 👏🏽👏🏽 Defo subscribing.
I never knew I needed this so much my fav video now, gonna listen to it every day + every time everything feels too much his voice is healing my very soul and all the music? it''s perfect
this was soo enchanting 🤍 i love joel sunny’s work so im so happy it was included. some parts even reminded of httyd, one of my comfort movies. i cannot express how much i love this playlist!
I love many of your playlists, but this is your best playlist for me. Its stunning and gorgeous, describes Zhongli and Liyue the most. I feel their vibes here. Thank you for your work.
omg, a new playlist from winter, and it's a zhongli playlist! Thank you very much! I love listening to some of your playlists while studying (especially to your zhongli playlists), it really helps me stay focused, and I love listening to my favorite characters with beautiful music ☺
The way he says "A heart of stone is a heart nonetheless" and then "Young and Beautiful" starts to play louder it's absolutely beautiful, it touches me every time 😭♥️
Thank you winter for another beautiful playlist. I feel both sad and nostalgic while listening to this. Zhongli is the first genshin character I had heard of when life was better for me.
i love your playlists sm🙏 there's so much thought put into it, and im sure a lot of people feel the same way but i love discovering new music and your taste is immaculate
words cannot describe how amazing this playlist is, it's a piece of art, honestly. I love your playlists with such passion, can't wait to hear more playlists of yours! I'm in love with this playlist tbh, going to save it to hear it offline as well, lmao ❤❤❤
Zhongli lore themed playlist? Definitely going to be listening, his lore is honestly pretty interesting. Instrumental is amazing too. Edit: Not even a minute in and I love the bgm, so ethereal ♡
So thankful to have such amazing person to make us the best voiceovers music ;w; It made me how much I loved Zhongli and I still till now, I just needed this reminder!! thank you, this is truly a wonderful experience 💙💙
I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER ZHONGLI PLAYLIST LOL. And ofc, it’s as lovely as always❤️❤️❤️ keep them coming, they’ve become a way for me to vibe throughout the day while feeling fancy lol. Thank you for the amount of effort you put in them truly. You’re awesome.
winter, ilysm with your amazing playlists this one, the blade one, the orv one, kaveh and alhaithams playlists, and childe too omg omg, you make these so good
I just want to say how I adore all of your playlists, this one being one of my favorites alongside your Alhaitham playlist. Your 'haitham playlist was what pushed me through my finals- and this one, as far as I could tell, will be my most played video by the end of this semester. I will hold this playlist (possibly your whole account) close to me, as well as the feelings they evoke. Your playlists make me reminisce of the memories I certainly didn't experience, but felt like I did. Quite a comforting feeling, really.
How moving the narration, it was so accurate with Zhongli ✨ I really loved it, it was also very nice to listen to one of the songs from Akatsuki no Yona
Aaaaaaaah, why RUclips's notifying me so late?! 14 hours ago, c'mon! This playlist makes me happy and the fact that it's Zhongli themed makes me even happier. Love your work, specially cause your playlists are so good to draw while listening.
Oh yesss thank you for this playlist! He's my favourite...this harmony in this songs, many of them i didn't know for this moment...while listening to this I felt like relaxing this is so peaceful and so similar to Zhongli, I'm so glad so many people still here remember him! Your music is so fine also, I just feel his greatness..this got me like 🌸🩷💘🌌🐉🌑🌄 he is our pretty, smart, hot men of all the characters! For me even Nevilette or Wriotheley doesn't have interesting story as much as him...I feel bad when he reminds to Traveller that he's not an Archon anymore... he's always been near to Liuye so he's always been an Archon and always will be!!!
I really love this, it fits so well with the characters. Srsly like i immediately feel like im there next to him. If you dont mind.. Can you make a baizhu playlist? You dont need to if you dont want to!
love him adore him

STOP WHEN I HEARD LOVER'S OATH PLAYING I ALMOST CRIED BRUHHH STOP ITTTTT
Zhongli: The Listener
ー
He remembered too much. That had been his ruin for as long as he could recall. He remembered far too much. And he never forgot. How heavy a burden it had proved to be over the course of his immortal lifespan.
