I’m reading every single one of these and I absolutely love the fact that music, no matter the genre, artist or style, speaks to us all like this. When they try to tell you we’re defined by our differences, we’re not. Music is our souls’ language no matter the dialect

And I guess I should share a few of mine. “Into the West” by Annie Lennox. My parents were huge LOTR nerds. The books and culture were ubiquitous in our house. When the movies came out they threw hobbit parties. When the extended cuts came to theatres we watched them all
