Jenn Wasner is one of my favorite songwriters and musicians. You might know of her from her band Wye Oak, but she also just released a brilliant debut solo album (If You See Me, Say Yes) in 2016 under the name Flock of Dimes. Not only is she a fantastic songwriter and musician, but she is also a truly delightful human being. If you get the chance to see her live, definitely do it; you won't regret it.
This song resonates with me because I sometimes have a hard time living in the present. I'm either lingering too much on things that happened in the past that can't be changed or dreaming about how I want things to be someday. I look forward to the seasons changing, and when they do, I enjoy them for a split second and then start thinking about the next one. To me, this song is an anthem to appreciating what's happening around you, what has happened in your life, and where you've ended up.

About the curator - Becky Welch
Becky has been a music-obsessed, compulsive playlist maker and live music enthusiast for as long as she can remember. Few things delight her more than sharing music and geeking out with people who care as much about it as she does. She plays piano and “plays” the ukulele and guitar. She likes almost every genre but is mostly drawn to fun songs that make her dance with abandon.
