Twenty Twenty Five Tracks that Tracked
Volunteering to sing at the SF Veterans Hospital became a cherished part of my life in 2025.
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE TRACKS THAT TRACKED (Spotify Playlist LINK)
SUPER SERIOUS/silLy RuLES:
- Only tracks released in 2025
- which moved me, gave me chills, blew my mind or impacted my life
- Only 1 track per project/band (with wiggle-room: a KR3TURE track is different than & a KR3TURE Remix or KR3TURE featured on a Bloomurian track)
- Keep the playlist to around 3 hours
- Write about each track to give my effusive love for music and artists somewhere to live
- Design a DJ ‘narrative flow’ experience for the listener
Note*** To keep this annual blog a piece of ritual art for myself, I chose not to use ChatGPT to write or correct for me, so please excuse the lateness and any crappie spellinng and gramar.,
John Pattern – Inner Child Affirmations
2025 has been an intensely intense year. To start this year’s playlist of songs that touched and changed me, I wanted to begin with something sweet and spiritual, because, well… the emotional load from 2025 has overflowed into my life and work. It’s helpful to have access to little anxiety soothing helpers like this song and Yoga Nidra Nap meditations (which have become an invaluable daily activity of mine). Not only do these tools assist in balancing my body & mind, but they help me to remember wha I truly AM. I hope this child’s voice tickles your heart as she does mine.
John Pattern has become one of my favorite producers. As a psychotherapist, his wisdom and gentleness flows into his music in a way that I feel to be a benefit to the world.
Bringing this musical journey full circle, I also end the playlist with another child’s voice, this time delivering a challenging inspiration for 2026. Stay tuned, if you dare.
Jacob Collier “Heaven (Butterflies)”
Jacob Collier is now pretty much colloquially known as one of today’s most prominent musical geniuses. Many people find his music to be impressive but also a little bit wild and overbearing in the jazz department, AKA maybe a little bit less listenable than it could be… But, once in awhile, he puts his clearly ADHD focus entirely into a vein of evocative beauty that is truly remarkable. The first of his sublime pieces to truly catch me was my favorite track of 2023 “Little Blue”. “Heaven (Butterflies)” leaves similar footprints in our hearts, and we are never the same.
Jacob actually worked with Taylor Guitars to design a new, incredibly logical 5 string guitar (with 1 string per finger). He designed this tuning to be a musical mirror on the top and bottom strings and incredibly easy to play. The unique riffs he busts out on “Heaven” are clearly made possible by this brand new guitar innovation!
This November, I saw Jacob play with an orchestra conducted by his Mother: Suzie Collier, an orchestra, which unbeknownst to me, featured my friend Mars Gefo playing his sexy French horn!
Jacob spent 15 minutes teaching portions of a song to each section of the orchestra and then brought it all together into a triumphant live mashup of Coldplay and the Police.
I believe Jacob hit a sour note on guitar when he played this song in SF. But he’s just so damn musically talented that he just chromatically walked the guitar up a few steps to the correct note and just happily made it a “live version”. This is mastery in both music and life that I want to incorporate into mine.
Bon Iver – “Everything is Peaceful Love”
Justin Vernon released this masterpiece album “SABLE, fABLE” in two distinct parts (as sequential EPs) and then packed them into one two sided LP. It was a helluv a hard choice to pick a “best” song (I had three on my list). But “Everything is Peaceful Love” is so abnormally positive and joyful!! I request more music like this from Mr. Vernon. My former partner Christine and I enjoyed this album a lot together. She emailed me a guess of which song I would choose from this album and she was right.
Glass Animals – “Show Pony” Parra for Cuva Remix
This band is popular and also under-appreciated. It’s my theory that their sultry song “Gooey” from their debut album directed the path of this band and their subsequent albums have been well, gooier… and this track is a great example of that vibe. Singer Dave Bayley employs a modern rhythmic rap style pulled from artists like Migos & Lizzo. It’s rare to hear this type of triplet rhythm in indie rock and it really caught me.
It was also really challenging to choose which version of this track to employ in this playlist, as the original has a really catchy chorus, but the Parra for Cuva Remix was just so tropically pleasant and being that I played it for Ecstatic Dances, it was chosen here.
Mikey Pauker – “Great Spirit”
My buddy Mikey Pauker is back on the list with a tropical house remix of another deep and emotional track. Mikey and I joyously danced together to this remix on January 1st of 2025 and during that blissful moment, I informed him “Great Spirit” was the first track to make my 2025 playlist.
SAGES, Olafur Arnalds – “In the Sound of Breathing”
Keeping the positive housey pulse going, this ethereal track evokes a spacious feeling in my mind and gives me chills.
