Listen Up – August

By accident, this is the most cohesive monthly playlist that I’ve created to date. It’s pretty darn chill. First off we have what may be my favorite Talking Heads song, “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody). Something about that track makes me long for home. “Starlight” is a song I stumbled upon by chance and I’m so glad I did. My most listened to song this month was likely “Mexico” by James Taylor. The lyrics really crack me up! Lastly, if you make it this far into the playlist, “Peace Piece” by Bill Evans (my favorite jazz musician, btw) is perfect. For me, jazz, specifically Bill Evans, and rainy weather go hand in hand. I listen to him play and it takes me back to my childhood bedroom, sitting on the bed and playing Animal Crossing on the Gamecube with my Mom. I loved those days and still miss them.
