I’ve done these before–night time playlists–but I think the topic deserves revisiting. After all, more than 20-30 songs match a night-time feel. Stars, tranquility, blackness, bleak. Doesn’t have to be depressing, just has to feel like it fits best at night. When the day’s ending, when the daily deliberations and responsibilities are resolved, when retrospection takes hold.
Most of the time, I used to fill these hours with TV or movies or video games. That’s less and less now. More, I feel the need to escape. Completely and totally. Those aforementioned activities and mediums used to do the trick. I could play video games for hours and wholly lose track of time (I had music simultaneously playing, coincidentally. Didn’t focus on it exclusively, however).
Now what works best is music. Can’t tell you why because I really don’t understand. Maybe because music forces me to concentrate, much like a book.
Anyway, here’re some more night songs.
