I literally can’t go a day without music, especially at the moment being cooped up indoors indefinitely. This playlist is full of songs that have been bringing me joy for the last couple months, from dancing in the kitchen while cooking to 2am writing sessions so I thought I would share them with you just in case they can do the same.
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.
I am such a homebody as soon as sweater weather hits, I literally have to force myself to leave the house to go to work or to pick up groceries to ensure my survival. Socialising, well you can forget about that, I am not leaving the house unless it’s a life or death situation. So to fill my time I read, watch tv and study…ooh très excitant! And I also spend a weird amount of time curating perfect playlists for the mood I’m in…so here is the Chilled Out Winter Days Playlist
This playlist features some rather eclectic songs and genres…like who’d thought a film soundtrack reworking of a classic Punk Song (Hong Kong Garden I’m looking at you) would fit into a playlist with Korean Hip-Hop and soft indie folk…I think it does…this would be rather embarrassing if it doesn’t…Please tell me it does!
Also is it just me or does Sofia Coppola have such awesome soundtracks to her movies, Lost in Translation is one of the first films that I watched as a child that made me fall in love with cinema and I have watched it a million times since, and that soundtrack is just so iconic! I’ve also been obsessed with the soundtrack to Goblin which is honestly one of the best Korean Drama’s I’ve ever watched (and believe me I have devoured many!!!) and considering much of the series is set in Winter the soundtrack is perfect for this playlist. And the final soundtrack goodness that found it’s way onto this playlist is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, this classical piece is sublimely beautiful and considering Christmas is in the title I can be my festive song of the playlist.
