v/m rewind IV (LP #40)

This week on LONGPLAY, and this we bring you v/m rewind number IV.

Alongside this radio show, we also publish a series of mini playlists called v/m. The format is simple: five songs, paired with short writings that offer a bit of background, mood, and moments the music might enhance.

Each playlist is arranged like a day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and late night. Capturing a full arc of emotion and sound in just five tracks.

We’re showcasing four of these playlists on air and letting the songs play uninterrupted, with reflections between each set.

Before each five-song set, we’ll introduce the theme and offer a few thoughts. At the end, we’ll close with a look at the final track and the story behind it.

The themes you’ll hear:

The Sun Rises in the East (An Exploration of East Asian Artists),
Autumnal Nostalgia (Songs That Make You Yearn),
Whimsical Musicals (Our Favorite Singalongs), and
It All Happened So Fast — Songs on Time’s Passing.

This is LONGPLAY.

Thanks for tuning in.
