For Everything But...'s May 2021 issue, I designed and lead the publication, while also writing a playlist. The story in original format can be found here.
Eventually, I found out that falling asleep to music was a surefire way to guarantee I slept. After all, it gave my mind something to focus on when it couldn’t shut off on its own. Focusing on Iron & Wine’s lyrics rather than that crushinglonelinessnocareerprospectsandbeingoverwhelminglyunsureofmyself just gives me one less thing to worry about.
This is a selection of calming and repetitive songs sure to lull you to sleep. With no chance of a pick up in tempo or a random electric guitar break, these tunes can get you through those bad insomnia days—or at least through those loud cicada mating calls (It’s 2021. Can’t we normalize a cicada having a career before a family?)
Start up this playlist and set your phone’s timer to stop playing after 30 minutes so you wake up refreshed and not with zero battery.
