About this Playlist
This playlist still carries the hum of summer. At some point in life – or maybe just now – I’ve realized that music often exists like a steady vibration in the background, shaping how we move through the day without us even noticing. Maybe it’s me turning 30 this November, but I’ve started to see songs less as explosions and more as threads weaving through time.
This one revolves around those months between October and March, when the sun lingers a little longer and the air feels charged with warmth. It’s the kind of soundtrack that makes your life a bit lighter, that lets you get things done—even when you feel overwhelmed by noise. Turn it up, and suddenly the day feels easier, more possible.
The Songs & Their Feels
fake.guitars – lost spaces
The guitar on this track bends reality—it makes me believe in the multiverse, like we get to live different versions of our lives across hidden dimensions. Ethereal yet grounding, it’s an echo of possibility.
Bazzi – Somewhere In Between
This song pulls me back to a moment under sunlight, when I was thriving but also lost, faded, unsure. The lyric “are you somewhere in between?” hit me hard—it felt like it was pulling at the seams of my soul, naming what I couldn’t.
NOTD – Crash
It’s not all or nothing—it lives in that mysterious middle ground. NOTD has a way of tuning sound into a state of balance, keeping me inspired and anchored when everything else feels scattered.
Before You Exit – Strangers
There’s something beautifully strange about revisiting old love, letting the past breathe without bitterness. This track echoes that story for me, a reminder that even through heartbreak, I can still feel hopeful and true to myself.
Hand Made House – In Bloom
In Bloom feels like opening your window to a late afternoon breeze—it carries both freshness and nostalgia. There’s growth in its rhythm, a sense of becoming, like standing in the middle of change and actually enjoying it.
Reflection
From October 2024 to March 2025, I’ve found myself in a season of breathing – practicing self-care, grounding, and learning that not every musical impulse needs to be chased. Sometimes holding back creates space for new experiences, for deeper joy, and for future possibilities. This playlist holds that energy: summer as both a feeling and a lesson.
