“This song starts with an ‘ah,’ because this record is about being relieved.”
Sometimes music discovery comes from the oddest of places. I first heard this track as part of a playlist on a flight I was taking home from Portland. It was on while we were at the gate, then again while we pushed back from the gate /taxied, and one more time as we took off (before my cell service cut out).
I work for an airline, so, it’s probably not the best idea to admit that my plane wasn’t in airplane mode during takeoff, but here we are. This song is just that good.
