.

A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth’s diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.
- William Wordsworth [pp]

note: Made this list just this morning. One of those slow, almost undefined slumber sound. The feeling one gets after driving all night or very early dawn. Before frisky chill and after late night stretch. It has variety of styles jazz hip-hop, folks, etc, but all in very slow tempo. They sound like post-rock on first glance. Anyway since I imagine there isn’t many practical use for this list except short moment in the morning, maybe this one can go next to the xylophone filled playlist from yesterday.

    Beautiful list. It also works for waking up late Saturday morning, still love drunk and hung over…
