I thought it would be cool to post about some of my major ones and talk a little bit about them, so here goes.
Romantic Jazz Bar
This is one of my favourite playlists because I truly love the relaxing cocktail bar feel and the mix of crooners and cool jazz types in there. It's so uniquely calming yet gently exciting. A little bit funky. A bit of toe tapping. A bit of dancing around your dinner. A healthy dose of trumpet revives me.
Oh
This is mostly a big catalogue of exhilarating pop. Songs that have that soaring feeling. Songs for running through streets at night, or songs for when you go into the bathroom at a party and maybe just sit in the bath on your own for a bit and feel that strange type of deep happiness. Songs for watching slow motion fireworks. Something like that. BIG GOOD POP MUSIC (mostly).
50s & 60s faves
I really love so much music from this era, but I have a bunch of particular favourites and thought it would be cool to gather them together. Headed of course by the very perfect Dream Lover by Bobby Darin. There's nothing better.
Secrets & Home
This is a slightly more elusive playlist that takes some of the exhilarating, dreamy pop feeling from the 'Oh' playlist, but has a bit more of a varied and conspiratorial feel to it. These are mostly songs that feel like they are super expressive of something that's sitting somewhere in my blood somehow. There's a little bit of darkness and glow to this one.
Other playlists I have include:
- Ambient & Calm (a really soothing mix of gentle, spooky, serene instrumentals)
- New Finds (all the stuff I've just found and want to remember for later)
- /// (a miscellaneous jumble of current stuff)
I cannot be stopped.
I finally listened to all the playlists and you've got some wonderfull music. I love the feeling of 50s & 60s faves and Secrets & Home.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thank you! I'm glad you like them :-) those two playlists are definitely ones I love listening to often because they're super calm and uplifting and nice!
