Leaving a few energy-cracking deadlines behind me, I'm writing a blog post again.
One of those deadlines was for a magazine. The magazine had to be about something or for someone, for which there wasn't a magazine on the market yet. I chose to make a magazine for people who are scared to travel, but do dream about doing it. I wanted to share experiences in this magazine, through illustrations and text. To make it complete, I added my 'ultimate travel playlist' (of that very moment. You know me, with my obsessions). Making this playlist reminded me of this place, and how 90% of my blog basically is me getting excited over music, so I had to share. I'm only going to put some highlights in this blogposts, though, since it would turn out way too long. The playlist itself ended up being 9 hours long. Happy traveling!
Suck it and See - Arctic Monkeys (Album)
This is where the whole idea of making a playlist started. For me, this is the ultimate travel album, it has all I need. Whenever I hear it, I get in travel mood and whenever I'm traveling and I hear it, it's just perfect. Ask me for one perfect recommendation? I would give you this.
Born to Die - Lana Del Rey (Album)
I love this album. I already did for quite a while, but I slightly forgot about it and I hadn't listened to it for so long, until I was looking for music for this playlist. It made me realize how amazing it is and how fantastic it would be whilst traveling. Silently enjoy, scream your lungs out; all you need, given to you by Lana Del Rey. (I really, really discovered National Anthem this week. What a song.)
Alone - Selah Sue (Song)
That voice, that beat, that song. It's just so dance-able and happy and would make every day better.
Runaway - Kanye West (Song)
I have been quite obsessed with this lately, but let's be honest here, this is amazing if you were to be traveling whilst listening to this. It has such a great vibe. Couldn't miss it.
Human - The Killers (Song)
Just put it on and sing. Sing really, really loudly. Let it all out.
Submarine - Alex Turner (Album)
If you, after this singing, need a moment to calm down, there is Submarine. Perfectly mellow and beautiful, to softly sing along to and to slowly fall in love with life.
After putting together this playlist and printing my magazine, you can imagine me hitting myself for the music I've forgotten. So much forgotten music. It's too much.
Have a nice life,
Xoxo
