There are so many songs about being lonely, thinking about someone, missing everyone and everything. But what about those times, or that stretch of time, that you’re glad to be on your own? To have the whole room or the whole road or your whole brain to yourself? Here are some songs that feel the same way, to keep you company. Not that you need it.
(Editor’s note: This playlist came into fruition because Intern Grace and Vanessa are teaching a workshop at A-Camp called “How To Be Alone,” and they made a zine to go along with it. All good zines need a playlist, so they asked Cara and Katie Millar to create one. You can check out the How To Be Alone Zine in its entirety here.)
