Crosby, Stills & Nash
There's a moment in this song — somewhere around the second verse, when the harmonies stack up and the ocean opens underneath you — where you stop caring about anything that happen
Somewhere between the algorithm and the 15-second attention span, we stopped listening to music. We started consuming content.
You can engineer a craving without ever satisfying it. You can write a song that gets stuck in someone's head without ever touching their heart.
Remember when songs were built to last?
When a songwriter rewrote the bridge sixteen times because almost wasn't good enough. When a song could wreck you—not because it was loud, but because it was true.

INXS
There's a version of INXS that the world decided on, and then there's the version that shows up on a song like this.
Joe Bonamassa
There's a version of "Mountain Time" that exists on a studio record, and it's fine.
The songs that stayed.
