Spring 2020: Cozy Quarantine Music

Typically spring is about new energy, a revitalization of our creaky winter selves, a time for blooming of possibilities. It brings me so much joy to see the world come alive again, dandelions through sidewalk cracks, that hint of warmth in the breezes, the gradual lengthening of daylight. 

But this season's playlist feels a little different and I know this season of our lives is nothing like what any of us planned for. Besides being truly homebound, May has been a particularly frosty and tentative dame. 

So this playlist is all about bringing the comfort. It's for those of us who are finally sinking into this phase of nesting. For brisk walks at night around the city to get fresh air in solitude. For Saturday morning omelette-making or for curling up and cracking the spine on a new book. The songs I chose are ones that have brought me a sense of peace. Maybe they're better suited to a cafe setting with snow gently falling outside, but we're recalibrating our springs and this year's looks like it will be a gentle awakening.
