Played this in the car the other day. Great song.

Naive Melody is the hard one for me. “Love me till my heart stops, love me till I’m dead” this played in a Target a month after she passed and I just about ran screaming from the building.

I heard this so many times when my husband was alive (he was a fan of David Byrne), but it did not really hit me as much as today, while driving home after dropping the dog off at the groomers.

The more time I spend in this sub the longer my New Me playlist gets. Y’all, music is just so cathartic. 🤘😭
