hi.
i originally made a spotify playlist of this and decided it could instead be a nice low-stakes ambient/meditative mix.
i wanted to convey plunging into the ocean, sinking to its lowest point; eventually, you would float back to the surface and, having found solace in the water, decide to remain submerged. so, the mix begins with pop songs and transitions to more abstract pieces until returning to stripped down songs. i hope u enjoy :)

the art for this mix is from weyes blood's photoshoot for the cover of her 2019 album titanic rising. it also happens to be my favorite record of all time. i don't make cool art (i wish i did) so i took something random from my computer. if u have something cool that fits the aquatic theme and don't mind me using it, send it my way!
