The weather up here is really bleak as well. Coffee usually helps, but not always. Music definitely makes everything more bearable.

yup, totally get that. Caffeine just makes you do things faster, right? Music is a better tool to fight this overwhelming greyness. Tell me Kevin, what's your go-to song currently, when you need a boost? Mine is "Happy" by Future Chess Club https://open.spotify.com/track/7arEqLvEPdAQ3yjEGgMBZt?si=6ce6ffdebd804ff7

What comforts me the most right now is the fact we're past Jan already and much closer to spring 🌱

Listening to this EP right now. Thanks for the recommendation! My go-to song over the last couple of days has been "Fins" by Jimmy Buffet. It's silly, I know, but I can't help but think of sun/sea/sand when it's playing.

Don't be! I'm sooooo glad you shared it, really. It's awesome! And totally matches my playlist for holidays on Mauritius, that I'm currently planning 🦈

nie ma lekko.. to co mnie najbardziej napędza w ostatnich dniach to myśl, że coraz bardziej zbliżamy się do wiosny. Ściskam mocno, ogrzewająco i wspierająco 🫂💞

January is, in general, just the worst month of the year (and that's coming from someone who's birthday is in Jan!) and I think London is much like Poland weather-wise. I'd say you might have it colder, but it's really cold here this week!

Thanks for the playlist Stygi! Hope you're staying warm, relaxed and happy - here's to the spring!

It sure is! I'm also from Jan - 29th to be exact. Haha, that's right! We can join in weather-related pain... Hope the playlist has lift your mood up a bit. I'm doing better - we're getting closer to spring!

P.S. Sending hugs and late bday wishes your way!🫶

Ah, another Aquarius - that explains it! 😂 Happy belated birthday to you too in that case 🥳

You saying "we're getting closer to spring!" made me think of the song 'Sunset Coming On' - a depressingly uplifting song (yes apparently there is such a thing) that came from a Damon Albarn project where he worked with Malian Musicians. It might be up your street!

Oh wow Salty, that's an awesome idea for an issue! 💡 a mix of best depressingly-uplifting songs. Never heard about them or this song - I'll totally check it out now, thanks!
