This is the September 2023 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"(Where Do I Begin) Love Story (Away Team Mix)" - Shirley Bassey (Greatest Hits, 1995)
A dramatic pop cover that leans into big, theatrical vocals and a sweeping arrangement.
"Mr. Roboto" - Styx (Greatest Hits, 1995)
A synth-driven rock hit with a playful, mechanical hook and a big singalong chorus.
"i haunt ur dreams" - hey, nothing (i haunt ur dreams - Single, 2022)
A hushed indie-rock track with a lo-fi feel and a restless, late-night mood.
"Drift Away" - Dobie Gray (Ultimate Collection: Dobie Gray, 1973)
A smooth, easygoing soul tune built around a relaxed groove and an unmistakable refrain.
"Babylon" - David Gray (White Ladder, 1998)
A piano-led ballad that helped define late-1990s adult alternative radio.
"Diggin' Up Bones" - Randy Travis (I Told You So: The Ultimate Hits of Randy Travis, 1986)
A classic country heartbreak song centered on regret and plainspoken storytelling.
"Just Like Heaven" - The Cure (Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (Remastered) [Bonus Version], 1987)
One of the Cure's best-known songs, with bright guitar lines and a buoyant melody.
"Heart of Gold" - Neil Young (Harvest, 1972)
A spare acoustic favorite that became one of Neil Young's signature songs.
"Nuthin' But A "G" Thang" - Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg (The Chronic, 1992)
A laid-back West Coast rap staple with a slang-heavy hook and a slow, rolling beat.
"God Save the Queen" - Sex Pistols (Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, 1977)
A short, sharp punk anthem known for its defiant energy and political bite.
"Michigan Militia" - Moxy Fruvous (You Will Go To the Moon, 1997)
A rootsy rock tune with a comic streak and a folk-club singalong feel.
"The Mermaid" - Great Big Sea (The Hard and the Easy, 2005)
A sea-shanty style folk-rock number with a lively chorus and coastal detail.
