At the start of this year I made some Spotify mixtapes, intending to do one a month – turns out that is harder to keep up with when you are leading a church!
The last 3 months have been brilliant and full-on. It’s been such a joy (re)connecting with Kairos people: gathering, listening, regrouping. We’ve been trying to slow down as a church, to make space to pray together and to rest. I think we’re relaxing a bit and dreaming some more.
All through this time I’ve been chucking songs into a playlist. It started as 10 for April then grew, my soundtrack for the first 3 months at Kairos. It needs deleting, posting or maybe just leaving alone.
I’ve gone for the posting. I’ve attempted grouping songs together so there is a bit of progression. Things start a little bit ravey, hit a more soulful groove then becomes more and more jazz-shaped before shifting between some of my favourite recent ambient tunes and Christian worship songs.
You could listen to the whole 2 hours, skip the parts that aren’t your thing or hit shuffle and see what comes up.

Bonus playlist – summer tunes.
Want something more upbeat? Here’s some older music that gets played on the summer days round the house or in the car.
