MandarisAt what point is the price of Netflix too high for some people? I refuse to go to an add tier and I’ve been playing with the idea of shutting it off.

"4 Seasons of Loneliness" by Boyz II Men
Share a song that captures the moment when seasons change.
I feel that this is one of the songs that really showcase what Boyz II Men could do. It's a song with a very simple backing track that allow the Boyz to demonstrate how they can do an interplay of vocal runs.
I feel that the vocal runs highlight the excitement and joy of what it was like to be with someone and then crescendos when they mentioned that "you are not here".
A true classic of 90s R&B.

"Lovely Day" by Bill Withers
Share a song that sounds like your favorite weather.
Some like it hot, some like it cold.

"Be Prepared" by Jeremy Irons, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin & Jim Cummings
What's your go-to song for getting ready in the morning?
Honestly, shouldn't we all be prepared for what is going to happen in the day. I understand that this song has evil intentions, but the songs of the villains have something that can inspire all of us. And that is having a plan can lead you to success.
So, start everyday with a plan and maybe you can be king one day!
I had another song, but I can't think of it.

"Minimum Wage" by They Might Be Giants
Share a song that perfectly soundtracks your commute.
We all have to make a living in this modern world. I think about all those who are living paycheck to paycheck.
I'm grateful for what I have and hopefully good things happen to those who read this.
Take care of yourself out there. Try to give yourself some grace.
