1 month down. An unexpected bonus to listening and reading 1 song a day is that there is an organic book club growing in the YouTube comments of all of these songs.
I have been jotting down my favorite line from each song/essay, and this is my favorite so far, about his early writing ethos: “Set a scene and put some ghosts in it, then get excited about the ghosts.”

Two months down. Many of my favorites this month were from the lyrics themselves, but this description stuck out to me:
“The scene in your life where you remember that there are only two types of stories ever, comedies and tragedies, and the one you’ve found yourself in probably isn’t a comedy. That’s this song.” (About “The Recognition Scene”)

I am going to attempt to sip instead of gulp and listen to / read about one song a day. We’ll see how long that lasts.
