Why PLST matters?
We believe that every song has two lives.
There’s the life before the song is released which involves the artists who worked on the song, the inspiration for the song and the environment they were in. The second life starts after it’s released to the public which involves the way the song shows up in our lives.
Playlist Storytellers is all about exploring the second life through memorable stories.
In the right setting, music is magical. It is the soundtrack to a memory or a gateway to a new feeling.
There’s a reason why you remember that song from that one movie scene. There’s a reason why you get transported back in time to the exact sights, smells and sounds of a memory when you hear a certain song
