Welcome to When I Hear This Song!
This is a space for writers to ramble, wax poetic, explore, pick apart, delve into one song that is meaningful to them.
Every person’s taste in music is one of the most personal and intimate aspects about us. The songs we love, hate, even just don’t understand the hype about, are all delicate squiggles that compose our audio thumbprints. I hope this is a space to discover new music, revisit music you already know in another light, and appreciate someone’s story and perspective.
The writers here are selected by me and their essays are unedited. This exercise is not about music writing, criticism, or clickbait; it is about an intimate connection to a piece of art, even if you never saw it as art before. My wish is that the contributors here have similar experiences, and that this tiny corner of the internet can be a lo-fi hangout for us. Thanks for stopping by!
