Songs to stay inside to

Being stuck at home is harder than I thought.

To say that I miss my friends, family, coworkers, bandmates and partner would be an understatement. Focusing on work is difficult. But I’m staying positive by focusing on the rare free time I have on my hands. I’ve got plenty of things to keep me busy: recording demos, writing, reading, practicing guitar, making art, exercising (I’m gonna have a six pack by the time this is over), baking (might cancel out the six pack), school work, cleaning . . .

But I’m sick of being productive. Now more than ever I have to remind myself that it’s okay to sit back and watch all of Tiger King in one sitting, or deep listen to a favorite record locked in my bedroom.

Johnny, Andrew, Niko and I compiled this playlist of songs we’ve been listening to lately to help everyone take a breather, dance and maybe discover something new. Take a break from being productive and just listen to some music. Maybe you can call up your friends on Zoom and have a bedroom dance party. Or you could put on a pair of headphones and shut out the impending doom of the world for an hour.
