From Here on Now: I can’t believe this is on my discover weekly and not in my saved library, because Cassius Gray is a friend of mine, and I honestly thought I had saved all of his music.

I can totally see myself walking to dinner when the weather is warm while listening to this.Ģ. Madrid: I like the sound of this song, but the lyrics are uncomfortable to listen to… wait no I restarted it, I actually really like it. So without further ado- my May 3-May 10th Discover Weekly:ġ. With the overarching life mission to achieve all-round zen and my new intention of being more mindful in the way I go through my days, this week I assigned a specific time slot every day to gauge what my thoughts are on the songs I listen to, which eventually make up who I am as a person. All of this meant that my Spotify suggestions suddenly morphed into ones tailored to him, rather than myself, and I finally decided that it’s time for me to go on a quest to reclaim my own identity.Įver since then, listening to my Discover Weekly has become a sort of sacrilegious Monday morning activity as I take back ownership of my music taste while sipping on iced matcha. The whole thing turned into another failed talking stage, but I was left with a brand new playlist to indulge in every now and then… or rather, daily and obsessively, on repeat (re: this TikTok). The bullseye, however, was that he had really great taste in music, and that was basically my daily and weekly dose of discovering new songs sorted with very little effort on my end. Well a month or so ago, I hit what one may call the Hinge jackpot, when I matched somebody I actually enjoyed talking to.

If you’re anything like me, you oscillate between listening to one artists’s entire discography every day for weeks, re-listening to my 2020 lockdown playlist until I feel numb with misplaced nostalgia, or saving 20 new songs every day (be it through Discover Weekly, song radios, random Spotify daily mixes, or friends’ suggestions). Most of the time my justification behind do I like something or not is I just do / don’t. Disclaimer: I have absolutely no substantial music knowledge these are just the opinions of somebody who can’t sit in silence with her own thoughts and constantly needs to have something playing in the background.
