Atmosphere can be defined as:
A dominant intellectual or emotional environment or attitude.

There are certain albums that when you listen to them they create a certain atmosphere. Sometimes an album is perfect for a certain atmosphere. The other night I was looking for the perfect album to listen to late at night. I did not want something that would put me to sleep but something that would just feel perfect late at night. I came across the album, Marigolds by Ryan Auffenberg. It is a folk/rock album that is perfect for those times when you want to relax and listen to some really good music. The lyrical content helps create the atmosphere. Late at night listening to the track, Dizzy Spells is an amazing experience. The piano with the violin creates a haunting sound.

The lyrics are beautiful:

"Dizzy Spells"

Hold your breath

The water's cold at first

Most don't swim

Just drink to quench their thirst

Life and love and choosing what they're worth

Streams narrow and rip tides toss and turn

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

When no one knows you

It can feel like you're cursed

By saying so

That spell you might reverse

But when they all love you

And nothing ever hurts

You'll never be

The one that they loved first

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

Though they're just passers by

Their daggers hurt

But until they've jumped in too

What are they worth

Treading out to brave the swells

If you live your life for dizzy spells

Then I can't be the first to tell you

You might drown

But don't break down

This is a great album and I highly recommend it.
