the music i grew up with, in my formative years – i am so fortunate to have found music that connected with me so deeply. i have little need for new music. it feels like a bonus when i discover a new band or fall in love with a new song. but the love for the old songs is as strong as ever.
there is so much of it too, that i can rotate the playlist forever and still be happy. driving home on saturday morning with lily, “temptation” by new order was our car-dance-party hit and i couldn’t imagine ever coming across anything else quite so everlasting. doused with beauty and vitality. i could listen to that song all day and not tire of it.
i don’t want to downplay any amazing music i have loved over the past few years. in recent times – santigold, grimes, diiv, chvrches, blessed isles?
