ThSome videos are made to be watched closely, and others are meant to quietly exist in the background while life happens around you. This one is definitely the second kind.
I filmed this timelapse in New York City on a clear day with views of the skyline, moving clouds, and the Empire State Building standing in the distance while soft acoustic guitar music plays in the background.
It’s simple, calming, and designed for those moments when you need a little atmosphere while you work, study, read, journal, or just slow down for an hour.

A small soundtrack for everyday life
I’ve always loved having gentle instrumental music playing while I work from home. It makes everything feel a little softer and somehow helps me focus without feeling overstimulated.
That’s the feeling I wanted this playlist to have.
Something peaceful you can leave on in the background while answering emails, studying, cleaning your apartment, reading a book, or watching the clouds move outside your window.
And honestly, pairing that kind of music with NYC skyline views just feels right to me. Even in such a busy city, there are still these quiet little moments if you slow down enough to notice them.
💌 Thanks for listening
If you end up spending part of your day with this playlist, I hope it brings a little calm to your routine.
And as always, let me know: what are you working on, reading, or studying today?
See you in the next one 🤍
