Cross­ing the Alps playl­ist

To travel in between Vienna and Graz, until the never-ending tunnel under the moun­tains is finished later this decade, you have to take the train over the top of the Semmer­ing Pass, going up and down over the Alps. You get some spec­tac­u­lar views, and the train­line itself is a UNESCO site. It’s hard to take good photos out of the train window, so here’s my playl­ist for over the moun­tain.

I just wait, I just think

I debated which Codeine song to use, the compet­i­tion was strong. Codeine are often described as Slow­core. Slow songs in Steph­en Immerwahr’s (a fitting name- his surname is German for “Always True”) clear voice with vivid images about the small despairs of every­day life and rela­tion­ships. A long even­ing alone in the Winter. I imagine a lot of people will hate this and find it dreary, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s anything but.
