L(ov/if)e Story
[A combination of “Letters of Gratitude” and “The Sountrack of Your Year” challenges] . . My love, We are reaching the end of this first year, 2024, with no interruption of you in my mind and I want to thank you for your constant presence in my nomad life. I want to give you something that would remain in our minds no matter the passing-by of years to come. Since I know you love music as much as I do, this letter will be a humble musical depiction of what my world looked like/felt like throughout the year. I want you to see how, even when you were not physically there at times, you were always there with me.

Life Between the Beats
January: A Fresh Start January always carries that crisp sense of possibility. On New Year’s Day, I found myself waking up to the quiet strums of Maggie Rogers’s “Light On, " feeling like it perfectly embodied the hope I was grasping for. I made a playlist called “Fresh Beginnings,” determined to keep my mood buoyant as I set brand-new goals.

My INFJ Year of Empty Mountains

Reminiscing before the New Year
I stopped making or writing New Year's Resolutions in 2016. I had quit smoking on my own that year, then after about 2 months I fell off the wagon. I decided that year I wasn't going to fool myself anymore. I have a new tradition. Right after Christmas, I like to think back on the year and think ahead about the new year, and compare the lessons learned and goals still available for achievement. Thinking about a soundtrack of songs that represents the themes or moods of the past year is a great idea, so looking back at 2024 here is a month by month playback.

The Role of Music in Our Lives
Humans devote ample time to producing and listening to music. What music offers to humans is universally valued. This universality raises the question of the origin of human musicality. What is music for, and why does every human culture have it? Current theories focus on emotion regulation, social cohesion, such as group bonding, or the bond between parents and children, and communication. Here are six main reasons why we appreciate music (Spitzer, 2021).

How Does Music Evoke Emotion?
Music is remarkable in its ability to evoke profound emotions — chills and thrills — in listeners. And being emotionally moved by music is an inherently pleasurable experience. Most music listeners use emotional expression as the most important factor in valuing music and the decision to buy a song (Juslin, 2019). How does music move us?

My Harvest Vinyl Collection
Introduction I can't remember for certain the first Harvest record that I bought. My brother bought "Black Night" by Deep Purple and I then bought "In Rock" because both records shared the song "Speed King" which I always wanted to sing live, but, so far, have not had the opportunity. "In Rock" is back in my vinyl collection along with the ones I have included in the lead photograph, and this is a playlist of songs from Harvest Label records that are in my vinyl collection.

Train Tracks of 2024
For twenty-four years the music of Train has comforted, encouraged, and cheered me. Although most of the members have changed the music has never failed to resonate, always touching and influencing my inner monologue to bring back my inner song.
