Assignment 23-Gibbs

On of my very favorite activities to do in the spring and summer is laying in the hammock under our porch while reading and listening to music. In the past couple of weeks I have been able to do this more often with with warmer weather. I like to make playlists for this time so that I don't have to mess with my phone or laptop during my period of relaxation. This playlist is an excerpt of 5 of my favorite songs that made the cut for my overall hammock playlist.

1) "Emmylou", by Vance Joy. I absolutely love the tune of this song and the lack of editing. It has the sound of an acoustic song without being one, and in my opinion, just makes you think of laying in the warmth with your eyes closed, which is exactly what I do while listening to it.

2) "First Day of My Life", by Bright Eyes. This song has a very similar overall feeling as "Emmylou", which is why they are on the same playlist. Both are upbeat, this one more so, but without a fast beat. I like that these songs, this one in particular, can be both happy and relaxing.

3) "On Top of the World", by Mindy Smith ft. Island Sky. Though there is another more popular song by this title, the two are nothing alike. This song has more of a dreamy quality to it, but still retains the happy-but-not-fast characteristic as the others on the playlist.

4) "Skinny Love", by Bon Iver. I know this song is not particularly happy, but what ties it together with the rest of the playlist, in my opinion,  is the acoustic qualities. The tone of the song just feels the same; I have also listened to it a thousand times and have not grown tired it, which is always a good sign.

5) "She is Love", by Parachute. Though this song id not quite as acoustic as the others, it is happy and still relaxing. I believe that it's style matches that of the other songs well, and blends into the playlist nicely.

So there you have it-my "Hammock Playlist". Even if you don't have a hammock, it could work for nay realizing activity that you can listen to music in.
