Hey everyone! I’m back with the February edition of my new music feature. I had so much fun with the playlists created last time — do check out those on Little Onion Writes, Yellow’s the Word and by my co-creator Evi on Adventuring Through Pages. If you’d like to share a playlist I didn’t see do let me know. π
Monthly Mixtape is a music feature created by me, Eve @ Twist in the Taile, and Evi @ Adventuring Through Pages. Here’s how it works: each month, we give you a one-word prompt, and you make a playlist. We welcome you to interpret the prompt however you want and with whatever music youβre into. You can link to your Monthly Mixtape here.
Please link back to the original Monthly Mixtape prompt whenever you make a playlist. We welcome you to use the title image for your blog post if you wish. You can create a playlist in response to any of the prompts going forward, not just the current months, but you won’t be able to add your link once the new prompt is up. The next Monthly Mixtape will be up in the first week of March. π This month’s prompt is…
#2: schwarmerei
schwarmerei, noun: excessive and unbridled enthusiasm or sentiment
I hope you enjoy this prompt and I look forward to seeing your playlists. π You can add your link or view other links below.
Once more I’ve made my own playlist — this one was SUPER hard since I could think of a lot of great songs but, ah well, hopefully I’ll still get to use them in the future. Also, this was very heavily influenced by the podcast Wonderful because, well, it’s an enthusiastic podcast and so provides some very enthusiastic songs. (I do love it and would recommend.)
for when you want an excited, bubbly song to jam out your emotions to.
listen on youtube / spotify
secrets – mary lambert
money won’t pay – bo en, augustus
house of air – brendan maclean
don’t take the money – bleachers
happy with me – holychild
sound of silence – dami im
cut to the feeling – carly rae jepsen
good as hell – lizzo
I hope you like it! I also adore the video for Secrets and Good as Hell so if you’re into that I’d absolutely recommend them. π Have a good day y’all!
Schwarmerei is such a weird word but so strange in a good way! I love these playlist posts especially when I need inspiration for new songs to listen to!
Yes it is! Thank you, I’m really glad you enjoy them — I’m never quite sure if people like reading them as much as I love making them haha.
AAHHH EVE YOUR MIXTAPE. SO GOOD!! And I’m loving those Wonderful! songs!!
Thank you so much!! I just adore Wonderful, it makes me happy and has introduced me to some great new things. π
I forgot to do this last month! I’m trying to get back into blogging this month so *fingers crossed* I love the theme of this playlist but I feel like I’m going to have some trouble with it as well haha
Out of your playlist I only know Mary Lambert’s Secrets but I love that song so much β€ Got to listen to the entire playlist!
Aw no worries! Please don’t feel any pressure to participate, it’s all good π
Omg, I ADORE Secrets! It’s such a bop!
It’s going up today! π It isss! So many of Mary Lambert’s songs are though β€
Love this kind of posts! And thanks for the new music ideas, I always like discovering new music!

Oops I think I need to make it more obvious next time haha, it’s the purple splodge in the middle of the post! (I added your link there – I hope that’s okay, please let me know if not.)
Ohhh haha I get it now π Yeah of course that’s okay!
I loved your last playlist so I’m super excited to listen to this one! I’m starting it right now! XD
