APRIL
2021What a Mallie Monday, indeed - right?!
I can’t believe it’s already April, guys. Is it just me or is this year flying by like a flash in the pan? As odd as it is to say - my life feels very full right now, and I’m worried that I don’t have any time to absorb what’s happening. Beautiful moments are passing me by, and I have no control over being able to stop and analyze, pause and repeat, etc etc. And so the story goes - time flies when you’re having fun (even guiltily).
This is my way of saying - no matter where you are at in your life, the bad and the good, don’t forget to breathe, exhale, and take it all in. Remember where you are. Ground yourself in the present.
April, from a young age, has always made me think of jazz - specifically the jazz I grew up listening to with my father. This playlist is jazz-heavy, and jazz inspired, but it’s also got a rock element to it that I think compliments the rest very nicely. April is bouncy, angsty, large and in charge, taking what she wants!!!!!!!!!! She’s not afraid to say what’s on her mind!!!! That’s the energy I want you all to take with you through the rest of the month. April’s playlist is meant to embody that feeling you get when you have a huge, huge crush.
Relax with April, and don’t forget to stop and smell those freshly bloomed roses.
Playlist Highlights:
April In Paris - Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong
Favorite lyrics:
I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace
Bongo Bong - Manu Chao

Every monkey like to be
In my place instead of me

No one knows who she is or what her name is
I don't know where she came from or what her game is

When Did Your Heart Go Missing? - Rooney
Favorite lyrics:
I meant every word I said
I never was lyin' when we talked in bed
I'm retracin' every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled
Stay High - Brittany Howard
Favorite lyrics (because it’s the best part to belt):
See all I do is keep it cool and don't worry 'bout what everyone is doing
I already feel like doing it again, honey
I just want to stay high
I just want to stay high
I just want to stay high with you