"Mr. Zhongli, how are you these days?" Madame Ping's gentle voice startled him from his silence. "You've hardly touched your tea. And you're the one to have invited me here!" She said so in jest, he knew, but he could not bring himself to laugh along with her. His expression remained unchanged. He was far too tired.

"You are clearly bothered by something, dear." Ping chuckled once more, evidently entertained by his befuddled manners this evening. He was forgetting himself, acting strangely in her eyes, being childish in his gloom. He knew. He knew all of this.
And yet…
And yet?
Why had he asked her to tea? Because she was one of the few who might understand his sentiments?
"Is it me? Am I poor company?" she joked.
"I appreciate your concern. None of my troubles are your fault," he assured, but even as he did so, his voice trembled into a weak utterance. "It's me. Something is...wrong, inside me. I feel it inside my stomach and my chest and I don't know what to do."
Grieving. Grieving. Constantly grieving and missing and gazing back on times that no longer existed. He couldn't stop.

To be sat around the stone table of Aocang with his companions, to walk the foot trails of Guili Plains, to listen to their stories, to see them just once more.

He remained to be the revered "listener", a keeper of history and bygones; among the last to remain of such times.
Yes…
Perhaps it was finally time.
Perhaps it was finally time he shared his own story.

Zhongli is such an amazing character, and it's always amazing to see him getting love even as the years continue on. 🧡💛
He is too good. I started the game for him and I still love him
Started for him too😭💞I was not allowed to spend in games so I got him c6 f2p
I remember as a broke student I prayed to god so i can have Zhongli on his banner.
Now it has been more than 3 years. I have a C5 Zhongli and will have a Zhongli C6.
My admiration for him never faded. He is wise and knowledgeable, and humble.

Yes! But man does Neauvillette come in a very CLOSE second place
Me, as a Zhongli kinnie, main, and he being my comfort character, İ can say that this is an elegant and beautiful work. Keep going!! (Sorry for my eng btw)
Lol ever since I pulled him he's still on my team
@@uhhsmile1746 OMG me tooooo💕 He's my first and only archon and Razor's protective, all-knowing, wise Grandpapy Zhongli 💕💕💕
He is the only archon that I have and want. I don't know why him but him. He's the blood that run to my heart. So, I loved him ahah.
Dude, you always pick the best Fanarts for your videos. Because, this fanart of zhongli is so pretty!!! 😭😭🤞🏻
This literally feels like shifting between realities and worlds. Literally feels like walking on the streets and roads of Ancient Liyue- holy moly. God tier playlist Winter 💞💓
this playlist made me fall in love with Zhongli again. i put it on repeat so muchh. All music and voiceover just hits soo good.
I love him from every part of my soul and from the bottom of my heart. I can't tell why this man change my whole life and make me want to live. I want to live in Liyue with him. I want to travel with him. I want to listen to him the whole journey even if he tell the most insignificant details of a story that I already know.
I love this man. I want him to be happy. I want him to feel free, to feel the live that he always want. I hope he can live one life with his friends, the yakshas, the adepti, azdaha and all the people he loved in his life of "Zhongli"
I want him to be the happier man that we ever seen because I loved him so much
Your playlists are a great source of comfort, feels like it’s only me, Zhongli, and Liyue while everything else is a blur 😭 Beautiful character with a beautiful playlist, the perfect combination. Truly, thank you so much Winter.
I might sound rude, but it makes remember a zhongli lofi playlist you made and i just found out that it’s nowhere to be found. That playlist hits home to me, and one of the only source of peace between my sadness, I used to fell asleep peacefully hearing the playlist. It’s selfish of me but i was wondering what happened to the playlist?
🥺🥺🥺 He's so comforting I wanna sit in his lap like a child and take a nap. What a magical playlist
I love this sm omg I love how in 13:56 what zhongli is saying perfectly lines up with Lana del Rey’s lyrics in young and beautiful. “I’ve seen the world, done it all, had my cake now…~~”
Never in my life has a playlist been so magical and captivating. It's like I'm experiencing a golden moment that is stagnant and rich, a moment that never seems to flee. It's really amazing what you create. This playlist is certainly one of a kind
I keep coming back to this playlist and man I need more of them with the same traditional vibes
Thanks to this, a character in the book that I’m working on, who has a similar personality will shine like no other star
if your book drops, remind me pls 🙏🏼😂 I'm intrigued
@@f4llenleaves well uni work is keeping me busy so it might take time but if you wish to read some parts of it I can share somethings from the first draft
This is such a beautiful and expressive way to retell his story, it adds so much emotion and room to use your imagination while the voice lines keep you immersed until it feels as though the walls of your room have dropped and given way to Liyue Harbour itself. This was so well done, it actually had me crying. Thank you for this!!
