Here's another playlist, this time dealing in that simple consolatory message which, while it can get on the nerves at times, can catch us in the right mood and offer some respite from the world around.
There's nothing terribly subtle here, & it's arguably far too much of a certain kind of sounds, but still, there are lots of nice songs. I haven't laboured over it too much, so it's probably pretty samey stylistically. Still, this kind of song is actually quite hard to do well.
Broadly, I guess this covers consolation, respite, hope and perseverance ...
