3AM MIXTAPES

3am Mixtapes is (was) a music podcast from Kirk Hamilton. Each episode explores the top six songs of an oddly specific subject. 

3am Mixtapes: Episode Three: Lying on a Hillside

Hey look, it's another episode of 3am Revelations' very own podcast!

Each week on 3am Mixtapes, I will present to you, in my dulcet tones, the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as broad and vague and Best Duets, or they can be as obscure and specific as Best Ukulele Songs.

This week, I was thinking about driving songs. There are plenty of "roadtrip mixes", for speeding down a highway on bright and sunny days, but what about other times? So this week, I give you the Top Six Songs To Listen To While Lying on a Hill in the Middle of Summer While Staring Up At The Stars. They're the "songs of the summer", but not the ones about getting lucky or lines that are blurred. Ones that are more introspective; thoughtful songs.

Featured on this week's podcast is:

"Baptism" by We Are The City
"Family Tree" by Evening Hymns
"A Soft Place to Land" by Kathleen Edwards
"Sometimes I Forget You’ve Gone" by Dirty Three
"Lazarus" by Porcupine Tree
"Dondante" by My Morning Jacket
