Generally, I construct playlists based on whatever it is I'm writing. Makes sense. I have angsty playlists, and romantic playlists. I have outdoorsy playlists, and girly playlists. I guess if I had to throw at word at this playlist, I would call it ethereal. I like that word.
Around Us - Jònsi
Byegone - Volcano Choir
Dust to Dust - The Civil Wars
Angels - The XX
Winter Ghosts - JBM
Fatal Shore - Andrew Bird
Give Up the Ghost - Radiohead
Grow Old - The Naked and Famous
Leland - Cemeteries
Heavenfaced - The National
Show Me the Quiet Air - The Franklin Electric
Well, there you go. I just gave you a taste of what I'm working on, and if you think I chose a bunch of songs with a corresponding theme in the title, I assure you I did not. Total coincidence there.
Oh, and if my collection gets old, which it does, I have become a fan of the new iTunes Radio. I find the Ambient or New Wave stations a soothing choice to write to. Just have to watch out for the urge to nap while they're on.

I love this idea! I guess the closest I had/have to this is my "homework" playlist in college, which was actually mostly reading. It was a lot of Matchbox Twenty and Goo Goo Dolls, just because I'm so familiar with their songs and find it smoothing, and also some Les Mis of course. I didn't really like listening to new songs because I would get distracted trying to listen to the words and see if I liked it or not haha.
