MUSIC
I believe that listening to music can have the ability to change your mood in an instant. With that said, I think I can speak for everyone that sometimes it’s hard to find those few perfect songs that fit certain moods. What do I play when I’m in the “f*#@ it” mood? When I want to feel empowered? When I just want to jam and dance around?
Well, here’s my list:
Dance in the Kitchen or Jam in the Car Vibes:
- Icarus, Like Swimming
- Anything Odesza (instrumental)
- Kings of Summer, ayokay
- Girls, The 1975

o (Stop) Just Love
o Telephone
- Easy Love, R5
- High Roller, Sugar & The Hi Lows
- Make It Up As You Go, Plain White T’s

Songs that make you think twice [kind of deep, but very insightful]:

Relax/Chill:

- I Like You, Ben Rector (light and happy)

Hopefully this covers most of those “what do I listen to?” moods. If not, feel free to comment below. I’m happy to share more music (trust me, I couldn’t fit every song onto this list lol) and I’m open to listen to some new jams!
[Many of these songs can be found on my Spotify playlist titled “Easy”, feel free to check it out! I'll post it below.]
