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.
