Playlist: Nostalgic for Yesterday and Tomorrow

As we grow older, no matter what stage of our lives we may be in, time becomes a precious thing. Whether the word 'time' makes you think of your tight schedule, sparks good memories, or drives you to ponder on your future, time makes itself known to us in many ways.

I know that as I get closer to hitting the big 2-0, I feel compelled to hold on as tight as I can to my teen years. I also know not much will change just because I'll soon identify myself by a different number, but I can't help but feel caught between the nostalgic pull of my past and the call of an unfamiliar voice from my future. Being caught in this tug-of-war of time can be hard to put into words. It's a myriad of magical memories, could haves, should haves, what if's, and "what will be's".

The songs I've shared today know how to articulate the bitter and sweet emotions that overwhelm us when we think about time. I hope they help you relish in the moment and pause time only if for a second.

Find some of my fav lines from each song while you listen:

1. We'll laugh until our ribs get tired

2. That we are fucking up our lives

but we are having a good time

3. Tryin' to find the part of me my friends all miss

4. But time betrays me & I get older one more year

5. When I can hardly walk & my hair falling out, we'll still stay up till morning

6. If we're both not married by 25, I hope that there's some childish spark still alive

7. I play the number's game to find a way to say that life has just begun

8. I wanna shine on in the hearts of men, I want a meaning...
