I find it adds a whole different level of making a song work regardless of the genre. One thing that has changed over the years is how much I try to pay attention to lyrics now. I can feel the sun setting as I listen to this, the crew of people I’m with slowly growing as friends invite more friends, the energy building before we head to a hot new dance club. This track manages to combine a bit of jazz with electronic influences to give the perfect song to play as you venture out into Le Marais for an evening of stunning outfits, beautiful people and rosé. There is something about songs in French that just ooze sexiness and cool. There is a hint of Wu-Tang in here which always makes me smile. This one also has a nice high hat playing eighth notes to further emphasize the contrast. The second half takes a weird turn away from the hip hop vibe but the first half makes up for it.Īs many of you know, my favorite structure in hip hop songs is syncopation that comes from steady 4/4 style vocals that hit all four beats with beats that focus on the first and third. Good luck trying to understand why some trends take off but who cares - this song is killer. This has been the biggest jam on TikTok recently, fueling a trend of taping your phone to the ceiling and doing some sort of dance underneath usually with other people. Proud to have a third straight year in the top 0.1% of Kygo listeners on Spotify. With that said, it feels good to be 70% back to normal and able to enjoy music again. No matter what it is, most people (all people, really) are doing whatever they can to not let the pain steal their life force even if it’s a small piece of their life. Maybe they are battling generational demons. Maybe they just got dumped and have to show up on their YouTube show. Maybe they have a broken ankle but still needed to show up to work. You never know what they’re going through. This week was also a good reminder how important it is to be kind to people and not judge someone at face value. You need to rebuild your relationship with what is painful and what is pleasurable. This is very common in trading and one of the biggest hurdles to taking one’s P&L to the next level. I have gone through phases where I actually liked the feeling of being stressed out when I was trading - sitting on underwater positions felt more comfortable than sitting on winners and letting them ride. You see this with people who love the feeling of stress and in people who are terrified of slowing down. Some people get addicted to it without even realizing it. It mostly shows up in small, subtle ways that we get used to over the years. Needless to say, waking up this morning to a dramatic improvement in how I feel is nothing short of seeing the sun after months of winter clouds. This is the first time it’s prevented me from going to sleep which further compounds the agony. All you want is for it to go away, some form of break so you can get ahead of it and get your life back. It attaches itself to all your creative juice and uses it to remind you how miserable things are. When there is pain in the body or mind, it acts as a parasite to your life energy. When it gets over a certain threshold it is all consuming - this week I could think of nothing else, only the searing needles in my back that were given brief respite from 600mg of ibuprofen. I tell you this bc it has reminded me how insidious pain can be on people. It was brutal and has lasted almost five days. I couldn’t lie down for more than 30 seconds and could barely sit in one place for 5 minutes. It seems my body didn’t like that and rewarded me with crippling levels of stinging, aching discomfort in my back and legs. Not just a casual stretch, a full yoga session. After spending a week in cold weather + not stretching I thought it would be a good idea to stretch after one final run in 40 degrees. I spent the better part of this week nursing a bizarre combination of headache, muscle pain and no sleep.
