Eight Ways to Say I Love You Playlist
20 tracks
romantic
Oct 28, 2026
A mix of intimate piano, spacious indie instrumentals, and gently pulsing dream-pop textures follows Shira and Leo through the changing seasons of their lives and the recurring warmth of Hanukkah at home. The closing songs bring in the holiday and the tender, long-lasting pull of a childhood friendship becoming love.
