To mark the release of her solo album 被动的观众 (“The Passive Audience”) Penny Tai joins Apple Music as Guest Curator of the Follow Your Heart series of exclusive, handpicked playlists. First of the four is “Everyday Meditations”, a reminder to slow down and take the time to find solace in music. It’s a playlist “for when you’ve been busy all day,” she says. “These melodies gently take away weariness and frustration you can’t let go of.” Tai includes offerings from whispery, ASMR-inducing singer-songwriters like Iron & Wine, Beth Hirsch and A Girl Called Eddy, as well as her own track “随风所欲” (“As The Wind Blows”), to lull the soul for a good night’s sleep. “I chose tracks that have fairly gentle, basic and uncomplicated arrangements, with vocals suited for night-time,” she says. Tai shares her thoughts on some of her picks: “Telstar” by Chelou “This is a song I listen to before I go to bed and when I wake up. It ends the day with a calming energy and gives a solid start to the new one.” “To Let a Good Thing Die” by Bruno Major “The lyrics are extremely sorrowful yet forgiving, as if a friend is telling you, ‘Let go of all your trivial obsessions with daily life—you don’t need to focus on them anymore.’” “Fever Dream” by Iron & Wine “This song always reminds me of those days when I went to America to see my girlfriends for a bit of healing. That’s where I bought this CD. It’s a song full of fond memories.”
