I recently listed to the entirety of Billie Eilish’s “When we all fall asleep where do we go?” I had heard a couple of her songs previously…but had not put any effort into listening to her album.
I was blown away at how good the album is. The music, lyrics, her voice…
It has been a long time since I liked an entire album and can listen to every song on it. I have playlists, a mishmash of songs to suit my every mood. Since the advent of Spotify, I find myself listening to fewer albums. I try not to reminisce about the good old days…but if there is one thing I do miss about the olden days, it was going to a music store and browsing through the music and buying records…Sure most often than not you would buy a CD where there was a couple of songs were good and the rest not so much. There are so many benefits to picking and choosing the specific tracks you like (I love curating playlists), but there is something about browsing through stacks of CDs and vinyl and spending time to find something you get excited by. The pleasure of discovery. I miss that.
Back to Billie Eilish…I have her album playing on repeat here…
