Get your groove on – our favourite playlists for different moods
July 24, 2023
Music. Probably a distant relative of magic, judging by its ability to make you laugh, cry and feel all sorts of emotions, in a span of a few minutes. We’ve all been there — listening to sad songs on repeat when we’re sad, or binging on love songs when we’re… well, in love. It plays an ever-so important role in our lives, whether it’s helping us cope with difficult periods or being the catalyst for when we want to let our hair down.
And music, of course, is best enjoyed when shared with the masses. With that, here’s our compilation of songs according to three distinct moods not unfamiliar to us. So plug in, close your eyes, and let the wonders of music take you away.
Listen when… you’re in need of a good pick-me-up. Whether it’s at the start of a new week or halfway through the day, get your energy levels going with this playlist. Featuring an eclectic mix of oldies and alternative music, it’s time to get your groove on!
