Music march 1/31

Music lovers, let’s make this a thing this month.

Let’s share random songs we love, with or without a bit about ourselves. It has been a while since I shared music just because I like it. Maybe the blog has felt a bit heavy with my monologues and stream-of-consciousness posts. The poetry is still going strong, though I only share about half of it here now. Most of it goes on Threads, while I keep the pieces I consider outstanding here with you.

Life is still good over here, even with the geopolitical situation being terrifying. I still love my job, which surprises me. I am not planning on leaving or complaining about it. Strange, right? I am still wrapping my head around the fact that I had five jobs between 2021 and 2023. To be fair, I am counting the current one since it started in 2023.

But I digress.

Today’s song:

🎵 Tom Grennan – Shadowboxing

It is the second single from the upcoming album Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn’t Want to Be, set for release on August 15.

I heard this song on the radio while driving to work. I always have the radio on in the morning, but I often hear songs without really listening. This one stuck with me. Maybe it was the energy or the message, which I relate to because of my ADD. No, there is no H in my diagnosis. That is typically female.

I am feeling bubbly today. I drank too much coffee in the morning and too much alcohol at night. I spent the day listening to music and writing poetry and reading Franz Kafka’s diaries (between being a private chauffeur and taking care of the house and weekly groceries – the mundane tasks of a Saturday as a mum of three teenagers). It feels self-indulgent to say, but I cannot speak about others much, can I? It’s always me me me.

March has 31 days. One song per day, with a bit of the story behind why it is your song of the day.

Enjoy my song. If you feel inspired, join in.

Music has a way of anchoring us, even when everything else feels uncertain.

What song is on repeat for you today?

If I stay focused and disciplined enough, I will share one song every day this month. Be warned 🙂

I love you all, thank you for being there and seeing me.
