Hello there Reader,
I just lately realized that it’s uniquely human to “hear” music. As in, different animals can’t recognise beat and rhythm and all that.
This actually blew my thoughts! And since Spotify 2023 Wrapped launched just lately it received me serious about what my Spotify 2023 Wrapped reveals about me.
- I’m a toddler of the 80s and 90s;
- I’m usually in a dancing temper (certainly one of my playlists is ‘Joyce’s Upbeat Pop Songs’); and
- I like music that I can run to – excessive power and enjoyable (or some critical digital dance music for pounding the pavement)
So right here’s a easy thought:
Subsequent time you’re doing one thing throughout this busy season eg ferrying children round to bounce concert events/speech nights/sports activities shows, scouting the finest streets for Christmas lights in Melbourne or adorning your actual Christmas tree – flip up the quantity and have some enjoyable when you take heed to your individual 2023 Wrapped.
