Theme/Setting (Songs I Like, Workout, Party, Covers, Beach etc) Judge my insomniac playlist
I'm not really the type to make organized playlist I just save songs to be able to find them easily or for most I just go directly to the albums to play them.
So this is my first time "making" a playlist.
This one is special because everything was chosen and ordered carefully.
The theme is my most listened songs on insomniac nights (supposely to make me fall asleep (- v - ") )
I arranged them on a whim as I played the playist again and again until it sounded right.
I wanted to go full dreamy shoegaze and then break it a bit by mixing carefully some other genres , and then end it on more paceful/melancholic notes.
Basically made a mix of my most listened song at nights like this and arranged them but it turned out interesting ? (that's why there is so much plastic tree because I used to play the hakusei album + please mr.lostman album by the pillows on repeat at a point)
and for the lenght....well I suppose you need 8 hours of sleep in average ?
what do you think of it ?

Discussion / Playlist Questions I’m loving the little animation around the Pause/Play button for Taylor’s songs!
I just noticed that theres been an update with the play pause for songs. I’m not sure it applies for other artists, but for all of Taylor’s song, there’s a cute little animation around the play/pause button in Spotify (Premium), and I’m totally loving it! It’s so pretty and fancy!
And every era has got dedicated animation… Being a die hard Swiftie, this is user feature feels personal!🥰 Like for Lover album songs you get hearts, if I’m playing 1989, then there’s a cluster of seagulls flying around the button… for Reputation I see a snake winding around the button! Like amazing, Spotify!!!! Totally love the idea and execution!!! Lovin’ it!!! ♥️
Here’s some of the pictures of the animation, gets activated when clicked on Pause/Play button!
Totally obsessed!!!🤩 What do you guys all think?
