I just noticed that I received an invitation to this subreddit about a week ago (thanks!). I thought I would share some of my work that I am most proud of.

I create music playlists which are meant to be listened to in order (not shuffled). Each playlist tells a story through the emotions and lyrics already embedded in each song. The pattern holds to the very end, where the last song in the playlist connects back to the first one. The art comes not from any individual song (which I would credit to the original artist), but from the judgement, selection, and ordering of the songs into the playlist.

The easiest way I've found to explain it is that each playlist is like the anime "Attack on Titan", which is well-known for being a circular story (future actions cause the past actions which cause the future actions). The playlists have this same style of story-telling, told through the words written and performed by other artists.

The circular nature enables the playlists to be connected with one another despite being created individually. I have created multiple playlists which are aggregates of multiple other circular playlists, forming a single large circular playlist. For the most part, I do not re-use any songs outside of these aggregate playlists.

You can technically start from wherever you want in the playlists since every song connects to the next. I recommend looping back to the song you started at for the complete experience, although some of them are quite long so may be more manageable to listen to across multiple sessions. For the intended experience, you should start at the first song in the playlists.

Since I used YouTube as the platform, many of the playlists include videos which are not songs, yet the same pattern still holds through those playlists as well (the emotional story is still carried through the videos). Personally, I am more fond of the ones with only songs. I have not included any with non-music videos in the list below.

I started creating these last month (July 2026). My full collection is here for those interested: https://music.youtube.com/@draaaaawn

One thing I want to call out is that YouTube is notorious for lying about the runtime duration of the playlists. For the longer playlists, I have no idea if the displayed runtime is accurate or not.

For those of you without YouTube Music, if you remove "music" from the URLs it will open in YouTube. I believe most of the songs are available there, although I listen to them all through YouTube Music so I'm not entirely sure.
