I love music. I hate playing music but I love listening to music. As a kid, I was constantly in the car with people who had major differing tastes from each other. My mom loved country and pop. My dad was a rock and classical kind of man. My grandmother was a lover of all things classic like Sinatra and Bennett. Needless to say, I wasn’t allowed to really switch the station often. When I was in their car, it was their music that we listened to. This made me very tolerable and accepting of all kinds of music.
To date, I love a healthy mix of genres. I love Taylor Swift, Tony Bennett, Garth Brooks, Kendrick Lamar, John Williams, Beyonce, Marcus King, Adele, Banners, Cardi B, Bing Crosby and The Goo Goo Dolls. I like it all. I appreciate that different kinds of music fit in with different moments of my day. I always have a song for every occasion. I would have made a great person who picks music for movies. Who has that job? That must be awesome.
Anyways, it’s fall and it’s my favorite time to really curate a good and cozy playlist to get me through my day and, today, I am sharing that with you. This playlist is really a walk through my mind as different things happen during my day. There’s some calm, some pumped up fun, some classics, and even some sad stuff. Enjoy and let me know if there is anything you are currently loving in music!
