On this Clair de Lune video, there is a guy who goes by the name mrtortla3895 who has posted a short paragraph about his day, every day, for the last 971 days in the comments.

Once every few weeks, I listen to the song whilst reading his posts. I can't explain the feeling it gives me, but there's such beauty and catharsis in the mundanity of day to day life alongside the music.

Today's post;

@T4920 it happens that Summer time causes me sadness for some reason. Yesterday i was thinking a similar concept. A little different though. Buy an 120page notebook and write something every single day listening to a song. I am seeing it as process for summer to end.

@George-Homme
Day 1: I am sad because I can't wear my 25oz jeans today, it is too hot...
Day 2: I am sad because I worn my 25oz jeans and now they are sweaty and smelly...
Day 3: I am sad because I had to wash my 25oz jeans
Day 4: I am sad because I shouldn't have washed my 25oz jeans

Summer of sadness, IH style

@Steve @AdamJ Jesus, I thought I was quick getting my submissions in...

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago my first 3 picks were already taken! Everyone is on it for this round

[Steve]

@Tago-Mago I normally get a notification telling me a round had ended, a round is starting, on both my watch and phone in the middle of the night - and then notice it in the morning and panic to get a song! As @SKT says - on it this round!

[Tago Mago]

@SKT curious to hear your original picks once everyone has submitted

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago I’ll post em.

[endo]

bloody hell, was not the only one thinking of a song that has been played on the River Thames

[ARNC]

I wasn’t expecting this to come round so fast either - someone must be getting their first choices but it’s not me! In a spirit of protest, maybe we shouldn’t vote for people who nicked our songs

[SKT]

@ARNC I mean it’s only fair

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC @SKT you snooze you lose

[chrisjohnnick]

jeez y'all. I won't even have time to dig into this until tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Mizmazzle]

Quick draw McGraws!!! Can’t believe I slipped one in being so late to the party!

[Steve]

Lots of good songs to choose from on this round - I've almost changed my selection twice already!

[GraemeE]

Close runners up for my pics for this round:
Sun Ra - Nuclear War
Ellington - Black and Tan Fantasy
Flying Burrito Bros - My Uncle
Sam Cooke - Change is Gonna Come

[Mizmazzle]

Really dig that James McMurtry song. Like the overall tone of “Fuck You” in this playlist

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago these are the ones that were already taken…

Marvin Gaye-What’s Going On
Public Enemy-Fight the Power
Rage Against the Machine-Gorilla Radio (exact song wasn’t taken but band already in play)

Some good stuff again
