SONG PICK: Gatlin - I Think About You All The Time

Break-up songs are often written from a safe emotional distance. Not this one.

Dire times maybe ask for philosophy and culture, and so a variation of a quote of the famous German writer Goethe comes to mind: “two hearts have always beat within my breast”, one for SXSW and one for The New Colossus Festival, well since 2019 anyway! Now, with the former
