Crucial Track for May 24, 2025

"Tightrope (feat. Big Boi)" by Janelle Monáe

Listen on Apple Music

What’s a hidden gem you wish more people knew about?

Tightrope by Janelle Monáe is a wonderful track on a great album.

I really enjoy this track because it has a lot of energy and range. Janelle has a great voice and you just get this feeling that you kind of have to dance no matter how low things can get. I feel that this is a great companion to "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Queen.

I’m trying to use instagram to connect with the youths.

I hate it.

"Un-Break My Heart" by Toni Braxton

Listen on Apple Music

What song reminds you of your first heartbreak?

I actually don't have one specific to my first heartbreak but there is not that brings up that feeling and it's Un-Break My Heart by Toni Braxton. I think she's very talented and I don't hear a lot of talent with her voice in popular music.

But then again, I don't listen to a lot of popular music that isn't given to my by my family.

It’s ok to rethink your identity if it leads you to being a better person. I’m saying that to myself and whoever else needs to see/hear it.

Went outside to “touch grass”.

Yellow flowers with green leaves are growing in a patch of soil next to a wooden border.

I had a draft that was a rant. Finished it. Set it down. Read it. Now deleting.

Playing with the idea of getting into cursive writing again.

A dotted notebook page displays the handwritten message, ‘You are the Reason for the Season!!’ in black ink.

Nights like this, I wish I had a better camera.

I don’t know if you saw that they changed the folder structure of templates for Hugo, @manton.

Another thing to add to the list, I guess but I hope that people here are generally happy with what we’ve already got.
