2.45am has always been my favorite time of the day… I don’t really have a congruent explanation for it actually… I just think that that time of day posses something somewhere along the lines of ‘magical’.

Nighttime is seductive, I love it how your senses seemed hightened at night, everything goes quite, delicate, speech turns down to whispers, touch to caresses, even breathing takes on a different rythm, but in all of this, I have to admit that the thing I find more appealing is the quiteness. At night, everything goes quite and starts humming in a whole different level, you can listen to everything.

I like it how I can put on my music to just a whisper and still get to take it all in. There is nothing to disturb me at nights, it’s me and my thoughts, me and the streetlights, me and my pencil…

This is a very heavy folkish playlist, which suits my night humor right now, it’s pretty warm here, and I think this playlist is too, tell me what you think.

    uh, this is nice, pop-ish and easy.

    “Either/Or” is a good record. His best work in my opinion.

    For listening at night I prefer the dark and loud stuff, unless I’m studying, then I prefer ambient and minimalism. Especially the Deathprod boxset and Steve Reich are very good for late night studying.

    Are they releasing another Eliot Smith Record? There is some buzz online about him. I’m too lazy to actually search myself.

    I agree, I love the nightime and for the exact reasons as you wrote… so beautifully!

    I enjoy the placement of Cat Stevens in this mix. Sometimes he can get over-bearing, but “Into White…” blends in really well here.
