Day Four: Alt-J - Lovely Day (cover/mix)

Day Four: Lovely Day & so it shall be. Sorry for being a grumpus yesterday.  I'll be better behaved today.  This song is the chillest, upbeat, and I think you'll all dig this cover: When the day that lies ahead of us seems impossible to face, When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you and I know it's gonna be A lovely day.

Day Three - The xx - On Hold

Quarantine Daydream 3: The xx - On Hold Real Talk: I always enjoyed The xx, but when I heard both On Hold and I Dare You live on SNL prior to the album release, I was already hooked.  I Dare You is excellent, and I thought about posting it instead, but while it's great, it doesn't belong here.  I def don't want to see any "feelin' kinda cute, may open at an anti-quarantine rally later as I flap around about my rights to spread disease later.  PS, abortions are the real enemy, trump2020."  Hard unfriend. I'm getting grouchy.  The stars and the charts and the cards make sense Only when we want them to When I lie awake staring into space I see a different view Now you've found a new star to orbit It could be love I think you're too soon to call us old When and where did we go cold?

Quarantine Daydream Day Two: Black Out Days

Day Two: Phantogram - Black Out Days (Future Islands Remix) Forecast: cloudy for the next million days.  Moody lyrics with a killer tune that will dance around in your head for the remainder of the day. Hide the sun I will leave your face out of my mind. You should save your eyes, a thousand voices howling in my head Speak in tongues I don't even recognize your face Black out days, I don't recognize you anymore. (original version is great, I just love the Future Islands Mix a bit more today/in general) As always, the linked video is from the official playlist, so feel free to save/keep track for tomorrow's tune.

Quarantine Daydream Day 1: Closing Time

Hey all, Rather than bore you 'bout all my feels during this reverse-Home Alone, I'll just make an ongoing playlist supreme of super deluxe tunes to guide you through the wilderness; I'm rocking this black floral kimono robe with fluttery black lace half sleeves for the second day in a row, and am clearly feeling extra right now. I'll be posting a song for each day of quarantine, with fitting lyrics and songs that feel like home.  Each link to the song selected will send you to a Youtube list linked to the master playlist.  Rinse and repeat daily for maximum results.  Think of it as your motivation or reward for taking off your pajamas to shower and put on new pajamas. Related/Unrelated/Sidebar: I don't know about you guys, but as someone who was quarantined before Official Quarantine makes me think of one thing: that Invincibility Feather from Super Mario World that we all played on Super Nintendo.  You were invincible until you weren't.  Spirited an...
