1. "There's A Rhythmn" - Bon Iver

For some foreign reason it took me forever to get around to listening to the new Bon Iver album....but I had a spiritual experience listening through it for the first time during a Sunday morning walk a few weeks ago. Top to bottom, as always, it's fantastic but this is the song that's been sticking with me the most as of late. Maybe one of the less flashy ones but it reaches my core with every listen.


2. "King of Pain" - The Police

Not sure why but I've been getting back into The Police lately...I heard one of their songs in a store recently and decided to dive back into their catelog and rediscovered several favorites. Syncronicity II and Roxanne are the obvious ones but King of Pain lifts me everytime I hear it, and Stings lyrics as a retired English professor are always incredible.


3. "Pick Me Up" - Healy

New Healy album this month which got a listen as I walked around the neighborhood I grew up in in Pennsylvania around sunrise just a few days ago. This was definitely the stand out song for my ears...loved the duet and the blending of Healy and Hailey's voices


4. "What You Can't Have" - The Band Camino

Just listened to the new Camino album this morning and while I don't dabble in too much listening on the rock side these days unforntuntely, this album made me feel more excited about rock music and this song has already been played at least 4 times today. Amazing chorus and writing all around!


5. "Amoeba" - Clairo

An older one from Clario that I randomly discovered that's been a nice addition to my summer playlist. That's all for now!
