My "comforting" playlist...

Some time ago, I made playlists for my iMac.  I usually play them on weekends, when my husband and I are at home together.  I made an 80s list, a 70s list, a holiday mix, and a "comforting" playlist.  Basically, this is a list of songs that are "comforting", no matter which decade they came from.  I find the older I get, the more I want to listen to comforting music.  I no longer care too much about the edgiest, newest stuff, though I still enjoy it to an extent.  I like music that makes me feel good and relaxes me.  I figure as long as I don't start listening to Muzak, I'm okay.

Today, I turned on the mix because I felt like making bread and figured that called for a little baking music.  I've had the mix on all day.  I'm trying to listen to as much as possible, because I have it set to play in order of plays.  The songs I've listened to most often play first and so on.  I have so many songs on my comforting mix, though, that some songs never get played.  It's not because I don't like them.  I just never get to them.

I suppose I could rearrange the list, but I always end up changing it back to the number of plays...

So I've heard a lot of...

And so many others before I get even close to the end of the mix...

Good thing my husband is so patient and doesn't mind when I get in the mood to be soothed.
