A Playlist for Every Mood

By: Emily McCaslin

What is one thing everyone has in common? Music.

We may not all listen to the same genre or style but almost everyone loves music. Billy Joel once said, “I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by.” 

We are always looking for the best song to listen to for what we are feeling in the moment. These are 3 specific playlists to listen to when you are in these moods, or if you simply don't know what to listen to.

To listen, simply open the spotify app, go to ‘search’, press the camera button on the top right hand corner, then scan these images to listen to any of the public playlists!
