sensitivos y violentos (vol. 2): yesterday, today, and tomorrow by Gaby
This playlist is a collection of songs I’d been listening to in the weeks of its creation that sort of represent the feelings I was trying to process at the time. They’re in the order I felt made most sense sonically.
МОЯ ЖИЗНЬ by Vlada
“МОЯ ЖИЗНЬ” translates to “MY LIFE” in Russian. There was no overlapping theme/concept to the music I picked for my playlist. Rather, I wished to share the tracks that I was obsessively listening to in the first half of the year. The blurry cover meant to represent the playlist’s undercurrent is a film picture I snapped of a friend on my vintage 1975 Zorki made in Kiev, Soviet Union. Obviously, my heritage is a big component of how I experience and create art.
fear of the unknown by Evelyn
I was at a harrowing turning point in my life when I put this playlist together. I was unsure of what was next in my life and likewise unsure of what even felt tolerable to listen to. There’s a bit of rage in there and a bit of comfort too, but all things that made my days feel a little more validated.
They Found Cody in San Francisco by Savino
When I was a kid, I had a chihuahua named Cody that ran away. A few months later, we got a call from a vet in San Francisco who checked his chip and called to tell us they found him. This playlist has nothing to do with that. I just threw songs together in an order I liked and then panic-named it after this incident.
waking up from a heavy dream by Erika
It’s peculiar to wake up from a heavy dream in which you’re living, breathing, and feeling just like you do in reality. These songs resonate with what it feels like to mourn a life that was only a dream. The liminal space between waking up and falling back asleep.
not in this life by Karla
Isn’t it funny how our emotions can elude us, but seep through the pores of another’s work? No sooner did I find myself gravitating towards songs of “what could’ve been” than I realized what my heart felt and my mind ignored. Stuck in a place between hope and resignation.
Linen by Andrew
Fabric of the summer.
windows down by Tharynn
This playlist was put together for sunny days driving down to the beach or just to spend the day in nature. It reminds me of the wind, warm weather, and good people.
