that brown feeling

Work has come between us, but I come to you now with my tail between my legs, and a brown playlist.

What is it with colours? It isn’t entirely a Kandinsky-type synaesthesia thing. I label these songs as blue or yellow; blue for mellow, yellow for upbeat. My own playlists used to be orange, white, black, yellow and blue. Figure them out. Then I got into weather and changed them to ‘rain’ and ’sun’. How do you categorize your music?

Brown is the feeling of sleepy nostalgia or deja vu, the kind you are too lazy to do anything about, or to even remember properly. The first song has the faint taste of the beach boys, but not too much of it. The second song always reminds me of night-time when you want to go to bed but can’t bear to turn the light off.
