A Weekly Playlist To: Chill in the Hudson

7/25/2016

I miss my sweet Hudson Valley. The thirty-three days till we are reunited will feel like a lifetime. Luckily, I have this thirty-three minute playlist to remind me of its subtle beauty and make the days go by just a little faster. 

Take a listen to the complete Hudson Valley inspired playlist here.
 1.Woodstock – Alice Smith Woodstock is not only the location of the famed 60s music festival, it is also the location of a very good cupcake bakery. The more you know. 
 
Spent ten days in Woodstock taking it easy
So would you please excuse me
‘Cause I’m feeling quite sad and I’m happy again
Because I spent ten days in Woodstock taking it easy
Feeling mellow like a cello
Go ahead part the seas and say hello to the fishes for me
 
2.River – Joni Mitchell If the Hudson River freezes over enough in the winter, people go ice yachting down it. I know.
 
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
 
3.Wildewoman – Lucius Before I went to college in the Mid-Hudson Valley, in a rural region, I thought I was a city girl, through and through. As it turns out, I actually love the natural tranquility of the woods, of the river, of the purple Catskills always framing my view. After two years of hiking, bonfires, and river-lovin', I think I am finally an official Wildewoman. 
 
Oh we’re gonna find another way back home
It’s written in our blood, oh it’s written in our bones
Yeah, she’ll only be bound by the things she chooses
She’s a wildewoman
 
4.My Dirty Stream (The Hudson River Song) – Pete Seeger Unfortunately, not everyone is taking care of our beautiful river. Fortunately, some people are writing beautiful songs about that.
 
Sailing down my dirty stream
Still I love it and I’ll keep the dream
That some day, though maybe not this year
My Hudson River will once again run clear
 
5.Hello My Old Heart – The Oh Hellos In thirty-three days, I will kiss the banks of the river and sing it this song.
 
Hello my old heart
It’s been so long
Since I’ve given you away
And every day I add another stone
To the walls I built around you
To keep you safe
 
6.River – Leon Bridges Are you getting the gist of the theme yet?
 
Tip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
 
7.Julep – Punch Brothers On Long Island, I feel rushed. I feel a pressure to constantly be busy. When I go back to school, I will live slowly again, and happily. 
 
Heaven’s a julep on the porch
Heaven’s a julep on the porch
You and me rocking
A grandfather is tick, tick, tocking to time
We used to wind it
 
8.Rivers And Roads – The Head And The Heart I'm really beating this river theme into the ground, huh?
 
Been talking ‘bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
And if you don’t know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
So if you don’t know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Rivers and roads, rivers and roads
Rivers ‘til I reach you
 
9.My Little Corner of the World – Yo La Tengo I wish a little corner of the world upon every good soul. 
 
Come along with me to my little corner of the world
Dream a little dream in my little corner of the world
You’ll soon forget that there’s any other place
Tonight, my love, we’ll share a sweet embrace

Again, the entire mix can be found and listened to here.

Happy listening.
GU
