With a 28-song library of our newest folk/pop discoveries, this is your new reading soundtrack! 📖 SPOTIFY: spoti.fi/33zatgM APPLE MUSIC: apple.co/359BOX5 SOUNDCLOUD: soundcloud.com/alexrainbirdmusic/sets/read-relax-a-peaceful-folk-pop

Thank you for the Spotify playlist. Great music mix to relax on a weekend. 🧡

[@Ally-ug3nq]

Listening while working from home and having a Bengal spice tea with soya drink.

[@mariadelosangelespintos1845]

Thank you very much for all your playlists, Alex! They're mellifluous and calming, exactly what I need when I'm studying or reading for college. I also appreciate that you dutifully mention the artists and authors of the songs (or at least their indie performers, whichever is the case), as it not only gives more notoriety to their voices and their work, but also allows us to look for every song and follow them, too! Such great indie artists here! And their music is so soothing that I'm willing to have the little ones in the family listen to it for relaxation. Who knows, maybe I end up using it for meditation and coolers with my students. So thank you very much! I'm already subscribed!

[@ashleighvilk1094]

Do you think my track #Bigwildworld would fit in your playlist?? :) Loving this mix this morning...I've already discovered two new artists! Thank you!

[@janinime3149]

Thank you for the pleasure of hearing it while studying and come down from a stressful day! Greatings from Germany

[@IndieFolkMusic93]

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.

[@lattapatta1904]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@Hitkendlofi]

If your reading this, it's probably night time or maybe your studying for that upcoming test you have, or you might not be doing anything, you might just want to listen to some calming music. No matter the reason, I hope you know that everything is okay, take a deep breath, pause your studying, stop what your doing, look outside, go outside if possible, just for a minute. Take a minute to take a couple deep breaths outside, get some fresh air. Fill your lungs with the cold air outside, take a minute to look around, look at this beautiful earth we live on, it may be flawed but it's still beautiful. Just like you, I hope you dream, I hope you find yourself, do what you want to do, find your happy place, be around the people you love! Do anything that could help you. I might be a stranger talking to another stranger telling them what to do as if I know them, but I want you to know, you're loved by many. It might not feel like it but I promise things will look up for you. You'll find love, make friends with the greatest people, achieve your dreams. I hope you can live your own life, be the happiest you possible. ❤

I love your Playlists, they are my fav music and I use them for walking, sleeping, when I'm happy, sad. I feel like this one is more for when you feel melancholy, I'm kinda down today for no specific reason and I'm doing housework and it is soothing me. It's more of a breakup list lol. I use it when I walk in the woods and it's good for when you're exploring too.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day! :)💖💖💖
