Playlist for silence when you're the first one awake.

just some mellow tunes to drink coffee to while everyone else is still asleep.

If you’re an early riser (or a late sleeper), give it a listen.

i think playlist listeners don't actually listen — so I tried turning a song into a short story instead

Getting a track onto a playlist feels like a win — until you realize most of those plays are just background noise. The song is there, but nobody's really listening.

The goal isn't streams. It's getting a song into someone's personal playlist because they actually felt something.

So I started pairing each song with a short piece of fiction and an editorial essay, with some AI help. The idea being that a song hits differently when it's wrapped in a story, the way a film score lingers longer than a track on its own.

First one is up for Eloise's "My Man & Me." Curious whether the experience actually lands. Feedback welcome.
