Mid-Week Music #130 - Quick Stop for Coffee

Ann Arbor coffee shops: places of absolute relaxation, yet productivity. Amidst the slight emission of sunlight reflecting off the fresh January snow, I order a London Fog Latte with a just-right amount of steamed oat milk. It is here that I can, thus, envision a playlist centered around a quick coffee run, or rather, a temporary moment of serenity and pause. Centered around soft indie and luminous folk-rock, I reckon this playlist can be utilized as a motivator for subsequent academic endeavors. Through artists such as Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Mt. Joy, and Beach Fossils, I sought to explore the possibility of a cathartic afternoon glow, whether this prompts individual reflection or meditation. 

i tell myself

to purchase a coffee

and sit (a thoughtful selection)

and “sand people” begins

i imagine a presence 

upon the sea 

i tell myself

to listen earnestly

and reflect (a conscious effort).
