“And Suddenly All of the Love Songs Were About You:” A Playlist for Falling for a Friend

If you're anything like me, when you listen to music while doing some mundane task, your brain drifts away and imagines scenarios and music videos to go along with the songs you're listening to. Well recently, a familiar face keeps popping up in these daydreams. In this post, I'll be talking about falling for a friend, and how the songs I associate with my crush on her change as my feelings progresses.

“A Brand New City:” A Musical Mitski Exchange

What's the greatest form of intimacy? Is it sleeping next to each other, or is it the ability to sit together in silence? I personally think that sharing your music taste with someone should be up there. Sharing the songs that you feel most connected to, the songs you play when you're sad, and the songs you find yourself playing all the time takes a great about of vulnerability. In this week's post, I'll recount a music exchange I did with a friend, wherein she shared her favorite Mitski songs while I shared my favorite Taylor Swift songs, and the reactions we shared while listening to artists we hadn't listened to before.
