“Waters of March” by Art Garfunkel, originally sung in Portuguese as “Águas de Março” by Antônio Carlos Jobim, is about spring in Brazil as an allegory for life: how it continues on despite our best efforts to control it. It reminds us how with the ugly, comes the beautiful.

For an escape, play “Like 1999” and imagine. I can’t wait to blast this song in my car this summer.

“Crazier Things” is a simple and stunning ode to a romantic partner who isn’t in your life anymore.
