The Long And The Short Of It

i wanted to make a short mix using long tracks. so i chose six epic cuts of varying origins and slowly blended them over a heady flame for 85 minutes; creating a super chill scene on the inside of your eyelids. may inspire naps.

Songs About Nothing

there’s nothing easier i can do than lyin’ around doing nothing. sittin’ in the mornin’ sun, sky so clear and blue. nothing to do, nothing to say. go where you want to, take all the time you need to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free. everybody was having fun elsewhere; but tonight i just want to stay in and be with you.
