Starting off as an indie musician, 10cm has grown in both skill and popularity, captivating audiences far and wide. With his alluring vocals and melodic strumming, every note becomes a mesmerizing spell that you just cannot shake off. 10cm is the source of catchy tunes like 'Americano' and 'What The Spring,' causing audiences to happily clap along with a smile on their face.

10cm is an artist with incredible duality, however, being able to swoon audiences with heartrending ballads that seem all the more relevant in the cold months of winter. While they might produce tears, these songs also provide a type of comfort that you cannot find anywhere else.

Now, here are some 10cm songs you should have on your playlist during a sentimental night.

 

1. 'That's Not'

'That's Not' is a moving song that tackles the feelings from the aftermath of a breakup. There's emotional depth, lingering sadness, and multiple cries for help. The lyrics are especially hard-hitting and show that even the smallest detail can tip us over the edge. Despite the tears that might be shed while listening to this track, it also serves as a reminder that we're not alone in our solitude and that it's perfectly fine to cry.

 

2. 'However'

Life is difficult and regardless of how well we try to hide it, those feelings still seep through, even in our sleep. 'However' is a reminder to be truthful about our feelings and the need to open up. While it doesn't offer an outright solution to our many problems, it becomes a source of soft comfort and motivation to seek out an answer.

 

3. 'So...'

'So...' talks about the joys of a relationship and having someone by your side. However, it also tackles the idea of not feeling like you're enough. It's a thought that crosses everyone's mind, at least. However, hearing it in song reminds us that we're not alone and knowing someone else is tackling these feelings too brings forth a type of bubbling hope. That doesn't mean you shouldn't keep the tissues nearby as you listen to this song, for it's only a matter of time before the tears start to roll.

 

4. 'October Rain'

October might be long past, however, 'October Rain' feels relevant in any month. The track evokes a sense of sadness that you are unable to shake off. Make no mistake, its lyrics are soul crushing, exploring the idea of difference and not fitting in. However, it's also a rallying cry to signal that there's other people out there who are also trudging along in life.

 

5. 'Tonight I'm Afraid Of The Dark'

Recently, 10cm did a brand new rendition of his song, 'Tonight I'm Afraid Of The Dark' on KBS' "The Seasons: Choi JungHoon's Night Park". This song is the liveliest song on this list, which seems appropriate after spending much of the night deep in thought. The lyric are playful, fun, and will have you smiling from ear to ear. Even if you started off the night in tears, 'Tonight I'm Afraid Of The Dark' will surely change that in an instant.
