I've mentioned before that I make playlists that match whatever mood I am in. I have several that range from 45 minutes to several hours. One in particular, I believe it was the first one I put much effort into, is my Bad Mood playlist. Now this doesn't mean I am feeling cranky or angry, just down and a little detached from everything. The music I put on it is very calm and relaxing, and helps me center myself. And I don't always listen to it when I am in a bad mood, it works equally well as something to listen to when I read or as background music when I am with friends. One song in particular off of this list that I love is Elephant Gun by Beirut. I love Zach's sleepy voice and the horn arrangements throughout the song.
