I’m sure you’re probably wondering what the heck “unicorn milk” means and why it’s the name of this playlist. Well…this summer has been interesting, to say the least. Scratch that…2020 has been interesting! Due to COVID-19, obviously, this is the first summer that I haven’t really traveled. A couple of trips were canceled, for instance. Also, despite being a teacher who normally has summers off, I have still been quite busy throughout most of this summer, as there has been constant communication and work done in anticipation of and preparation for restarting school virtually. I decided to post this entry today, as my summer unofficially came to an end today with the first day of school, albeit virtually.
With that said, a bright spot for my summer despite the new lowkey normal created by the pandemic has been a playlist that was created by myself and someone that I’ve grown close to this summer. It was his idea primarily, and the playlist name is an inside joke(his humor). Don’t try to figure it out; you won’t! I actually feel that the playlist’s name perfectly fits in with the “crazy” theme of this year. I was surprised with the playlist via Spotify back in June. It subsequently moved to Apple Music, and immediately became my summer soundtrack. I can say with certainty that I have listened to this playlist more than anything else this summer. He created it and sent it to me one day; initially, it only contained 11 songs. Old and new. The more time passed, the more we would share songs with each other and/or make suggestions on songs to add…some real music nerd stuff! Haha. As I type, Unicorn Milk has 48 songs on it. Even though I easily could, I will not be highlighting all 48 songs here for your sake. This entry will be highlighting some of the songs on the playlist that were actually released this year. Separate entries will follow with other songs from the playlist.
I’ve created an abbreviated version of Unicorn Milk if you prefer to listen to the songs that way while you read. Enjoy!
The Songs
I will leave this entry with these 11 songs. Yes, there’s a common theme here…summer 2020 has certainly been unlike any other, but not bad for me personally by any means.
