Wake Up Bomb

The next theme in the Playlist Challenge – a morning wake up mix.

  1. iLiKETRAiNS – Joshua
  2. Múm – Green Grass of Tunnel
  3. The Boo Radleys – Wake Up Boo!
  4. British Sea Power – Waving Flags (Wandering Horn Instrumental)
  5. El Guincho – Antillas
  6. HALFBY – Man & Air
  7. The Smiths – Asleep

This was the hardest. Because not only did it have to be good, it also had to serve a purpose – getting you out of bed.

So for one, it couldn’t be too long. It’s about 30 minutes long, which is usually how much time I spend in bed before getting up (I’m lazy).

My reasoning – I wanted something gentle, yet strong enough to wake me up. That’s why I started with Joshua, an instrumental track that is all build up. Then I cool things down with Múm. It’s the next track that I use as my alarm tone – Wake Up Boo!. Waving Flags through Man & Air, is my final attempt to get myself out of bed. And then I end things with Asleep. Because at this point, just stay in bed.
