The songs you play on repeat this year will drop you right back into this exact year when you’re forty.
STILLNESS
WHAT THIS MEANS
Music attaches itself to a period of your life and keeps hold of it. Years later a few bars will put you back in a car, a bedroom, a particular season, with a vividness nothing else quite manages. You are building that archive right now whether or not you mean to.
Save a playlist of what you are genuinely listening to and label it with the year. Then leave it untouched for a long time.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Which song is becoming the sound of this year for you?
MORE IN TIME, MORTALITY & LEGACY
- Someday the most normal Tuesday dinner with your family will be the thing you’d pay anything to sit at again.
- Your hometown keeps going after you move. The diner gets new owners. Visit the places you love while they’re still…
- Your first paycheck will feel huge and small at once. Remember the feeling. It’s the start of a long story.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
