There’s something so sweet about a gathering of friends, comfort food and comfort sounds. The playlist is almost as important as the side dishes. It needs to be the perfect background soundtrack, keeping vibes cozy and warm. Here are a few to add to your Friendsgiving playlist.
“Say You Love Me” – Fleetwood Mac
Any Fleetwood song would be sufficient for a Friendsgiving aux. “Say You Love Me” is a breezy classic that sets the perfect tone for a night of comfort food and familiar faces. It’s light, upbeat and perfect for dancing to in the kitchen while you prep.
“Wide Open Spaces” – The Chicks
For that moment everyone shows up at the same time and the room feels wonderfully warm and crowded, just as it should be. “Wide Open Spaces” is a sing-along comfort track to play while setting the table and reflecting on how far everyone has come since freshman year.
“Ooh La La” – Faces
The ultimate feel-good, rose-bud-thorn song. It has that slightly raspy, dad playlist charm that just hits different when you’re surrounded by the people who’ve seen you through everything. It’s the song to play when everyone is settling into the heart of the night.
“Our House” – Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
The perfect track to play as you clear the plates and wind down for dessert. Even if your Friendsgiving “house” is a cramped West apartment with mismatched chairs and a too small table, this song makes it feel warm, lived-in and like exactly where you’re supposed to be.
“These Days” – Jackson Browne
Jackson Browne delivers the true post-game Friendsgiving moment. “These Days” is slow, reflective and perfect for when the plates are pushed aside and everyone starts talking about life a little too honestly. It’s the emotional bow of Friendsgiving.
