Travelmarx Summer 2026 Playlist – Never Be the Same

A composite image of 36 albums used in this playlist.

For our summer playlist, we chose the title "Never Be the Same." It feels right for this moment because the pace of change can seem too quick, and it’s easy to look at a place, situation, or people and think that’s it; it’ll never be the same. Either in a good or a bad way. This playlist doesn't propose anything other than acknowledging this feeling.  Spotify link. 

We picked the title just because we liked the song of the same name by Yana Pavlova & Pavel Milyakov from the album "Thrill". Later after including it in our playlist, we learned (here, here) that Pavlova passed away in February 2025.
