Enter the half-joke, half-serious concept of “silver springing” someone. It’s the idea that you and all the love you bring with you are unforgettable — like a ghost that will eternally haunt them.
Recently, I had a friend tell me she was interested in listening to Phoebe Bridgers. If you haven’t been living under a rock, chances are that you’ve at least heard of her before. However, if you’ve never gotten around to listening, that’s okay, because I’m here to help.
I curated a playlist of songs that make me feel warm, anticipating that I’d need some soothing music to help me get through the next few months of cold temperatures.
“This is like some kind of miracle. A phenomenon,” shouted Deputy Gordon Cole, a “Twin Peaks” character played by the beloved David Lynch. And that’s what “Twin Peaks” was — some sort of phenomenon. It’s a show that proved TV could be a medium for artistic storytelling.

In my senior year of high school, I listened to Faye Webster every single day. Whether I was driving home from school or doing homework, her smooth, dreamy voice was always playing in the background.

Music has been something that I have become so emotionally and physically invested in. I feel the pain that the artists are singing about — the love that they crave, the losses they grieve. However, the most special kind of music to me is the kind where I feel all of these things — where I go through and experience all of these emotions and events.
Three months ago, my friend and I found Sik-K’s Boston concert a big surprise. A Korean hip-hop artist with enough fan base and funds to perform in other northeast cities besides New York City excited me.
