Ain’t no mountain high, ain’t no valley low. Ain’t no river wide enough, baby. We should become more adventurous.
They will see us waving from such great heights.
“Come down now,” they’ll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away.
“Come down now.”
But we’ll stay.
Feelin’ the breeze, take it with ease, shake off the big city...

One of the best things about the rad record player I got for Christmas?
The hunt.
Searching for record stores. Flipping through bins and crates. Sorting through albums I once owned. Jump starting memories. Finding treasures that I can’t wait to listen to when I get home. Awesome.
