I am moving a week from today, and this mix is vaguely about that. Mostly, though, it features songs that are about change and also Cherry Chapstick (because it’s my favorite thing ever). It’s easy to be complacent, and scary to move on and out of a place you’ve been for a dozen years. But, if you just listen to Florence, you’ll forget all of your inhibitions and all the good things will come (or at least that’s the notion that putting feel-good songs in car commercials is based on). I think that’s the best part about music, that you get to close your eyes and feel like a super hero sometimes. And when you open them, you get to unpack a shit ton of boxes.
