"The One With The Wurlitzer" by American Football is a song that I listened to a lot over the course of my first semester of college. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious I would listen to this song and I would be able to take a step back and calm myself. I would mindfully listen to the song and not let negative thoughts creep in my mind while listening. I found that the process of creating a cover of the song also brought me relaxation. From creating the score to recording and editing the audio, working on this project brought a sense of calm to the last couple of weeks of the semester. I hope that everyone takes the time to mindfully listen to my offering and let your mind drift from whatever is currently bringing you stress.
Take a simple action, like going for a walk or eating lunch, and go about it mindfully. Use it as an opportunity to ease stress or anxiety that has built up throughout the day. Only think about the action and take a break from thinking about your current stressors.
I am a freshman at the University of Michigan and I'm pursuing a dual degree in Trumpet Performance and Computer Science. Music is a huge part of my life and a method of relaxation for me. I hope everyone enjoys my offering and uses it as an opportunity to relax.
