2026 inspiration playlist (Patreon)

Hi folks!

2026 is nearly halfway over, but for me, it felt incredibly short. I haven't been home much this whole year so far, there was barely more than a month of the usual everyday life between the time I lived in Athens and my long trip to East Asia. After all that, all I yearn for is boredom and the banal prose of everyday life.

Most of 2026 I spent in various spaces made to resemble home - hotel rooms, rented flats, holiday homes, and in transport between those. Music kept me grounded and sane during that time. A lot of it fed straight into my writing - sometimes it was the imagery or lyrics that influenced a certain scene, sometimes the atmosphere that helped me write.

I made a the playlist with some of the songs I were returning to while writing this year. Here are the links:

I'm curious if you have music that makes you think of Dawn Chorus too.
