Today is October 2, 2019, the time has finally come. The time for spooky season 😈
I am so excited for Halloween this year, I mean, usually I always am; but this year especially. I feel like I always have high hopes for Halloween. I imagine my friends and I get dressed up as Bring it On characters and going to the hunted house. However, my Halloween always goes like this: I get dressed in all black to go to school and when the school day was over I would go home. Usually, later on, that night I will watch America Horror Story. Sounds sad yes I know, but this year will NOT be like the rest. This year will fulfill all my spooky desires especially because I’m in Artoberfest and the haunted house is on Halloween night. The whole day is just going to be a great spooky-spooky vibe.
So to keep tradition I have an October playlist for your listening desires!
Although this playlist is titled “Spooky Playlist” no songs on here have any demonic saying or message. However, most of the songs are pleasing to hear and I recommend listening to all the songs with headphones and full volume.
Personal opinion about some of the songs
The first song to be featured on the playlist is Nani’s Interlude by Raveena. I came upon this song by coincidence. I was listening to a radio playlist and when this song started I was like hold up- run this back. The peaceful melody that plays behind the narrator’s voice (which I assume is Nani) is so beautiful. I recommend listening to this song when you are writing it could maybe inspire some ideas.
The second song is Stand Still by Sabrina Claudio. I knew of Sabrina Claudio from her song Confidently Lost (which I also recommend). She has this certain sound with her music that is so beautiful, it’s like when you listen to this song you are automatically at peace. It is truly a magical experience also I recommend listening to this song when you are in your feelings.
The next song is Lay me down by Steve Lacy and let me tell you guys something I can write a whole blog post and playlist solely on Steve Lacy. That is how much I love him so dearly he is such a talented individual. Lay me down has an old school/ prince/ blues vibe if that makes any sense. I promise if you listen to the song you will completely understand me.
The last song I will be reviewing is Warm Winds by SZA featuring Isaiah Rashad. Just how I stated with Steve Lacy on how I can write a whole blog post and create a playlist. I can do the same with SZA, her music is transforming when you experience it. Her voice is very unique and has a sound that none else can ever intimate and with Warm Winds that exactly what she does. In the first part of the song, she sings as she is speaking to you and everyone else in the world. Including the last part, it’s a whole beat switch that she and Isaiah harmonize on gorgeously. I also recommend listening to this song full volume and while writing.
Let me go add this to my playlist right now1 Your taste in music is exquisite steph!
I am also excited for Halloween. Artoberfest is going to be great, and I feel like this Halloween will be different. Also, thank you for your introduction and the opinions because I enjoyed reading them.
