“It's been said that “music is what feelings sound like”. In the midst of this global pandemic, there are some deep emotions that a lot of us are experiencing. To choose happiness, we first need to acknowledge the tension, and music is a great way to help us process those big feelings. 

By focusing on the lyrical elements of some of my favorite songs, I’ve compiled a playlist that aims for that elusive sweet spot between hope and happiness. Between struggle and strength. Between chaos and calm”
