My God Has A Telephone – The Flying Stars of Brooklyn NY
23 January 2018
This song is the perfect example of why I love music especially live music because you can hear the rawness in someone’s voice and the emotions they are feeling. Music is so powerful and the connection between a song and an individual is unbreakable.
England – The National
16 January 2018
It’s been a year since I embarked on a journey that tested all my limits and made me question everything. Not matter how hard I try not to be dim and gloom all the time, I can’t help that I find sadness beautiful. I think it’s the vulnerability. I think I just long to see people for who they truly are because I’m tired of making connections with shells of people…
Blood Under My Belt – The Drums
10 January 2018
The Drums have been active since 2008, and currently there is only one founding member still in the band. The initial members formed after meeting at bible camp when they were pre-teens. They went on to support artists like Bombay Bicycle Club, Florence and the Machine…
Dreamers (feat. Phoebe Lou) – Hopium
3 January 2018
I had a lot of time to think of the holidays. My phone broke and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to take a social media break. I had always thought to myself that it was something I could never do because I was so addicted to everyone else’s social life. But in the end it wasn’t hard at all…
anemone – slenderbodies
18 December 2017
This track took me a little to like, but now I can’t enough of it. At first I was intrigued by the breezy unique voice, but now I couldn’t imagine the song any different way. It talks about liking it better underwater and the whole vibe of the song does sound underwater inspired…
Gettin’ Old – 6LACK
2 December 2017
Finals week is upon me and my notorious procrastination ways have caught up with me. I also realized over the last couple of days that this playlist is more about the feelings it conveys, than a style that each song has to match.
Crowded Places – Banks
2 December 2017
The last couple weeks my mood has definitely been all over the place. As you can see in my choices in tracks. I keep hoping the next week will be better, but I just have to keep moving forward.
This is The Last Time – The National
8 November 2017
I wanted to bring back the Local Natives, Kasier Chiefs I started off towards the beginning of the playlist. I have learned with my friends that The National is either a hit or a miss. I just love the sadness in Matt Berninger’s voice, no matter how upbeat or loud the song is, you can always hear the sadness.
I Dare You – The xx
6 November 2017
I’m a hopeless romantic. I think love is a social construct. I fall in love with every new person I meet. And yet I seem to always question why we feel it so necessary to find someone to love. Maybe it has to do with the things that I was exposed to growing up. Maybe it’s all in my head.
Ruby – Foster the People
24 October 2017
Either my name should be Ruby or they should remain this song Ashlee. These past couple days I’ve been at my all time low. There’s nothing really that triggered me, it just happens sometimes. And guess what I’m the type of person who love wallowing in her sadness. And maybe you like to do that too, so that’s why you’re here. But the best thing about this song is that, yes you can wallow to it, but at the same time it tries to lift your spirits.
All over You – LEISURE
17 October 2017
Memories are a crazy thing. It’s like one minute it’s all happening so fast and next thing you know it’s been 7 months. But it still feels like it was just yesterday. You can still see it so clearly. Your heart still races. And find yourself smiling at nothing and everything.
Space Song – Beach House
10 October 2017
How could I not put this song in this playlist. It fits so perfectly, from its style to its name! A phrase I have coined to describe this song is – vibe song. My definition of a vibe song is a song that has all the right elements for your current state of mind.