Barely 4 minutes in and I'm already in tears 😭. I feel like I'm listening to a very soothing & heartfelt story tale of Zhongli & his journey 😭💜
[Great playlist for me to listen to and slowly getting ready for Chinese New Year on the 10th. Well done Winter!]
I cried so much. The experience of listening to this is magical, it gave me so much motivation, hope, and strength. I loved it. This deserves to be in a movie. I will create it, only to have the time...
Im kinda late but.. The way the playlist ends with Lover's Oath made my heart melt. You surely know how to make playlists turn into an experience, Winter.
(I just got back to my device from standing in the rain LOL)
I'm only a few minutes in but WOW. It's as if you open portals and share their keeps with us for all to enjoy, it's incredible 💙
That is such a wonderful way of describing my playlists. Thank you. 🤍
@@winterrtide What can I say, you inspire me
This is exactly how I felt ❤ really well said
Dang, I have to compliment the organisation of the songs and how the voice lines seamlessly mix brilliantly together. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Some are nostalgic and others are very much a beautiful representation of his character and how the voice actor Keith Silverstein expresses the humble and yet wise Zhongli. Its hard not imagine visually the stories he's telling and it's all thanks to you for designing this symphony so well. 👏🏽👏🏽
Defo subscribing.
Hearing this while playing the lanternrite Story 2024, it fits amazingly ❤
:0 something to listen to as I sleep, the release of this was perfect
I never knew I needed this so much
my fav video now, gonna listen to it every day + every time everything feels too much
his voice is healing my very soul and all the music? it''s perfect
NO WAY you added in Elegy of Moonlight T^T
thats my favourite song from yona of the dawn :)))
i thought no one else knew it
this was soo enchanting 🤍 i love joel sunny’s work so im so happy it was included. some parts even reminded of httyd, one of my comfort movies. i cannot express how much i love this playlist!
How beautiful, winter. Words are not enough to describe my love for what I just listened to. 🤍
oh my. Thank you yae. 🤍
this is hands down the best zhongli playlist i've heard
YESYESYESS I NEEDED THIS AFTER YOUR NEUVILLETTE PLAYLIST TYSM
I think this fixed me. I can't describe it but I listened to it while playing Zhongli's second story quest and I think it fixed me.
I love many of your playlists, but this is your best playlist for me. Its stunning and gorgeous, describes Zhongli and Liyue the most. I feel their vibes here. Thank you for your work.
omg, a new playlist from winter, and it's a zhongli playlist! Thank you very much! I love listening to some of your playlists while studying (especially to your zhongli playlists), it really helps me stay focused, and I love listening to my favorite characters with beautiful music ☺
made the mistake of getting ready while listening to this and now my make up keeps getting ruined by my tears 😩
The way he says "A heart of stone is a heart nonetheless" and then "Young and Beautiful" starts to play louder it's absolutely beautiful, it touches me every time 😭♥️
omg yesss my comfort archon 🥰🥰 this playlist is full of songs i love tyyyy
I can't describe how much i love Zhongli and this playlist ❤❤
Thank you winter for another beautiful playlist. I feel both sad and nostalgic while listening to this. Zhongli is the first genshin character I had heard of when life was better for me.
i love your playlists sm🙏
there's so much thought put into it, and im sure a lot of people feel the same way but i love discovering new music and your taste is immaculate
such an underrated playlist, i love this sm
This... How can this make my heart pound so fast ? ❤
just letting u know these playlists are literally saving me through my senior year of undergrad and my fic WIPs
Something about zhongli is give very comforting ..that i cant point a finger on..
It was a great experience to knit a scarf while listening to the playlist. Felt like spending time with an old friend😢❤❤❤
your playlist literally wake me up and make me feel alive. Thank you. Seriously, thank you so much for all that you create!!
words cannot describe how amazing this playlist is, it's a piece of art, honestly. I love your playlists with such passion, can't wait to hear more playlists of yours!
