Hey there, Spotify listener. If this is your music streaming service of choice, you may be familiar with Daylists. Spotify curates these playlists throughout the day with tunes specific to your mood and the time of day, which can lead to some pretty wacky names. This got us thinking — what if it could create a daylist specific to Lakeland?

We asked our followers for a few suggestions of playlists they would listen to around Swan City, then we turned to you to round out the lists. Here’s what Lakelanders are listening to around town.
