5 Afternoon Rooftop Playlists

If I had to choose one thing that could set the mood for the perfect afternoon, it’d be music. There’s something about music that just sets a tone, or makes you take your thoughts, slow them down, and reflect on life. Rooftop cafes are amazing places to relax and enjoy a nice afternoon. The breeze blowing through your hair, having a drink in hand watching life pass by below you is an experience not everyone gets to have every day. We’ve gathered these lovely playlists below that will keep you relaxed and in a good mood.

1. Afternoon Relaxation https://tunez.fm/track/afternoon-relaxation/

This is a playlist filled with songs that are melodic, slow-paced, relaxing, and ambient in nature. The songs in this collection are not meant to be particularly stimulating or emotionally moving. Instead, we feel that most of them possess certain low-key pleasantness which suits the disposition on most afternoons.

2. Afternoon Jazz https://tunez.fm/track/afternoon-jazz/

Late-afternoon sunlight is a tremendous gift for a human being. It washes away the sense of urgency, the stress, the long shadow of imminent deadlines. In those moments, the best soundtrack is the sound of a jazz ensemble, which mixes improvisation and structure in just the right proportions to suit that hour between 3 and 5 pm. This mix is a tribute to days when you have enough free time in the late afternoon to sit with a book on my roof terrace.

3. Afternoon Nap https://tunez.fm/track/afternoon-nap/

Here are some songs that would go well on a playlist for an afternoon nap. Slow tempo, gentle harmonies, and lyrics that don’t require you to pay too much attention. The songs are relaxed and melodic with the intent of helping you fall into a deep sleep even just for a short while.

4. Relaxing Afternoon https://tunez.fm/track/relaxing-afternoon/

For many of us, when the day’s work is done, we feel we deserve a break. And when you’re on a break, what better way to relax than with some tunes? This playlist consists of music to listen to on an afternoon when you’re relaxing with your favorite on the rooftop. This is the ideal music for long periods of sitting and thinking.

5. Piano Afternoon https://tunez.fm/track/piano-afternoon/

It’s a collection of piano songs we’ve put together for those late-afternoon listening sessions. Part of the reason why we like this playlist so much is that it doesn’t feel like a playlist at all. The tracks flow into each other so perfectly that it feels like you’re just listening to a single long piece of music. That’s exactly what we want to hear when we’re having a relaxing afternoon on the roof with a book and some tea.
