Day 18: A song to listen to while cooking dinner

I cook a lot and there are a few different directions I considered: a lively tune while chopping herbs, an aria while making pasta, an absolute bop while I weigh ingredients as the oven preheats.

However, as we get ever closer to Halloween I'm slightly witchier than usual so here's a recent addition to my kitchen witch playlist which doesn't seem very culinary coded but Kiki fighting a demon and me splitting a huge butternut squash has surprisingly similar energy 😂

Strange Premonition - Kiki Rockwell
 
Day 17: A song for listening to around a campfire/fire pit
Boreal forest in the evening - Earth
I've experienced both singing around a campfire and the comfortable lull of conversation when nature fills the quiet. I prefer the latter so here is a recording that feels familiar to me. I appreciate that the obnoxious buzz of mosquitoes and the frequent slap of hand to skin and quiet cursing is excluded from this recording 😁

nature can be so loud...i would need someone or something that could calm my mind and blackout the noise...thats what it sounds like here right now at night...the crickets and cicadas are so loud.

Making popcorn with the swedish chef - the Muppets
This was always a favourite when my kids were little, sometimes they would play it on repeat as they banged pots or messily mixed batter with me. But always while we made popcorn since it is timed nearly perfectly with the time needed for microwave popcorn to finish.
I recognize that the character is an unpleasant stereotype and I made sure my kids knew that too, if that helps.

A nice big crackling fire can help with that, cicadas I haven't experienced so maybe it wouldn't help for that sound
 
Day 18: A song to listen to while cooking dinner

I often listen to my audiobook while I’m cooking. But sometimes I love putting on good tunes and grooving around my kitchen.

Let’s dance!

Oh shoot!! This reminds me I think there’s a new episode of Roller Jam out! So excite!
 
Day 19: A song from a band that you haven’t seen live but want to (alive)

I love this band and I love this song so much.
Always wanted to see them live, but never got around to it.

BUT, I have made out with the singer at a party in New York once :)
It did not go any further, even though I would have totally been game, haha. But I guess he wasn't.

I love the lyrics in this song, just like I love all his lyrics.
Not that I always understand what they mean, but the way he puts words together is just beautiful and for me that take on a meaning that I can relate to.
And this passage especially really hits home with me.

"I think this place is full of spies
I think they're onto me
Didn't anybody, didn't anybody tell you?
Didn't anybody tell you how to gracefully disappear in a room?"

And there is this one, it is hard to explain what this means to me, but I love it so much.

"And now I'm sorry I missed you
I had a secret meeting in the basement of my brain"

What a cruel prompt to force me to choose only one 😭🤣
Okay of my top 4 I have seen one already, going to see another this spring, one I'd want to go with a special person and one I'd want to go for the energy
So.... Disturbed
