Music is something that I am forever happy exists. Whether it’s background at a dinner party, concentrating while studying, feeding our inner singer in the car, even for when we need a little therapy session. It brings us feelings that can’t even be explained. Music is truly an outlet to escape reality for a little bit and enjoy the power of the beat. It’s kinda fascinating that we are able to memorize all the words to hundreds of songs but can easily forget why we walk into a room.
I’ve been creating playlists for a while to correspond with my moods. I came to the conclusion that my feelings for what I want to listen to constantly change, so I should be prepared for any circumstance since I listen to it so often. I’ve also recently added tons of new songs to my library so I wanted to share a few songs and playlist ideas for some of your moods!
Also wanted to add to check out Pinterest if you are in need of cover or name ideas for your playlist (my main source).
Defaults: Cover is my default show (ironically goes hand-in-hand). This is my go-to playlist when I know I just want to listen to my current favs. Filled with many genres, all the music has a chill beat and makes my car ride ten times better.
Go To Artists:
Daniel Caesar (MY FAVOURITE)
Frank Ocean
Ella Mai
H.E.R.
Mac Miller
Mellow Mornings: I am a big advocate for having a mellow Sunday morning mood and drinking coffee and catching up on a light-hearted movie or sitting outside, so I made a playlist to reflect that feeling. (the cover picture I took myself; yellow really reminds me of mellowness)
Go To Songs:
Banana Pancakes – Jack Johnson
Sunday Morning (Acoustic) – Maroon 5
Riptide – Vance Joy
Budapest – George Ezra
Bubbly – Colbie Caillat
Brain Waves: This was recently created because I realized that I didn’t have a playlist specifically with songs that gave me a feeling I couldn’t explain. It is just an amazing feeling. hard to describe. and this pic just made me think of fun friend moments that just make sense.

Soft Caffeine: Imagine this. In a coffee shop. Studying. Doing work. The aroma of coffee fills the air. Earphones in. Computer out. Cold chill in the air yet warmed from the hot coffee in front of you. Now if that doesn’t sound like the perfect moment, I don’t know what does.
Artists on the album:
Lumineers
Mumford and Sons
Hozier
Jack Johnson
John Mayer
Windows Down: Everyone needs a playlist specifically to scream their hearts out in the car. Throwback, upbeat classic songs that make you smile from ear to ear and feel the best you’ve felt all day. I usually play this more in the summer but every once in awhile, I need a refresher on what it feels like to have no worries.
