Special-purpose playlists

The other day I wanted to create a driving playlist with Kajiura songs, and I've been meaning to post them here, but it took me so long to remember that, that I ended up forgetting which these songs were :XD:

Anyway, so I decided to create a thread so that people can share their special-purpose playlists (e.g. for driving, for workout, for trying to sleep, etc). I'll dump my own songs in here when I get my brain back :XD:
 
I used to have a workout playlist, until I stopped using headphones all together for all purposes (besides gaming). But "signal" used to be on it. I thought it would give me strength to power through sets of workouts, but in contrast, it ended up DRAINING energy from me. It's a very negative song in my opinion, with a lot of unresolved conflict and disorder.

Interestingly, I used to have a "plank playlist", which was I believe five songs total, and one of them was "storytelling" (FictionJunction) and "believe" (Kalafina) was also in it, I think... I would skip the song of the playlist once I got tired of it and the final song would be "heavenly blue" (Kalafina), usually for the final 30 seconds of my plank goal, because the first thirty-seconds of the song flies by very quickly (and is my favorite part of the song).
 
That's very a good idea!! I was planning to create a playlist for specific Kala songs as well, I was gonna make a playlist for dark/light/orchestral/experimental/etc Kala songs but I always end up getting lazy smh, when I used to study or write something, I'd put all of Kajiura's projects including her compositions together in one playlist and play it, I need to start creating playlists for her and her other projects too.
 
I have my phone on random selection when I go cycling in the morning, so with mixed stuff between Kajiura and other Japanese music, but the songs that usually make me cycle faster are One Light, In the land of twilight under the moon, Destination Unknown, Magia, Ongaku, To the beginning and, oddly enough, Vanity. When I want to slow down, I usually choose My long forgotten cloistered sleep (FictionJunction version).
 
I'm the weird type who actually listen to loud songs before I go to sleep. Nowadays the playlist is filled with Korean group lol but back then some of the songs I put on the playlist were destination unknown, Mata Kaze ga Tsuyoku Natta, and progressive. Now only progressive remain on that playlist.
 
The only Kala playlist I have is one of a bunch of their ballads that I hardly ever listen to :p
 
I don't exactly have any pure Kajiuran playlists so to speak, but I do have a weightlifting playlist featuring tracks from the Berserk and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OSTs, as well as Kalasongs like Consolation, Obbligato, Mata Kaze, Magnolia, To the Beginning, Heavenly Blue and Destination Unknown and FJ songs like Toki no Mukou and Stone Cold.
Oh shit you lift?? What's your routine like

I recently started a program and I'm dying with leg day back to back squats and DL smfh #weakaf
 
This morning, when going cycling, I had a playlist made of some Italian pop songs and then Magia, KantanKatan, To the beginning, Blaze, Signal, Magnolia, In your eyes, Neverending, Märchen, Seventh Heaven and Red Moon.

Off topic: As I came back to my house, I stopped to pick up the mail and greet the neighbor. However, my headphones fell off yet my phone kept playing the song, so Red Moon exploded in the middle of the street at maximum volume, exactly at the point towards the end when all three are singing kajiurago and Keiko is having her part. My neighbor stared at me like I was crazy, and once I managed to turn it off (not before the next song started, which was Death Note's first opening), asked me, "Do you really like listening to people's tormented screams when you go cycling? You will go to hell young lady!"
It was rather interesting to realize how different that part of Red Moon sounds when taken out of context.

I've always thought that red moon kinda sounds like a summoning ^^
 
I'm the weird type who actually listen to loud songs before I go to sleep.

I do it a lot too. Generally I'll start at a specific song (recently it's been 3:45AM by ling tosite sigure, which isn't exactly quiet) but it goes onto shuffle from there and, well, I have a thousand or so songs on my player and some of them are pretty goddamn loud, on account of all the metal I have. Loudness of song doesn't stop me from sleeping I guess, although it's been this way for years and as such I actually find it super hard to fall asleep without music playing.

I can't really say much about the topic though. The only playlist I have is one which has a hundred or so songs which I consider to be near-perfect out of the 25k or so songs I have. There's a dozen or so Kalafina/Kajiura songs on there I guess, but I don't listen to it often. I'm almost always listening to whole albums if I'm on my laptop or using shuffle with what little chunk of the music I have I can fit on my devices when I'm out or in bed.
