Quarantine Playlist: Songs to Keep you Sane

in

This is the playlist that is keeping me sane while locked up in my house.

But in truth, my position is one of privilege; I can stay inside and read books, listen to music, do yoga in my garden, watch movies, paint a portrait, write a novel. While others are out in the world saving lives on the front line of the NHS here in England, or holed up in labs across the globe frantically searching for a cure to the virus. Keep that fact in mind and be grateful that the only thing most of us have to do is just stay inside. Its the perfect time for self-reflection and self-improvement like I explored in my How to Survive Quarantine Blog Post

Stay home, stay safe and I’ll be back soon with my Quarantine Book Recommendations at the weekend.

Winter Playlist - Daydreamers and Moonwalkers

in

This playlist opens with Daydreamer by Aurora and the lyrics in the chorus are quite eye-opening:

When feelings are heavy they become all we are

And we become night time dreamers
And streetwalkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
And moonwalkers and dream talkers

It’s a call to all the downtrodden to get back to dreaming and to revel in trying to achieve the seemingly impossible goals we have set for ourselves, which feels rather fitting for this time of year. Winter brings the best of us down and with a new year and a whole new decade dawning soon it’s time we got back to the things that matter in this life!

This playlist is a chilled selection of songs that have been inspiring me recently and have been the soundtrack to my time adjusting to a new place, so I hope they in term give you what they have given me, a little hope and comfort.

Music I’m Loving Right Now Vol VI – Summer '19

in

Summer is here…well at least it is supposed to be. Let’s just face it that British summers are erratic to say the least, one day its positively boiling the next the skies are grey and threatening to rain.

This seasons playlist is mix of indie whimsy, chilled R&B, chic french classics and a little Killing Eve soundtrack magic. So grab a glass of wine, a book and get some rays or go on a balmy summers evening drive…

Sunday Mood: Epik High - Sleepless in __________

in ,

Epik High's latest release Sleepless in __________ is a lo-fi hip-hop lullaby, it's for the insomniacs and the dreamers. And while the new album doesn't reinvent the wheel its familiarity is comforting like a hot cup of cocoa on a rainy day or the summer sun smiling down on you. And thats enough, so many artists are switching and changing genres to innovate but sometimes staying the same is cooler.

This album is the perfect Lazy Sunday Mood, so sit back grab a book or have a little snooze in the early summer sunshine (while wearing SPF50+++ of course!) and be sonically transported to a higher realm!

Have a great Sunday!
