[Main image description: an illustration of three Rider-Waite tarot cards fanned so the top card is the most visible but the two below are still recognisable. They are, from right to left: The Fool, the Five of Cups, and Seven of Pentacles. The cards have been altered so that on The Fool it is Odie the Dog from Garfield, wearing a jack o'lantern head, is the main figure, while the text on the card reads "June 2022" and the man leaning on his hoe in the Seven of Pentacles is Jon Arbuckle.]
June was a weird, scattered month where I did actually get things done despite it all - and this playlist reflects that. Rather than what I have been doing, which is base it around an album or two, I just added songs as it felt right. I barely re-arranged them either. Yet? It works? For me anyway. More refined tastes may want to choose shuffle over chronological.
There are several songs from films or TV on here, though the one that stands out the most for me is 'Someone To Say - Reprise' from 2021's Cyrano. It's worth watching the official lyric video so you can see the dancing. The movie is a straightforward adaptation, so it's a romantic tragedy, fair warning if you decide to find it to watch. Also, always, some Boy Jr. who has dropped an album full of good good tunes, many of which I've already been loving as singles.
