This Week’s Monday Playlist is Inspired by this black and white photograph of a woman in a bath, and a man reading a book to her. The way she’s looking both at him, and away from him, says a million things – some known, and some impossible to know. From this picture, and the stories I find myself wondering about, came the first Song of this Playlist, and from there it grew into 30 Songs.
Enjoy all 30 of the Songs via Spotify or YouTube, or by Pressing Play on the YouTube Playlist at the end of this Post. And, here’s hoping this Playlist gets you not just through Monday, but the rest of the week, too.
