The Beauty of Shuffle

I have a good number of playlists on my iPod, from "upbeat" to "commuting" to "classical" to "newish." But lately I've been stuck on shuffle.

It's so much more exciting to have no idea what the next song will be. This morning, from the time I got to the bus stop to the time I arrived at work, I heard the following:

"Brand New Day" by Joshua Radin
"Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
"Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day
"God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys
"Cold" by Matchbox Twenty
"Lose You" by Pete Yorn
"Reckoner" by Radiohead
"Wild Montana Skies" by John Denver & Emmylou Harris
"Keeping" by Embrace

I actually have some new songs to add, but I don't want to plug in to my laptop because it will reset the shuffle and be back to 1 of 900-something songs. And that wouldn't be fair to the other songs that I have yet to hear!

(In case you were wondering, yes. Yes, my songs have feelings. Apparently.)

What was your commuting playlist this morning?
