Aphrodite’s Lockdown Playlist: Songs To See You Through Isolation

We’re currently eight weeks deep into lockdown and we’re sure that by now you’re all feeling frustrated with the process – as are we. But, as with any trying time life throws our way, it’s vital to search for the positives. We don’t know about you, but we’ve actually grown accustomed to the slower pace of life. There’s finally time to read that book you’ve heard so many great things about. There’s time to lose an entire day binging Netflix. There’s simply more time to do things we couldn’t find the time for before.

Another silver lining of the lockdown process is the ability to spend more time listening to music. Here at Aphrodite, we’ve sought solace from songs, both old and new, that are able to lift our moods or take us back to happier times. With that said, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to curate a playlist to keep your spirits up in the days and weeks that lie ahead in lockdown. From Fatboy Slim’s ’90s anthem ‘Praise You’ to the late Bill Withers’ ‘Lovely Day’ and Midland’s ‘Final Credits’, discover a variety of tracks below to take your quarantine mindset to the next level.
