I’m listening to “Universal Traveler” by Air.

The chord progression is one of my all-time favorites, the production uncluttered and confident. It’s ethereal and sweeping and the perfect soundtrack to an afternoon spend among many-hued blossoms, beneath a cloudless, cerulean sky - a world very much still turning, as inevitable as my life looking so very, very different in the coming months.

I’m more grateful than ever for music, for the structure and identity it provides, and the path it illuminates through this uncertainty.
