Music is such an important thing to me. I listen to it practically 24/7 and I turn to it when I’m happy, sad, bored, and even when I’m mad. It’s like caffeine that wakes me up in the mornings and I  doubt I would be able to function without it. I have a pretty widespread taste, ranging from the most popular music on the radio to extremely obscure songs that may be a little odd. Because of my obsession with music, I wanted to talk about what I have been listening to, on repeat, lately. These aren’t all recent but still very worth listening to. 

 

These are my go-to chill out songs:

Heartbeats- Jose Gonzalez

Stay Alive- Jose Gonzalez

Between the Bars- Elliott Smith

Letting in- Beauville

Shiver- Lucy Rose

Nothing Arrived – Villagers

Fire and the Flood – Vance Joy

 

If you’re wondering how I find my music, the truth is it almost all comes from recommendations from other people. If someone posts something saying “listen to this song”, I’ll add it on Spotify. Sometimes I have to listen to a song ten times before I like it and sometimes I like in the first 10 seconds but I always give suggested songs a chance.

I am constantly finding new songs that I will listen to for awhile and then once I’m tired of  I move on, but it’s always fun when I find old music that I forgot about and I can then wear out again.
