🎧 Auditory Anchors: When Words Aren’t Working

A playlist for nonlinear expression, emotional regulation, and soul-level communication.

1. “Hide and Seek” – Imogen Heap

For when your feelings glitch like a broken transmission but still need to be heard.

2. “Motion Picture Soundtrack” – Radiohead

A slow dissolve into cinematic melancholy — like crying in widescreen.

3. “Holocene” – Bon Iver

You’re not the whole world, but you’re part of it. And that’s enough.

4. “Everything in Its Right Place” – Radiohead

Disorientation meets order — a sonic map for when your compass is spinning.

5. “Retrograde” – James Blake

A slow, spiraling descent into feeling, with a pulse that mirrors your own.

6. “Breathe Me” – Sia

A plea wrapped in piano — for when you need someone to hold the pieces.

7. “Space Song” – Beach House

Floating through the void, tethered only by synths and longing.

8. “Don’t Let It Bring You Down” – Annie Lennox (Neil Young cover)

A velvet-gloved reminder that even the broken things shine.

9. “River” – Leon Bridges

A baptism in soul and sorrow, washing away what words can’t touch.

10. “Weightless” – Marconi Union

Scientifically proven to reduce anxiety — like a deep exhale in sound form.
