Take a Listen: June 2025

Welcome to our monthly series, where we explore the music tastes of our staff.

Prince has been my go-to lately. You can’t go wrong with Prince, no matter your mood.

~Shelia

I’ve been listening to the ‘90s Rock Essentials playlist on Apple Music. It’s also a great hype song to get ready for a busy summer reading day at the library.

Did you know that thunder is said 34 times in the 4:52 song runtime?

~Hannah

This song is so healing. No matter what you believe spiritually, you can find some kind of peace and connection in this song. The lyrics are poetic and the soft melody is like a gentle lullaby from the universe. The gospel choir in the end just gives me chills. 

~Alyssa

This song has always been very moving and this version really amps up the emotion of the song. I also saw this version performed live before the recording came out, so the song has a special place in my memory.

~Shane

I’ve been really attached to this song recently. It touches on growing up and the passage of time, something bittersweet to listen to as I get older and discover myself. 

~Emily B.

I’m working through some stuff so that is why I like it.

~Dawn S.

I’ve been vibing with 90s/early 2000s country recently, and this song really hit.

~Megan

I’ve been on a Les Mis kick lately. It’s a musical that never gets old for me, it’s so beautiful and powerful and… it’s just a masterpiece if we’re being honest.

~Maycie

Happy listening!
