Walking Playlist

The music-focused inner ramblings from your eccentric walking commuter.

I walk to and from work almost every single day. And I love it- especially on beautiful, warm days where I can just take my time and enjoy the world around me. The best part though? Listening to music!

Some days I can play a single song over and over during my commute, other days, I’ll play a movie soundtrack and immerse myself in my own fictional universe. No matter what kind of day I’m having, I’ll always have some music blasting through my headphones.

Depending on what I play, it can change the entire vibe of the experience y’know? And depending on the the weather or the type of day I’m having, I will curate my music to match the mood. I wonder if other people do the same thing? Probably, right?

Let’s Talk Music

The music I listen to constantly changes. Even looking back at my Spotify top 100 songs of 2022 vs 2023 vs 2024 tells me that my taste in music is hardly consistent. But, I do keep a few dedicated playlists and soundtracks that remain in my rotation time after time.

So in the habit of sharing, I wanna reveal some of my personal playlists that I keep coming back to during my commutes.

City Pop Sunday

This playlist is one I’m still adding to regularly. Whenever I’m walking to work and playing this, I always feel like a main character of a story. The plot and the setting shifts depending on the song, but I find myself walking with more of a skip to my step and I’m more prone to dancing lol.

Thursday Morning Lofi

I like this playlist on rainy mornings! It’s also good for the lazy, sluggish days where you don’t have too much energy, but you’re not sad. It’s a relaxing listen and I feel calmer when I play this one.

Silent Hill 2 Soundtrack

First of all, to me, anything Akira Yamaoka touches is a BANGER. But just in general, the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack is an iconic classic. This being one of my walking playlists, brings a totally different type of vibe. Whenever I play this, my commute feels a bit… uncanny, slightly off. It almost feels like I’m in my own horror movie/game, which isn’t the vibe for everyone, but a vibe that I personally enjoy.

Nosferatu Soundtrack

No notes, I just think this soundtrack is beautiful. I have been playing songs off this album since the movie released.

Midnight RnB

Just a collection of some of my favorite RnB songs, and currently a work in progress as a playlist. But idk, sometimes you just wanna yearn for a bit.

Music is Healing

I love music so much. It really satisfies the glans. I enjoy my daily walks where all I do is lose myself to the sounds coming through my headphones and I hope that many of you share a similar feeling.

Let me know if you listen and/or like any of the playlists I’ve shared here and if you have something you think I’d like (song wise or playlist wise) feel free to shoot me your recs in the comments/replies.

Until next time, keep the music playing ❤
