An Interesting Way To Organize Playlists That You’ve Never Imagined

Playlists can be a playful way to connect different genres of music together. A great playlist can help explain a certain cycle of life or a specific mood. Thus, organizing a playlist around a specific mood is a healthy and charming way to sit back and let the music take you away.

Usually, playlists are arranged in line with moods and feature descriptive sounds; common playlists include: sad music, soft hangover artists, discover new music weekly, chill, country and workout music. These playlists are organized neatly and have been that way for awhile, but what if I told you there was a new way to organize playlists that is inventive, fun and associated with different drinks?

It works like this: drinks are associated with different moods, so conveying their moods through music helps kill two birds with one stone. This way of organizing playlists helps the mind easily dissect what exactly it wants to hear by what determining what you want to be drinking. It’s a cute way to let your brain fire neurons and then be entertained by the choice of music coming through your ears.

The best part is drinks can convey different moods for different people and the playlists will not be the same. For example, a playlist entitled ‘Red Wine’ will probably be a nice relaxing playlist to associate with time spent before bed time, or it can be utilized as chilled out music to have in the background when your girlfriend or boyfriend is over and you’re chatting about life.

A playlist entitled “Energy Drink” will be the songs that you use to pump yourself up, maybe even to replace the old “Workout” playlist. When you organize your playlists correctly, everything will start sounding better and will make your mood more relaxed.

For me, I would have a playlist entitled “Chocolate Milk” that would be used to comfort me in dark times. I use Nesquik chocolate powder and mix it with milk as my own sort of remedy to calm my nerves during troubling times, especially if I cannot sleep, have a sleep paralysis episode, or right before work/after bed. In many situations, this playlist would work as the comforting songs that make me feel OK with life, whether it be that Sheryl Crow song or that Henrietta song, they all work together, In short, the playlist would be a great thing to utilize — preferably on shuffle — to just let music captivate me the way music is meant to do.

“Scotch” would be a playlist of heavier songs that give me a good mind buzz and makes my hair stand on edge listening to them, almost correlating with how it tastes to have scotch sliding down my throat and taking over my blood. Here, I would utilize more of my hardcore bands, such as Every Time I Die, Cancer Bats and Grizzly Knows No Remorse.

It continues on and on, but this idea for playlists really lets your mind playfully associate moods with drinks and songs with your mental state. Your mental state will playfully choose what to listen to, so try it out for yourself and organize a few playlists. See what music start doing for you.
