Okay, do I have everything I need?
I guess I can always drop by the house later if I forget something.
The next month is going to be busy.
I have the feeling there’s something I’m supposed to do today, but I don’t know what it is.
Was I supposed to call someone? Was it an appointment?
No, that’s next week.
This place is a mess. Why didn’t anyone put this away? I can’t be the only one who sees this mess.
We’re out of milk again. Shoot, I knew I should have picked some up.
They’ve got their decorations up already. Do we look like we don’t care?
Wait, do we exchange gifts with them? I don’t think so. But if they get us something and we have nothing to give back, then we look terrible.
Don’t worry don’t worry. Take a breath.
Yes, there’s a lot coming up this month. But you don’t have to do it all today. Today you just have to do today.
Stop for a moment and listen to the calming energy of Ford.
What makes this a beautiful song:
1. The repeating four-note cycle, like the calming rhythm of a repetitive but comforting routine.
2. The percussion, hustling you along to the next task without being pushy.
3. The way that the chords hit on the second beat of the bar rather than the first. It proves that even if you don’t get things done on time, it can still work.
