Happy November!
It’s a short one today. October was insane in more ways than one and I know that I wasn’t the only one experiencing that. Eclipse season did a number on us all! But the music goes on, and aren’t we glad that it does?
For this month’s playlist, I’ve compiled a small list of cozy tunes that range from Fred again’s pulsing beats to Iron & Wine’s soaring vocals. It’s the season of colorful leaves, cozy sweaters, and soup! This playlist is best enjoyed in the later afternoon / evening, wrapped in your favorite jumper and with a cup of soup in hand (dealer’s choice on the soup).
Happy listening! And as always, let me know what resonated with you this month or if there’s something you’d like to hear more of.

- ten – Fred again…, Jozzy – Can Fred do anything badly? I don’t think so. I’ve been listening to this on repeat since it came out and the slightly muffled bass hits me in the chest in such a delicious way.
- Suburban Legends (Taylor’s Version) – Taylor Swift – Tswift gets better at throwing shade every goddamn year, and I’m here for it. Even if the shade is being thrown at Harry Styles.
- Ode to a Conversation Stuck In Your Throat – Del Water Gap – This is the only song by Del Water Gap that I listen to. Any suggestions of what else I should check out?
- Don’t Delete The Kisses – Wolf Alice – If you’re a fan of the show Heartstopper, you’ll recognize this tune. Wolf Alice does such unique things with sound. I recommend reading the lyrics because these hit home.
- Beautiful – Yana – Yana is new to me this year and this song is so…beautiful. It really captures the complicated-ness of being in a relationship while life is happening around you and through you.
- Afraid of Heights – boygenius – Off of their EP “the rest”, Lucy’s vocals in this are captivating and this might be my favorite song off of this record…but if you ask me again tomorrow that might change.
- Flightless Bird, American Mouth – Iron & Wine – It’s the season of Twilight, so I had to include a classic. Those movies might be campy, misogynistic nightmares, but for someone who read all the books and saw all the films when they came out, there’s a level of nostalgia that somehow softens the pain of how absolutely terrible these films are. An even bigger bonus? The music in all five films SLAPS. It will forever be its biggest redeeming quality.
- Heroes – Peter Gabriel – I rewatched Stranger Things in October (because that’s as spooky as I get) and I was reminded of this beautiful tune. Originally by David Bowie, Peter Gabriel takes this rock song and turns it into a heart wrenching ballad supported by a full symphony. The use of this song in Stranger Things makes me cry every time.
