‘Where words fail, music speaks’. – Hans Christian Anderson

What word would best describe my music taste? If I wanted to be brief I would probably say eclectic, but it is usually a mix of indie, alternative and rock. Sometimes I can also be in the mood for classical and movie soundtracks. Basically if a song from the most obscure genre allows me to escape reality through its haunting lyrics and melody, then it would definitely become one of my favourites and played on repeat until every cell in my body is drunk with it.

Walking down the woods of musical notes∼

Music adds a touch of colour to every grey scale moment of my life. So today I wanted to share with you some of my most favourite artists that I listen to on a daily basis. Lately I have gone into the habit of listening to music while reading as well, because having music in the background creates such a wonderful atmosphere to the story and this also helps me when making a playlist for the book later on.

I’m always saving songs in one random playlist and later on use them to create other specific playlists, mainly for books and road trips. Here I have included three favourite songs from each artist for you to check out. I hope you get to meet your favourite song in this list. May it bring you joy to your darkest days, and make you do a spontaneous dance while wandering the aisles of your favourite bookstore! Also feel free to share any of your favourite artist/song in the comments  🙂

Now all you have to do is close your eyes, crank up the volume and set your mind free…
