Shake-ups & Breakups is a separate repository of playlists. As I search for meaningful lyrics and uplifting tunes for my monthly playlists, I find songs about heartache, heartbreak, betrayal, and bad choices. These are then put into 48-song playlists, the number coming from a box of color crayons that I used on my Roadtrip. The entire series is anchored by Alan Walker’s 3-part music series that came out during 2018 – All Falls Down, Darkside, Diamond Heart. You can find these as the 1st song in each playlist.
