Recap
'Tis the season of the Spotify wrapped. Or, in my case, the YouTube recap. I initially used YouTube because I like to fall asleep to ASMR videos; I have since paid for premium and switched all my music consumption to the platform. It's not necessarily better, certainly not for the artists, but convenience... Amiright?

Folk, Love and Hope. Top Story - December 2024.
The soundtrack of my year started off with the song Alaska by Caiola , an indie-folk singer. I had a new relationship starting to grow, but my fear of commitment to something more was creeping in. One of the lyrics is about resisting the urge to add another affirmation to the list on his lover's wall. Because that meant adding to their life and he asks if they were leaving or just coming home. I resonated with that greatly since I was always asking myself if I was coming or going. Whether I was going to finally stay this time, and had I found my home. He sings about being terrified to let the relationship mature, and wonders if they even should. That became a reoccurring line in my life, and in everything I did. I used to tell myself I was doing the right thing by leaving by hoping to spare them the pain of staying. I wondered if I was worthy of adding another line to their life. Always afraid that I might want to stay for once so I resisted.

They Got The Blues
Introduction I was listening to an album on the roots of Jimi Hendrix and the first song on was "Killing Floor" by Howlin' Wolf. Then I thought that Blues singers often had such excellent alternate names. Mckinley Morganfield became Muddy Waters although is real name was something special too.

I Remember the First Album I Ever Got
Do you remember the first album you ever got? For me, that album was singer songwriter Gavin DeGraw's debut studio album, Chariot. Gavin DeGraw's songwriting has captivated and inspired me. What I love about a lot of his songs as evident on this album is how down to earth they are.

The Great I Am: A Soundtrack of Victory, Faith, and Worship.
The weight of the world seemed to press down on me. It was one of those moments when everything felt too heavy—too much. My mind raced, overwhelmed by worry and doubt. Life had piled up in a way that made me question everything. Relationships, work, and my own inner struggles all collided, and I felt as though I was barely keeping my head above water. The stress seemed unbearable, and the more I tried to manage it all, the deeper I sank into frustration and hopelessness. But in the midst of the chaos, something unexpected happened.

Twelve Months Of Song
Introduction I am always listening to music while I work, and lots of songs stick with me, and often they pertain to certain months of the year, so I thought I would share one song for each month of the year, which either names the month or a special day within that month.
