Anatomy

I've been sternocleidomastoid-deep (that is, Neck muscle-deep) in studying bones, muscles, and lately: the nervous system. Although most of the terms used in this playlist would not be acceptable for my anatomy class, I find myself dreaming in anatomy terminology, and wanted to create a playlist for a much-needed study break.

Anatomy

Highlights

- Track 7/ Cold Cold Heart by Norah Jones

Norah Jones croons beautifully in my favorite version of this Hank Williams classic. This is one of my go-to songs to perform and I'd like to think I model my take on it after Norah's jazzy version. 

- Track 9/ Hands Are Clever by Alex Clare

Alex Clare is known for his single Too Close, but I think that every track on The Lateness of the Hour is simply good stuff. This track is funky in all the right places, and can come in handy when you need a dance break.

- Track 14/ Into My Blood by Carina Round

This haunting song was introduced to me by a friend when we were in middle school, and back then it felt like it represented all my teenage angst. I wasn't aware of the drug references at the time, but this song still holds its sentimental value.

Thanks for listening (anatomically)!

March Playlist Therapy

Again- just in the nick of time- another playlist for your ears' enjoyment. This month I've got a mish mosh of electropop/dance tunes and soulful folk singers. It's my birthday (month) and I'll play what I want to!

Highlights

- Track 6/ Talking Body by Tove Lo

This Swedish songstress's second single might be almost more catchy than her first: Habits. She writes her own stuff, and I like how it's fun and carefree from a strong female perspective. The melody in her chorus also sounds very familiar to me, but I haven't been able to place it yet. 

- Track 9/ Don't Wanna Fight by Alabama Shakes

Lead singer Brittany Howard can kill with her voice (forget looks), and I've been waiting for a song by this band that I really enjoy. Also this would be a really good song for a lyric analysis music therapy intervention on relationships. Guilty! I gravitate towards songs I can use at work.

- Track 15/ Wherever is Your Heart by Brandi Carlile

My roommate in college (who obviously has fabulous taste in music) introduced me to Brandi Carlile and I really fell in love with her EP of love song covers: XOBC. She's another one with a voice that can kill, and add that to a simple love song and you've got my latest favorite track. 

Thanks for listening (literally)!
