We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, you’ll find an album of theirs you love, a duet they’ve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball!
old soul is my favourite, here are some recs:
Let’s Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin It’s All Right - Sam Cooke Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore Security - Otis Redding Dearest Darling - Etta James
There is so much to explore!

🍫This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time.
You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…

đź’»If we click on a rec or ask to comment, like I'm doing now, it would be great that when I go back, it doesn't send me back to the top of the page but rather to the place where I was scrolling previously.

🌄I did it this morning, meditated, read a short story, watched the sun rise, and then got to work!
