I have to say I’m not knowledgeable about music. I enjoy music and love to see live music, but I’m not one of those people who can spout off a million band names and songs. I’m instantly happier if a bar has a musician or band, even if it is just covers. I believe music can touch your soul, make you feel energized, and boosts your mood. I have no idea how to, or even want to, categorize my taste in music; I like what I like. I tend to go for more indie type music and bands, and some of my favorites include the Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, and Bishop Allen. I am so envious of those who have musical talent and I tell P all the time in my next life I’m going to be a musician, I can just feel it. 🙂
Melyssa over at the Nectar Collective challenged us to get out of our box and find some new music and create a playlist for our second Creative Collective post. Can I just take a second, and say (again) how much I love the Creative Collective. I’m truly enjoying doing these projects and seeing what others put together. Hop over and take a look at the list and see if any speak to you, you can join at anytime.
The first two songs listed are not new to me but ones I wanted to share with you. Bombadil is a local band we got to know after seeing them perform live at a music festival. If you have an opportunity to see them live, you should go…they are fantastic live and you really see how talented they are, they all take turns singing and play multiple instruments, it’s amazing.

I actually have a really hard time finding music I like because it’s such an emotional experience for me. I was shocked that I actually came up with a whole playlist of new music that I like for this challenge. I’m going to give your list a try, too. 🙂
Hope you like it! I will have to see what you came up with…it’s funny how music strikes people in different ways. I’ve really enjoyed seeing (hearing) everyone’s posts for this one.
This looks fab, is it too late for me to join the project? This playlist is fab!
Thanks! No not too late at all, this one is open for 6 more days and you can join the whole creative collective for any project you want.
Love love love the let her go cover!
Me too 🙂 I always stop and listen to this one when I hear it pop up 🙂
So I’m going ’round these link up posts, and all I can think is “how did I miss the notice you have to be a lover of (what I would define as) indie/alternative music to join?!” haha it’s crazy how everyone has such a similar taste in music, and I’m over here just bopping around to my pop-rock, blissfully unaware.
Thankfully, I’ve learned not to be ashamed of my musical likings (really, there’s no reason to), and so today has just been a day of discovering new things. Don’t tell anyone, but I like your playlist best so far! 😉

Oh Johanna…I’m sure you say that to all the bloggers 😉 I am really surprised at some of the similarities too! No shame in choice of music…you like what you like 🙂 Unless it is country(the top 40 stuff) then I shame you (joking-sort of). Thanks for stopping by!
Well, I’m supposed to comment on your playlist… but I live in Canada and apparently we don’t get Spotify, so I can’t listen 🙁 I’ve never heard of any of these songs, so I’ll be sure to check them out online!
Sorry Amber…I didn’t realize. This is my first time trying to put together a music list, I didn’t know the best system for delivery.
I don’t know any of these! Apparently I live under a rock. I’ll check these out. I love finding new music. It can make my whole day.
I take this comment back. I just realized the song I thumbs upped on Pandora was the Jasmine Thomson version of Let her go. I’m not as out of the loop as I thought 🙂
I do that all the time. Like I said, I’m not one of those that knows a bunch of band names or songs. I tell people all the time I don’t know or I’ve never heard of it and then as soon as I hear it I’m like “hey, I know that song and love it” 🙂 Most of these are new to me all new too and I searched things that don’t seem that popular.
You might be my new music mentor. Seriously. This playlist is amazing. Jasmine Thompson’s Let Her Go gave me chills it was so beautiful!
I know, right-it gives me chills every time too! So glad you enjoyed it. I’ve gotten so many responses I do wish I had shared a couple more of my favorites. I may do another post 🙂 I was so proud of myself figuring out how to embed the playlist 🙂 I usually listen through Pandora, but may up my use of Spotify just do have post material 🙂
I’ll have to give this playlist a listen! It looks fantastic. I have way too much music but I can’t help it. I have lots of moods. 🙂 Hope you’re well dear!
Hope you find something you like! I mostly like more upbeat music…I think because I listen a lot while I work. Hope you are well and your new shop is humming along!
Oh how cute! This is so fun and cool to get a glimpse at what your style is!
Thanks Tiffany! I thought about doing 5 established favorites and then 5 new to me songs. I almost wish I had gone that route, but it was fun branching out 🙂
I think the creative collective is cool, too. It’s nice to be pushed out of your creative comfort zone sometimes. Thanks for the music suggestions! I’m always looking for new stuff to listen to! I’m a lover of all kinds of music 🙂
I’ve had a lot of fun with it so far! I’m really looking forward to Wednesday’s link up to see what other people came up with!
at first i was suprised that i saw “witch doctor” on the list but then realized it was a different song that i know…the one that i know is “witchdoktor” and is a rave song LOL
i’m so old that i don’t really know any of the “hit” songs.
I’m pretty sure none of these would be considered “hit” songs 🙂 I went pretty obscure in my search. Sometimes when we go to shows I wonder if we are too old to be there, then I just have another gin (top-shelf) and soda and don’t worry about it. I’m to old for that well stuff 🙂
Oh wow- I haven’t heard any of these songs. I’ll need to do some listening today!!
Well, apparently is proven to be good for your brain 🙂 Happy listening!
