With the stress of back to school, it is a hectic time of year and a mellow, calming playlist is just what the doctor ordered.  All of these songs were chosen since they have nostalgic lyrics that take you back to a calmer time in your life. Everyone needs to take a moment and just let go. This is your moment.

This playlist is sure to give anyone the urge to just go out and take a break because it is September 2017, the leaves are falling, it’s getting colder, and it is the perfect time to breathe in the crisp air and feel alive.
