Daydream Frequencies
Monday May 19th, 2025 with Audrey Pridham
Songs filled with spring serotonin + Mary Hopkin

Despite having gorgeous spring weather the last week, Ottawa has fallen back in a chilly slump :( But don't worry! I'm here to bring back some of that spring serotonin with some feel-good indie folk and indie pop tunes to get you in the spirit. Here's hoping that the sunny weather makes a prompt return. The spotlight artist for this week is Welsh folk-pop artist Mary Hopkin, and you may be familiar with her already as she had quite a few hits back in the late 60s and early 70s. Her songs are perfect for getting out of a cold weather slump. When the sunny weather comes back, be sure to go out and smell the roses (or whatever tulips from the tulip festival are left... 🌷)

Mary Hopkin never gets the credit due to her as an excellent artist. There's a reason Sir Paul McCartney worked with her. Thanks for featuring her today !!
