Purrfect Playlist: My Top 5 to Sleep to
Meowsic was a big part of my life while growing up. My Mummy works from home and always has some playlist going. Sometimes they're annoying, sometimes they're soothing. Somewhere along the way, she realized what I liked and what relaxed me.
She may be a metalhead, but I am a lo-fi kitty. I love my piano, jazz and lo-fi. As the kitty of the house, I, of course, get things my way. Once in a bluefin tuna (I think hoomans use Blue Moon), my pawrents would leave this music on for me when they leave the house to go on their hunts.
Here are my top 5 playlists from YouTube and why I like them (do yourself a favour and check them out too, I've done the hard work for you and linked them):
I love a moody piano playlist. This comes from a game that Daddy plays and my mummy loves the soundtrack just as much as I do. I love it on days when it's gloomy out and there's water falling from the skies. I find myself perching on my cat tree and looking down on the world with this in the background, all while falling into my beauty sleep.
If you're like meow and grew up in a habitat that loves anime, of course, something like this will make my list! As a moody kitty, I love the sadder music. Contrary to your hooman beliefs, it makes me happy. To be able to curl up on my tree or my mummy without a care in the world with the sounds of a shakuhachi and piano.
According to the stories my pawrents have told me, they were playing this game long before I came into the picture. They spent hundreds of hours on it (which if they were cats, they would've wasted away a whole life!). Naturally, they still play this music to bring back meowstalgia and it grew on me. After all, it's quite soothing and I'm starting to see why they listen to it.
OMCG (oh my cat god), can we talk about how yummy those Koroks look?! I could bat them around for hours. Mummy has this tendency to get super addicted to game soundtracks. Naturally, I do as well. It has all the sounds that I enjoy and will put meow right to sleep. Maybe I'll dream about chasing Koroks 😺.
And here we are at number one! I have meowny reasons why I love this soundtrack. The first time I ever heard this music, I was still just a wee kitten. The moment I hear the first few notes, I turn into a bad baby. My pawrents used to have this lantern that I loved to swing on and I only ever swung on it when this game came on. Eventually, it earned me my new nickname of Stardew. Meowzers, do they think I'm a stripper?! I remember I would always get into trouble for swinging from the lantern. One day I swung on it so hard, that it broke... I don't think Daddy was very happy with me. But now, when I hear this, not only does it calm me down but it also brings back funny meowmories.
Thanks Nezuko! Great recommendations 😁
