Mornings are the worst! Who knew there could be sunlight before noon? As far as I'm concerned, the only good hours of the AM are between 12 and 5. Still, I'm told by reality that occasionally one must actually do things in the morning. In order to achieve this, I need to get in the right mood! Can't have Angry Morning Brian get in the way. How to mellow out, you ask? The right music!
There are certain tracks that don't move too fast, don't rage too hard, but still bring energy. They feel like they're shrugging off sleep so that you can do the same. The Chemical Brothers supply this with One Too Many Mornings and Where Do I Begin, both phenomenal tracks. Maybe you didn't wake up alone! If that's the case, let John Legend keep it going with Good Morning. In a jazz mood? Let The Heillig Manoeuvre start it up with Ladybug Waltz (you're going to have to get that one from me, too rare to find online). Hungover? Epitomize the feeling with one of Beck's stranger tracks, The Fucked Up Blues. You could even chill out to Adele's slow-moving Daydreamer. Maybe you're legitimately insane and enjoy masochistically waking up to Szerencsétlen by Venetian Snares.
Regardless of the taste, I think most of us can agree that today's song of the day really fits the feeling:
Star Slinger - Mornin'
This really hits the spot. Doesn't start off fast, but grows and finishes strong. Trust me on this one, you'll want to start your day with this. Or any other track in this post except the Venetian Snares one, that's only for homework time! Still, have a good morning, a good day, and get ready for my 3-part series of posts starting tomorrow!
