Episode 2: Lighter — The Tracks That Lift You Up

In this second episode of Off the Beaten Track, we’re shifting gears and easing into a lighter mood. Today’s playlist is built around tracks that brighten the edges — songs with warmth, bounce, and that subtle lift that sneaks up on you. From feel-good indie gems to smooth, melodic standouts, these tunes might not hit as hard as the belters, but they shine just as brightly.

Whether you’re looking for something to soundtrack a slow morning, a late-night unwind, or just a moment of escape, this episode brings the kind of music that lets you breathe a little easier. Settle in — it’s time to float for a while.
