Playlist #1: The Songs I Want To Feel
10 Songs On My Most Recent Playlist
Hello, hello!
I have a fun new idea for The Mindful Mama. Each month, I’ll be sharing ten songs I love. Whether they’re seasonal, fit a specific theme, are my favorites from a certain artist, etc. Music is my love language - so let me share the love!
This January, I’m sharing ten songs that go hand-in-hand with how I personally want to feel this year (which I shared more about here).
Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves
Healing and finding the deeper & richer meanings in life; letting go of the superficial
“The things I was taught only took me so far, had to figure the rest out myself. And then I found a deeper well.”
Live More & Love More by Cat Burns
On remembering what really matters
“When we're not here anymore it all comes down to who we were and what we stood for - not what we had and not where we lived.”
Cut! by Maren Morris
Letting yourself feel every imperfect emotion
“Cry my eyes out, I give myself permission. Every good show needs an intermission.”
Back in My Body by Maggie Rogers
On feeling like yourself again
“But all that I am hearing in the poem of my mind are silent twisted words finding their way in every line”
Easy Silence by The Chicks
Finding safety and refuge in your partner
“The easy silence that you make for me. It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me. And the peaceful quiet you create for me and the way you keep the world at bay for me.”
Sway by Kacey Musgraves
Letting go and relaxing
“Most of the time, all the thoughts in my mind keep me running. Show me a place where I can just think of nothing.”
Because, of course by Maren Morris
Embracing unconditional love
“Cross my heart, I'm on your side. It's no decision, it's decided.”
Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish
Beautiful friendships!
“Can't change the weather, might not be forever, but if it's forever, it's even better”
Older by Sasha Sloan
On growing up with Grace
“The older I get, the more that I see my parents aren’t heroes. They’re just like me.”
Giver/Taker by Kacey Musgraves
The balance of give & take with the people you love
“I would give you everything that you wanted and I would never ask for any of it back.
And if I could take only as much as I needed, I would take everything you had.”
Dear Reader by Taylor Swift
A song detail life advice, only for it to end with her revealing she’s still learning and figuring it out herself - like we all are
“Dear reader, burn all the files. Desert all your past lives. And if you don't recognize yourself, that means you did it right.”
