OCTOBER
2021I have been anticipating October for a while now, as this month marks the one year anniversary of Mallie Mondays. I started this playlist/blog hybrid in October of last year, when I was in a dark place emotionally and in desperate need of a fun, creative outlet. Music has always been extremely important to me, but through Mallie Mondays, I have been able to deepen that relationship. And while I started Mallie Mondays purely for myself, it has become so much more than that in just a year. I have connected with loved ones, old friends, random acquaintances, and ex boyfriends through music that speaks to them. I have discovered tons of new artists, as well as older ones I had never listened to before. My music taste has changed for the better, thanks to all of your influences, and I am seriously grateful to know so many music lovers that I can share this with.
Now, for October 2021.
Inspo: Twilight, seasonal depression, warm soup, rainy nights, Vampire Diaries, full moons, all-black outfits, the PNW, sci-fi books, and combat boots.
‘These are a few of my favorite things’ about Fall, and specifically, October. I’m often asked which season of the year is my favorite - seems to be a popular ice breaker lately. I usually list off several reasons why I enjoy every season, but if I was held at gunpoint and had to choose, I would choose Fall.
When you listen to October, I hope it evokes all things perfect about Fall. I hope it fills all of your sad, spooky dreams. I hope it feels like the alternate soundtrack to Twilight: New Moon.
As always, listen top to bottom for optimal enjoyment.
Happy Halloween, Happy October, and Happy Mallie Monday.

I'm not irrational
I'm just no longer in the daydream

Once was held between us

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?

t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (feat. Travis Barker) - Willow Smith // concert for aliens - Machine Gun Kelly
Favorite lyrics (t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l ):
I don't fucking know if it's a lie or it's a fact

Smile in my face, then put your cig' out on my back

I heard you never graduated from high school
The food sucked and the kids were awful
I know you wanted me to go to law school
I dyed my hair, pierced my nostril

But you always wanted more

Glitter on the wet streets
Silver over everything
The river's all wet
You're all chrome
