You And MeEhrling
Music producer Ehrling, who has gained popularity with his tropical house–driven sound.
His melodies—featuring a saxophone that seems to sing—have drawn attention as BGM for vlogs.
Among his tracks, this is one I especially recommend.
Included on the album “Tropical Confessions, Pt.
2” and released in March 2017, this instrumental piece—despite having no lyrics—beautifully conveys the intimate theme of “you and me.” The buoyant saxophone tones feel as if they’re portraying irreplaceable moments spent by two people.
Thanks to its breezy vibe, it pairs perfectly with travel diaries and driving videos.
If you’re aiming to make a stylish vlog, this track is a must-check!

The protagonist’s feelings, likened to the confederate rose, are expressed in words that are both beautiful and heartrending, leaving a deep impression on listeners.

Autumn evenings have a certain wistfulness that makes you long for company, don’t they? This track, released by Kiro Akiyama in August 2019, is the perfect companion for that sentimental mood.
The irresistible, top-tier pop tune woven from buoyant piano and shimmering strings is simply delightful.
In contrast to its dazzling sound, the lyrics sing of lingering feelings for someone unforgettable and the aching struggle not to lose one’s true self.
The song came out when he was gaining attention after being selected for Spotify’s “Early Noise 2019,” and it was later included on the acclaimed album From DROPOUT.
