Great tunes that take me back ... to what I don't know exactly, but it's a cozy place.
When I need to wake up at a specific time, I prefer to awaken to music. I have a few song snippets I use as my alarm.
I refuse to use the phrase "yacht rock" after someone on here (if memory serves) wrote an enlightening article about its origins. I grew up on soft rock and transitioned to harder rock after I discovered my parents' radio had FM capabilities, and that they didn't object to me changing the station as long as I changed it back when I was done listening.
Sorry it's taken me so long to follow up; it's been a very busy morning. It wasn't a Substack piece. It's a Rick Beato video, titled "Yacht Rock Is Bullshit": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEYUw2kiRfc
Very original post! You always come up with really good and creative ideas.
Not familiar with the songs, but I can totally relate to the feeling of needing those extra 3 (or 5, or 10, or fifteen… 😅) minutes to face the inescapable reality of another day 😂
Thanks Andy, this was a fun one! Tina and I both agreed we want to go back to being awakened by music in our new home. It’s such a lovely way to be eased into the day
My dad listened to a syndicated radio show called "Solid Gold Saturday Night" almost every weekend when I was growing up in the '80s, and pretty much all of these songs bring me back to that time. I miss my dad (gone now 4 years next month), but he lives on in songs like this, and that just makes me love them more. Thanks for sharing!
There’s something so comforting about this music from my youth, a simpler time, no responsibilities, good times with family. Thanks for being here Matt!
I enjoyed the setting of the scene, Mark. The lying in bed, the snuggles, the comfort, and the warmth—not just of the bed, but of each other. While I am unfamiliar with the songs you detail, music being the soundtrack of these precious, intimate, and routine moments of our day is another example of why music and song are the universal language of humanity.

A cozy place indeed!! It’ll always be soft rock for me. The music of my youth for sure and takes me back to a simpler time and place
Going to have to check into the origins of “yacht rock” now!
Please enlighten us when you find out!!

Awesome! Thanks for the link! I googled between errands earlier, but hadn’t had a chance to really read any of what I was finding

Wildfire was one of the 45s I had and played on repeat with my little Holly Hobbie suitcase record player when I was little ❤️
Ah man, I remember those little suitcase players were all the rage back then weren’t they! Wildfire really is a classic