I'm in love with this playlist tbh, going to save it to hear it offline as well, lmao ❤❤❤
Never stop doing these
Zhongli lore themed playlist? Definitely going to be listening, his lore is honestly pretty interesting. Instrumental is amazing too.
Edit: Not even a minute in and I love the bgm, so ethereal ♡
So thankful to have such amazing person to make us the best voiceovers music ;w; It made me how much I loved Zhongli and I still till now, I just needed this reminder!! thank you, this is truly a wonderful experience 💙💙
I love your playlists. I strive to have this amount of talent in making a playlist that truly represents a character so well.
Elliot Tordo AND Akatsuki no Yona??!! 😩😩😩😩 Immediate classic, I'm low-key getting emotional with the voice lines and everything. Amazing playlist!!!
We need more zhongli playlist
The atmosphere, i really like it
exactly 2 hours ago i remember saying i dont like instrumental playlists.i have discovered this channel and i take everything back
I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER ZHONGLI PLAYLIST LOL. And ofc, it’s as lovely as always❤️❤️❤️ keep them coming, they’ve become a way for me to vibe throughout the day while feeling fancy lol. Thank you for the amount of effort you put in them truly. You’re awesome.
The ambience here is amazing I'm actually feeling touched
40:03 , THIS LINE JUST HITS SO HARD
You are literally my favorite playlist creator, please never disappear
winter, ilysm with your amazing playlists
this one, the blade one, the orv one, kaveh and alhaithams playlists, and childe too omg omg, you make these so good
I just want to say how I adore all of your playlists, this one being one of my favorites alongside your Alhaitham playlist.
Your 'haitham playlist was what pushed me through my finals- and this one, as far as I could tell, will be my most played video by the end of this semester.
I will hold this playlist (possibly your whole account) close to me, as well as the feelings they evoke. Your playlists make me reminisce of the memories I certainly didn't experience, but felt like I did. Quite a comforting feeling, really.
He's so beautiful!! It's so perfect~~ 😣😣❤❤❤❤
Exquisite! Always a pleasure to receive a notification for one of your playlists winter
i cant rest well if i dont listen to this playlist at least twice a day literally the best zhongli playlist ever
How moving the narration, it was so accurate with Zhongli ✨ I really loved it, it was also very nice to listen to one of the songs from Akatsuki no Yona
your channel is the best thing i've stumbled upon in a while
love your playlists 💙😭
:)
you do awesome work winter
This is a masterpiece 💖 feel like Zhongli and i was side by side in all of that story
Aaaaaaaah, why RUclips's notifying me so late?! 14 hours ago, c'mon! This playlist makes me happy and the fact that it's Zhongli themed makes me even happier.
Love your work, specially cause your playlists are so good to draw while listening.
Welcome to the land of Liyue, a reminiscence by Master Zonghli … So calm and peaceful i love it ! 🤍
im about to cry listening to this playlist its perfect for him the yaksha part got me bc its like listening to him lose his kids
I love it. looking forwards to other archons as well. especially venti🥰
I love this...
I LOVE THIS!
Oh yesss thank you for this playlist! He's my favourite...this harmony in this songs, many of them i didn't know for this moment...while listening to this I felt like relaxing this is so peaceful and so similar to Zhongli, I'm so glad so many people still here remember him! Your music is so fine also, I just feel his greatness..this got me like 🌸🩷💘🌌🐉🌑🌄 he is our pretty, smart, hot men of all the characters! For me even Nevilette or Wriotheley doesn't have interesting story as much as him...I feel bad when he reminds to Traveller that he's not an Archon anymore... he's always been near to Liuye so he's always been an Archon and always will be!!!
Listening to this while doing the lantern rite event rn
THIS GOES SO HARD
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
CHEFS KISS MWAH
The most perfect thing I've woken up to in a long while. You really don't disappoint. Thank you ♥️
Kung-fu panda's music in the beginning ㅠㅠ♡
6:40 the agony with the music gives me goosebumps, omg
The music echoes, leaving space for the emptiness left after death. Incredibly well timed..
