Campfire Tunes: Winter’s Best Playlist for Fireside Feels

Campfire Tunes: Winter’s Best Playlist for Fireside Feels

Whether you are sitting around the campfire by yourself or with others, it can be a time of reflection or activity (think roasting marshmallows or someone strumming their guitar to sing along with). The soft crackle of the fire can be like music to one’s ears in the silence of the woods. When I think “campfire” though, I think of music that enhances my experience. There are certainly many songs that one can imagine listening to while seated next to the flames in the firepit, and/or songs that come on in everyday life that evoke the image of campfires past and future.

There are many playlists out there that would be fabulous to play while watching the flames dance. I have heard sad playlists, happy playlists, and just about everything in between. There is no right or wrong list of songs. It is all about what heightens the experience for YOU.

So… what campfire songs resonate most with you? Do you enjoy ones that start slow and build up momentum as the song plays? As if you had just touched the match to your firestarter beneath the logs? Or do you prefer ones that are already ablaze, as if they are harmonizing with the fire roaring before you? Or do you fall in the camp that likes their songs slower, more sultry, like the embers left in the pit as the fire dies down?

Thankfully, you don’t have to choose just one type! I certainly didn’t.

Below are some of the songs that move me the most. Ones I love to hear playing as the warmth of the fire reaches out to me across the darkness between us. I believe there is a good mix of styles, enough to appeal to almost anyone.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy listening to the playlist as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
