Parallel Lines
“The music speaks for itself, and whatever messages I have to convey are usually in the music. It has always been that way. ”

Parallel Lines by Blondie is a representation of the pure joy some songs can bring. While a lot of the music I’ve reflected on has helped me find myself or work through doubts, this album stands out because it brought me simple joy. It didn’t lead to any breakthroughs, but it gave me the energy I needed to push through early mornings and long days. Walking to my dreaded 8 a.m. classes felt a little easier with Blondie playing in my ears, putting some pep in my step, and letting me start the day with a light, carefree attitude.
