My song for #21 “A song that puts you to sleep” on the Mix Tape Song challenge is MLK. It has always been my lullaby.

Thank you Martin Luther King -for helping us dream a better world.

We need a lot of dreaming today.

Sleep

Sleep tonight

And may your dreams

Be realized

If the thundercloud

Passes rain

So let it rain

Rain down on him

So let it be

So let it be

Sleep

Sleep tonight

And may your dreams

Be realized

If the thundercloud

Passes rain

So let it rain

Let it rain

Rain on him

-U2

What's the perfect song to play on a rainy day? 🌧 Testing this one out today here with a wintry mix. My Mix: Verdi Cries, 10,000 maniacs. Natalie Merchant's voice IS perfect.

I can’t tell you how therapeutic this was. I needed to give my brain and heart an ease this week. My word this year is balance. I spend so much time reading and writing (work), not enough time letting creative juices flow and maintaining connections (play). This week, I made being with friends a priority and eased up on my writing time- a little. I had SO much fun digging into this. I was on a scavenger hunt, finding songs that I hadn’t heard in years. I researched all the billboard hits from the year I was born. I’m not sure which part was better -collecting and narrowing down the 30 songs or listening to the mix after. Either way, it is just what I needed.

I hope for you too. Game on! 🔥 What's a song that makes you feel confident? 👆

💪 Mine: Phenomenon, Thao Nguyen
