what’s the song you’ve had on repeat and won’t admit?
sometimes a song does the feeling for you. you press play again not because it's catchy, but because it holds something you're not ready to put into your own words yet.
every day there's one live question, the same for everyone. answer it anonymously, see what other people said. it's all gone in seven days.
answer today's question →write down the song. then write down the line, the moment, the shift in it that keeps pulling you back. don't overthink why. just describe what happens in your body when that part plays. does something tighten. does something loosen. does it make you think of a specific person, a specific time, a version of yourself. write about what the song is carrying for you right now. you might find it's standing in for a conversation you haven't had, or a feeling you've been keeping at a distance. let the page hold it instead.
- write about the specific lyric or moment in the song that gets you every time.
- think about who or what you picture when you hear it, and why that matters right now.
- consider what mood you're in when you press play again, and what you're looking for.
for anyone using music to feel something they haven't found another way to feel. especially if you'd be embarrassed to explain why this particular song.
