Title Shinrin yoku
Ribbon
mixtape for slow evenings
A cassette collection for delicate ballads from the 80s, songs I listen to when the sky gets dark and my mind is dreamy and creative. Songs that recall slow evenings from another era, skies tinged with orange, fairy dust, and rooms suspended between memory and imagination.

put the cassette in and listen to the tape...
Side A

track 01
Why
Annie Lennox
for that kind of suspended, pale, enveloping evening
voice that envelops the bones
track 02
A whiter shade of pale
Annie Lennox
like a half-remembered dream drifting behind lace curtains and dusk-blue walls
for a softer, slower hush

side A drifts into side B like a room dimming into memory.

Side B
track 03
This woman's work
Kate Bush
notes as light as silk
for the tenderest hour of evening
track 04
Stay on these roads
A-ha
keep walking, even when the sky feels heavy
this makes me feel like I'm in heaven
track 05
Manhattan Skyline
A-ha
a sky made of dreams and tranquil neon lights
best listened to when the lights are low
track 06
Love song for a vampire
Annie Lennox
this tastes like fairy wings
best listened to when the lights are low