Disco Lines, Tinashe – “No Broke Boys”
Unusually early on the playlist, this pop anthem was my absolute 100% favorite track to drop late night at weddings in 2025. Try to not enjoy this beat, I dare you.
UTAH – “Bring the Bassline”
UTAH was originally a Post Rock band, but they have evolved into something else altogether. This track is an infectious fusion of jazz, funk, knee-slapping hambone and 1960’s James Bond music.
Disclosure, Andersen Paak – “NO CAP”
A popular phrase from the Gen-Z lexicon “No Cap”, means something is absolutely true, no question ’bout it. Andersen Paak teams up with producer powerhouse Disclosure for a pop-rap-house track that is a rhythmic blast, no cap.
Too Many Zoos “Manzana Roja”
A NY subway based Brass band, Too Many Zoos has been a favorite of mine for many years since they mix live brass with trap beats in Brooklyn. “Manzanita Roja” is a new latin, merengue angle for them and Dios mio, it works for me! Latin Funk is sorely lacking in my life and I’m excited to have this gem in my repertoire.
Chali 2na, Funk Hunters – “The Rock”
Hands down, my favorite rap voice of all time, Chali 2na (originally from Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli) regularly partners up with funky bass producers The Funk Hunters. I think this is the catchiest hip hop track since 2002. And sadly, few will ever hear it. Unless you share my playlist with someone? Such power in your hands!
SUBLIME – “Ensenada”
I wrote verbosely last year about the abosolutely cosmic unfolding that is Sublime deceased singer Bradley Nowell‘s son Jakob Nowell joining Sublime 27 years after his father joined the tragic “27 Club” (passing away). Jakob didn’t spend his entire life just singing his father’s music. He’s had his own bands, but seemingly all-the-while he’s been honing his skills and finding the family heritage in the idiosyncrasies of his father’s entirely unique vocal tone/stylings and flourishes. On Sublime’s first real single with Jakob solely at the helm, I would bet that there’s not a soul on Earth that would have been shown this song in 1996 and have bet $100 on it being Bradley singing. Truly remarkable.
I’ve never really liked when bands put replacement singers in to “match” the sound of their original vocalist. Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains etc. But due to the family heritage and the absolute perfection employed here, I’m overjoyed and it actually regularly brings tears to my eyes to hear Jakob sing.
Mike Love – “Hope”
Keeping the modern reggae vibes going, Mike Love brings us yet another epic & emotional anthem. This man is tragically underknown in our pop culture. I wish his positive messages were on the radio. I’ve watched his talent blossom over the past 10 years and his writing has become altogether something his own. I would only liken his songs to the brilliant debut album from Fat Freddy’s Drop, but the difference is that Mike didn’t peak at the beginning. He’s in full flow and I “Hope” he doesn’t stop.
Michael Franti “Break up with Everything”
I had a Michael Franti song on this playlist, but it turns out that Michael has been accused of extreme sexual impropriety and so instead of putting this song on the playlist, I’m taking this opportunity to call out that it fucking sucks to use fame and power to manipulate and mistreat women. The lyrics of this song are quite fitting actually, “break up with everything you don’t need, even if it’s me.” So as he said, I’ll be breaking up with Michael Franti.
Richard Houghten, Aukai – “Slow Sun”
Richard Houghten is a prolific instrumental guitarist and his collab with Aukai this year produced one of the best feeling “western” tracks I’ve heard in a while. The gentle, yet snappy rhythms are just delicious. This begins the “old west” vibes that will surface throughout the playlist.
Jakub Zytecki, Regressor – “HONEY BOMB”
Jakub Zytecki is one of my favorite prog guitarists and his collab with Regressor has produced a catchy vocal infused instrumental jam that just feels great every single time I heart it. That was a typo that I really liked.
Marcin – “How Music Works”
This song is a musical FLEX. Marcin is becoming known as one of the most talented guitarists on Earth. This is basically a live track showing how he can play multiple instruments on his guitar at once and explain what he’s doing and musical structure at the same time.
Colin Martin – “Monster in My Room”
At first glance this song could appear like a shot at that guy in the White House, but Colin Martin goes deeper and asks the question of what role does he/we play in the cultural calamity unfolding around and inside of us.
L’elan Vital – “Anemone Anonymity”
This is the second single from my band’s 17+ year awaited “Second and Final Album”. Over the 17 years since we recorded this lush and lovely track, I’ve written at least 5 different versions of the vocals in the verses. I love the choruses but the verses were always just lackluster. So I eventually determined that I wasn’t the correct artist to find the melody for the verses. I employed my friend Nils Bultmann to play viola on the verses and he did a splendid job.
The vocals for this track are “written” in Sigur Rós inspired “Hopelandic” language, meaning that I merely vocalized what felt inspiring and the lyrical meaning is up to you to pen.
