Been feeling like your sense of self is diluting into the collective mass lately?
Struggling to leave the comfort of your own bed to get out and deal with the rough, the bad and the ugly?
Is your emotional state jumping from a comfy, hazy daydreaming bubble to a heavy, crippling dark shadow in the blink of an eye? Do you then get dragged into a profound despairing, self-pitying kinda mood… until you get to smoke a big fat cheeky one, indulge in a night of liquor abuse or tap into the more psychedelic options being made available to you, so you can distance yourself from the harsh reality taking place out there?
Must be the season of Pisces! ♓️
Whether or not you’re convinced that your destiny can be read in the alignment of the stars from the day you were born, you’ll easily immerse yourself into this musical storyline, jumping headfirst into the cosmic ocean of sounds this mix has to offer.
For the astrology-waterproof individuals reading this, Pisces are commonly depicted as deeply emotional beings, struggling to stay in touch with the physical world, head in clouds and heart on sleeves. Whether it’s with a little help from a friend or from their therapist, they will shine bright as creative, empathetic, gentle and spiritual individuals…. as long as they don’t dive too deep into how fucked up our world is, how they’re victims of it all and the most effective way to overcome it is to cry, get real high and paint shit.
(Full disclosure: I am fully aware this is a fairly caricatural portrait of the 12th sign of the Zodiac, coming from a long line of Pisces and being one myself… but for the purpose of this mixtape, let’s embrace the stereotypes please!)
This playlist is an attempt to depict the rollercoaster of emotions that is a day in the life of a Pisces, a grand voyage towards the center of their messy cosmic soul and, hopefully, back on the ground.
It starts chill and misty, gets gradually moody and intense and just before it crosses the point of no return into the darkness, a friendly hand picks you up and gets you back on the surface, for a celebratory ecstatic dance. Put your anorak & wellies on and enjoy the ride!
