Musical Compass is an interactive tool that lets you explore songs based on their emotional meaning, not just genre or popularity.
Instead of organizing music by playlists or artists, this app maps songs into a 2D space defined by your chosen emotional axes — like Happy–Sad or Calm–Angry.
This 2D space is based entirely on the lyrics of each song. An upbeat, cheerful-sounding track might be positioned as “sad” if its lyrics carry a somber message.
