Just yesterday I heard a song in an instagram reel that I ended up really enjoying. I added it to a couple of my playlists and went on with my day. After revisiting it today, I still very much enjoyed it but gave the artist’s other works a listen and I did not vibe with it at all. It’s a frustrating feeling – the artist doesn’t owe the listener anything of course, but I was surprised at how much I liked this one song vs. anything else they’ve done. Was it the producer? Was it a song they sampled? Who knows. Whether it’s books or music I’ve stuck by the idea of not forcing yourself to try and enjoy something you’re not vibing with. There’s just not enough time. The song is still an earworm to me and I am sure I will listen to it for a long long time. Also, to be clear, it’s not to suggest the artist isn’t good – I’m obsessed with the track, I just didn’t click with their other material.

A lot of my posts lately have been very personal and this has been a good outlet for sharing thoughts, and I suppose, escapism. However, I do want to return to sharing interesting media and stories I read. From an authenticity perspective though, I don’t want to just post something so I can say I did. That’s not the point of this. I’ll keep searching for something that matters, even if it’s ridiculous.
