it's there when you find a song that resonates with you so so hard. someone else wrote that and here you are living their experience too. isn't that so cool?????
sometimes u go through something and then all of a sudden you relate to a song you didn't before or didn't as much as you do now. bonus points for when it's one of your favorite songs like i knew those addicting melodies and vocals were always hiding something meaningful with an air of serendipity to it ✨
Not only are you supporting local music, you are maybe one of the only people who knows the song in the first place so any feelings of nostalgia and niche experience are amplified in a really crazy way
I wrote this little essay about songs that are meaningful and not so meaningful to me and curious to see if you have a song/record/artist that if pivotal for you?? One that connects to a defining moment/or character development arc? 🤓
Sometimes I talk to my family or my coworkers or I hear an influencer online say “I’m just a girl hahaha” and I am like oh my godddd how can you still think like “blue means boy pink means girl” !!! And this literally affects their view on everything!!! What do you mean you think female dogs are “more drama” than male dogs!! They’re dogs!!! Get me out of here!!!!
finally using my portable CD player again to listen to my favorite album that isn't on any streaming services anymore!! it's so fun to have physical copies of media I like, and it was great to not use my phone for once (though the CD would pause every time I accidentally bumped into the player while I was walking to class; it was kind of charming but also pretty annoying).
