It's 26th of March on the calendar and here we are in Canada stuck in the cold. Lately, basically everyone has been craving for spring, a little bit of sunshine and warm weather. But what do we get? Right, we get some more shitty weather, cold wind, snow and negative outside temperature.
There isn't a thing you can do to fix the weather. However, what you can do is change your attitude to it. Think about it: rather than sitting at home complaining about the weather and ruining your own mood as well as that of the people surrounding you, you might as well turn on some sunny and summery songs on your speakers/headphones and that will make you feel better!
This week, I will include very cheerful song that create an illusion of beach warm sunny weather. Don't let the weather get you down and enjoy this good music!
The playlists starts off with sweet lounge tunes of the cover to a very old song we all heard "Sunny". It makes you think of summer, beach, sun, parties and everything that comes with it. Totally recommended for listening.
The music set continues with another house track with elements of indie: "Hey Beau (makkit edit)" by dillon.
A very old, bur nevertheless great summertime song introduced by one of the most cheerful singers I've come across. Bob Sinclair is asking the whole world to hold on and, definitely, when listening to the song, the only thing you want to do is to hold on and enjoy the moment.
"Sloppy Seconds" by Watsky is simply amazing in everything: it creates the mood, it is catchy and it is undoubtedly very cheerful and summery. You will not even notice how you're gonna be singing the lyrics at the end of the song.
The last but not the least is another old/good stuff: "Summerlove" by David Tavare. There's no other song which makes you dream of summer, seaside and summer love affair more than this one.
Keep calm, the winter's gonna end soon!
I hope you're not freezing because of the cold temperature and if you do, check out the previous blog post and the music featured there will get you dancing and feeling really happy.
However, this week we will listen to something different. It's February 3rd on the calendar, which means that college and university students in Canada are having their midterm exams and completing assignments this week and the week after.
Sometimes we feel overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the amount of information we are trying to fit into our heads. Overwhelmed by the amount of work that remains to be done. Or probably, by some other events going on in our lives.
When exam period starts, every student is in a panicking and overwhelmed condition. And this is not the worst, because when you are having that hysteria state of mind after a certain amount of hard work has been accomplished, it only means that you are very close to achieving your goal.
In that instance, all you need is a little push. You simply have lack of inspiration. Luckily, music is one of the best sources in which to search for creative ideas. It's only logical: you start thinking a lot when you are listening to music. Diving into the depths of your subconsciousness helps you to fish out those well covered thoughts and ideas.
This week I'm introducing you my own inspirational/study playlist which has 5 most amazing mellow electronic, trip-hop and downtempo songs. They will literally illuminate your mind with a bunch of new thoughts and ideas.
After all, brainstorming is so much better when you have great music playing in your speakers.
Artists featured: Massive Attack, Fatboy Slim, Yonderboi, Bonobo, Pet Shop Boys.
So headphones on, world off and good luck on your midterms!
