I’ve managed to write something for the past three days in a row, and it’s felt pretty great. Today, I set out to do the same, but with a bit more calm in my heart. There’s no real reason for this beyond the general ebb and flow of life, I guess.

So.

I have a playlist that I’ve been putting together for the end of the world. It’s filled with all kinds of different things, though the majority  of it is what Danica and I have taken to describe as “songs to drown to”. That’s a… bleak description, I know, but it’s apt. I’ve always been a bit of a dour soul when it comes to music. Most of the songs I key tend to rock gently as though moved by the sea. They’re the songs that speak to my heart.

And so… my songs for the end of the world. They’re not apocalyptic by any means. They’re just the ones that I’d love to listen to if someone pressed the button. Words and melody that speak to my soul, that would whisper to me as the clock ticks away.

It’s weird, I know. But as 2017 marches on, I feel like the work I’m putting into this list is terribly vital. Something I can build and feed upon in any darker moments while preparing what could be the darkest. Does any of this make any sense? Probably not. But I like the list, and I think over the next few days and weeks, I’ll share bits and pieces on this blog. Maybe it’ll provide some insight as to my thoughts and methods.

A programming note: there’s a good chance I’ll skip on updating tomorrow. Four days seems like a good start to this, and the weekend is looking to be filled with friends and family. We’ll talk again on Monday. Thank you for listening, and I hope you are all well.
