Usually, my playlists are very carefully planned, and aside from a few organized by genre, are based on emotion and experience. However, there was there was one morning when I got up, and found myself outside on a chilly fall day, with everything was covered in an early winter frost. Past the buildings and the trees, a wall of cloud hung over the river, fazing stark whites through pale reds, coloured by the early sun.
This playlist was inspired by that single morning. The music is a mix of two moods; the first is a relaxed and beat-oriented, while the other is more dreamy and floaty. I recommend it for long trips by bus during the fall-winter transition. The bus really is the best way to pay attention to the landscape and the changing sky.

im not sure whether i like iron and wines cover of such great heights. even though i like both iron and wine and the song…i dont know. its just very slow, iron and wine style. its pretty, nevertheless. i think i like the original more.
Most of the songs on that playlist I’m unfamiliar with…but I think I get the gist of it. I think you should get your hands on the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex OST. In particular, there is one song called Velveteen that I think would fit into your playlist. It’s on my “haunt” playlist.
The Iron And Wine cover rules, although I agree that it’s not as good as the original. For some reason, I think of the cover as being done by a group like The Gentle Waves, instead of actual Iron And Wine.
As for the GitS OST, I’ll have to look for a place to find “downloadable samples”. Perhaps we can arrange a trade agreement. Of samples. Which are completely legitimate. (not pirated (honestly))
Yes, of course. I think I might know just the place to obtain these samples (for which to later purchase the album, if you should so chose to do so). You just hold on to your horses.
