"Actual sunrise" time was 7:25. Ah! I have one with that precise time:

My phone was taking things literally, with the playlist just getting to "Here Comes the Sun":

call me Super Ignorant; but how does your phone pick playlists?
Please fill me in, thanx!

You should add Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes to that playlist. Teddy Pendergrass at his best!

I designed the playlist.

Looks like Liz Waters got into the second shot. Long time no see.

My radio plays a random old Imus show to wake up in the morning. They're all on the HD.

"You should add Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes to that playlist."

Too negative!

I listened, and I hated the long piano stuff in the beginning. The voice is fine, but the sentiments don't fit the zone I am looking for, which is morning positivity.

As for waking up, I wake up completely awake and have no trouble at all mentally and physically, but I know that's not what the song is about. It's about needing to become "woke" in the socially conscious way:

There is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say


None of my morning songs are at all about how there's "so much hatred."

If I accidentally put in a song that had anything like that, I'd kick it off the playlist as soon as I noticed.

I'm not starting the day with the idea that the world is terrible.

Thanx Professor Althouse!
I thought (from the way you were saying it) that there was some app i didn't know about; that would go through your music, and think about what would be fun to play

I'd BUY (with cash money!) an app like that!

Gilbar, iTunes will do that. It’s a function called Genius. There are other apps too. I was just making a playlist out of things that mean a lot to me from my own collection. I have a particular purpose and like the repetition.