Ethel Cain – “Nettles”
“I’ve never seen brown eyes look so blue” embodies this track perfectly. Ethel Cain is an absolute icon for emotional teenagers these days. My partner Emma and I saw her at the Greek in Berkeley this summer and she sang silhouetted in front of a cross and her lyrics definitely feel crucified at times.
I’m With Her – “Sisters of the Nightwatch” Live
Sarah Watkins from Nickel Creek (the band that secretly opened me to bluegrass while I was making pottery in college) paired up with famous singer-songwriters Aoife O’Donovan & Sarah Jarosz to form an epic super group.
I found this live version first and assumed that I would put the studio version on the playlist. But when I compared them side by side a few times, I feel the live energy and harmonies are superior and damn, I love that.
What an epic creation! Both Aoife O’Donovan & Sarah Jarosz shred their acoustic guitars while Sarah Watkins gradually builds with an uncharacteristically raspy vocal until her triumphant cresendo climaxes into their rich and wholesome harmonies… and all we can do is gasp, breathe and cheer!
Lola Kirk, Peter Dream (From SINNERS)
SPOILER ALERT – If you haven’t seen the movie “SINNERS” and intend to, don’t read this one.
I truly wish the movie version of this song was released, but alas, lassie, they left the score in the film. They did record an awesome tribute version though, which I have included on this playlist. I’ve become obsessed with this song and I’m excited to start singing it for the Vets (as they love classics) in San Francisco.
Hearing perfect Irish Folk Harmonies sung by Vampires, was a spine-chilling, EEERIEEEE experience in the theaters this year! Like Sirens singing to sailors in Homer’s “The Odyssey”, I was immediately enraptured, captured, captivated and chilled by these musical Vampires. AND!! I didn’t yet even comprehend the lyrical coherence with the movie’s plot. An old Irish Folk tune “And we all go together… Will ye go, lassie go?” was sung by mentally & soulfully intertwined Vampires…
It’s become quite commonplace to root for Vampires, but the way they all spoke about being in a collective, blissful community of race and gender free acceptance… it sounded pretty appealing. And when you add in a lifetime of dancing and melodic singing… I might just trade in my wooden stake for a bloody banjo.
Hailaker, Ilio – “Out of my head”
Hailaker, AKA lowswimmer, AKA Ed Tullett is a melancholy machine. I can state concretely that his music produces a very distinctive “vibe”. His fantastic falsetto imbued with heart-heaving melancholic-melodies hits my nostalgic-high-school sad-boy-button on nearly every release. He seems to effortlessly build lush harmonies and coats them with evocative lyrics like “Slept like a labrador.” Each year I struggle to choose which of his songs to include on this playlist. This year was no exception.
Ed Prosek – “Everything Moves”
The second Ed in a row follows a similar soft sentimentality, but with an uplifting message that feels needed in a time where much of society seem to be eroding at each edge. We can remember that “everything moves”, or as the old scientific statement goes “the only constant is change.”
Eydís Evensen feat. Ásgeir – “Dimmuborgir”
It wouldn’t be a Brandon Bosch playlist without something Nordic… Eydís Evensen cants an incredible, gentle piece that feels classical and could maybe be described as an Aria.
Message to Bears – “Half Light”
Continuing the piano, strings and horns Ásgeir, this instrumental track tugs on my heart strings and produces just the right space & tone to transition to our next genre, what I’m calling Western Twang.
KR3TURE, King Kairos – “Hit the Road Jack”
I’m honored to know both of the artists on this incredible remade classic. Krikor, aka KR3TURE, has become a colleague and friend over the past decade and I can honestly say with zero bias or favoritism, that he’s my favorite bass music producer. I buy virtually all of his releases and I play his pristine, massive tracks constantly in my DJ sets. KR3TURE understands that music needs to breathe. He gives his tracks space and air, so the drops hit harder, the dynamics are more… dynamic! and his sax and guitar (which he plays live over his sets) enjoy ample space for epic riffing.
I almost had a KR3TURE ‘problem’ on this playlist. This remake has the most impactful drops of the year. But the next track “Home” by Moontricks (Morillo Remix) also featured an incredible remix by KR3TURE, which would have made the list, if “Hit the Road Jack” wasn’t such perfection. His twangy slide guitar riff makes the drop on “Home” absolutely slap nuts. I highly recommend checking that remix out. PLUS! The track following “Home” ALSO features KR3TURE & Morillo ‘ReVibing’ “Electric Dust” by my other buddy Bloom… I love this Western Bass theme genre and I played a whole set of this music in Santa Cruz at The Sauce in December. You can listen to the set here.
Moontricks (Morillo Remix) – “Home”
Morillo keeps the folk bass vibes rolling here with a funky remix of Moontrick’s joyful “Home”. This version adds some groovy piano and swanky sax over the harmonica and harmonies already making this twangy track irresistible.
