HEALTH ~ MUSIC PLAYLIST M U S I C PLAYLIST Health CURATED BY ALEX WATTS “CIGARETTES AND CHOCOLATE MILK” Rufus Wainwright Wainwright dealt with substance abuse years back. Prior to getting sober, he released this track about indulgence. He’s now sober and continues to release good music. “IN MY LIFE” The Beatles John Lennon and Paul McCartney lost their moms when they were teenagers. From loss to love, putting every hardship and good time in perspective makes this song an essential Beatles track that everyone can relate to. “HELP YOURSELF” Amy Winehouse This underrated Winehouse track will resonate with anyone who has wanted to help someone but feels limited in providing solutions. It also speaks to focusing on ourselves and the power we have within. “A BEAUTIFUL MORNING” The Rascals Focused on new days and groovy beginnings, this victory song has a fresh beat and is an ode to feeling good. “BREAKIN’ UP” Rilo Kiley Shouting along to “Oooh, it feels GOOD to be free!” has a special meaning after rough days or times.
