The Music of July (even though it’s August 10th)

Hi there I hope your soul is doing well. July ended a little over a week ago and it went by so fast that truthfully I am having a hard time remembering what all happened during that lovely month. I know I organized my sock drawer, went to New York City for a weekend, ate a bunch of good food and drank way too much coffee (but thats normal no matter what month it is lets be real here), oh I watched a ton of inspirational Will Smith interviews (love that guy), I saw Bad Moms in theaters and it was hilarious and wonderful and I want to see it again, oh did the Secret Life of Pets come out in July? If so I saw that TWICE and loved it so much, went to work, ran (sometimes), anyways you get the idea. It was a month filled with good and bad days. So here, without further ado, are the tunes that blessed my soul this month:

1. Forest Fires – Axel Flovent
2. 7 – Catfish and the Bottlemen (this has been on repeat)
3. The Kitchen – Tow’rs
4. No Future – blink-182
5. We Were Lovers – The Analog Affair (this one has recently been on repeat, I loVE IT)
6. Lost/Inside Our Minds – John Vincent III
7. Touch – MAALA
8. Losing Control – Russ
9. Sober – blink-182

The Music of June

This month held the heat, the rain, and the light. It also now holds memories, good and bad. Whether this month was the most amazing one you have ever had, the worst month, or just another regular one that seemed to go by too fast all I want you to remember is that you are loved. Here is a playlist that I made that will hopefully let light into your room.
