When Sam from Ghostly International asked me to make a mix for Herb Sundays I was as equally excited and honored as I was nervous about it. As a fan of the series, there have been so many good ones I’ve listened to and so many by people that I appreciate that it was a challenge to try and fit myself into that. I started making one that covered all of the music styles I listen to but it felt too disjointed and wasn’t actually a mix I would listen to on a Sunday afternoon at home. So I went more the honest route and just made one that feels very similar to what gets played around the house most Sundays.
All of these are songs that touch me in some way. Some are songs I’ve been playing once a week for years and others are songs that are newer to me and have been recently dropped into rotation. Some of these are songs I’ve cried to. Some are songs I’ve got high to. Songs I’ve listened to while making scrambled eggs and a pot of tea. Some that really make me think and others I just like the feel of. These songs work as well for sitting on the porch in Wisconsin with deer running through the yard as much as they do for listening to on headphones at an airport wishing I was home.