Bloomurian – “Electric Dust” (ReVibe feat Morillo & KR3TURE)
I’ve known Bloom AKA Bloomurian since the early days of Brilliant Elixirs at Festivals around 2012. He’s a sweet, joyful soul that I would see smiling at pretty much every festival. A few years back I remember seeing that he was teaching a music production class and thought “dang, Bloom must have been working hard at this!” Since then, I’ve been elated to see that his music has been blowing up. In 2024 at the Texas Eclipse festival in Texas, one of the headliners couldn’t make their set at the Android Jones dome and Bloom stepped in with fresh Bloomurian music. The crowd went ballistic and his career took off.
Jesse Welles – “Join I.C.E.”
Jesse Welles is the new Bob Dylan, period.
Blowing up on YouTube shorts & TikTok by taking constant musical shots at Trump, Capitalism, Patriarchy, White Nationalism and ICE, Welles has clearly grown up absorbing the folky beat poetry of Dylan and Woodie Guthrie. A political progeny of these legends, Jesse brings his beyond brilliant lyrics to the simple melodic structure of country & blues. This easeful and classic pairing enables Welles to continually release quick and poignant videos of him standing in fields, sometimes soaked in rain, singing what we all know to be true: Our world is crashing around us, we need to be honest, and we need to work together to save it.
Part of me wishes I had started the playlist with this sickeningly hilarious song but ironically when I couldn’t decide between “Join I.C.E” and his other opus “No Kings” I accidentally left both of them off the final “widdle down” playlist. When I realized this mistake, the only place the song could fit without totally effing the flow of the other parts was sandwiched here in between Western Bass and somber folk.
My girlfriend Emma and I saw Jesse play one of his two nights at The Fillmore in SF this November. The legend herself, Joan Baez came on stage to sing “No Kings” with him and to encore Bob Dylan‘s “Don’t think Twice it’s alright”, as a tip-of-the-hat to his predecessor’s influence on his music.
Danny Musengo, The Human Experience & Dirtwire – “Be Open”
Emma and I were lounging in my van outside of a natural hotspring in the eastern Sierras this fall when “Be Open” came on my Release Radar. We immediately loved it and it became something of a soundtrack for the voyage.
Danny Musengo plays in the band Gone Gone Beyond with David Block (The Human Experience), and I’m not sure how Dirtwire got involved in this one, but I love it. The whistles and great message of this song are infectious in the best kind of way!
Noah Cyrus – “Don’t put it all on me”
Winding down the extensive western & folk section, Noah Cyrus and band delivers us a hearty breakup track that tracks what my wounded little ego wants to say when I’m in a fight with a partner. Although I’m working on taking more responsibility for my actions and inactions in my relationships, it sure feels soothing to my ego to sing this sad song. Maybe a guilty pleasure?
No Signal – “Cloud 1 (Reimagined)“
Using Cyrus’ sadness as a bridge, we move into an “emo” series, if you will. No Signal, is a remarkably young band from Denver, where I used to play music with my aforementioned band L’elan Vital. Our guitarist Andy introduced me to No Signal a few years back and I’ve been marveling at how good their production and writing has been since they were literally teenagers.
This song is a softer re-imaginging of a track from their impressively good album from 2023 album “Distorted Reality”.
Sol Rising – “Wanderer’s Pulse”
Brandon “Sol Rising” seems to make my playlist every year. Like so many of his tracks, “Wanderer’s Pulse” is just a really enjoyable and slightly emo vibe, giving us a last break before our final big push.
Sleep Token – “Emergence”
If there was a musical obsession for me in 2025, it was Sleep Token. For a few years, I have been tacitly listening to them while working out with my buddy Eric Johnsohn (who has great heavy tastes). But I was having a late night dinner in a closing highway restaurant when “Emergence” came on the overhead speakers while the crew was cleaning up. Vessel’s unique and masterful voice shines immaculately in the intro. Then an octave pitch shifted vocal repeats “Go ahead and wrap your arms around me”, which feels like a modern pop hook from Post Malone. We then explode into oddly timed melodic rap verses that are unlike anything I’ve ever heard. I was immediately enthralled and ended up rocking out with one of the servers. He told me that Sleep Token was coming to Oakland and I decided that I was going to see what the hubbub, fuss, ruckus and brouhaha is all about.
Sleep Token is an anonymous project, mostly written by genius musician “Vessel”, who was apparently visited in his sleep by an entity named “Sleep.” It has been interpreted that Sleep offered him an enticing “deal with the devil”-esque scenario: If Vessel was to worship Sleep with his music (without any ego or fame seeking) Sleep would help make the band famous and effectively spread the healthy & creative power of “Sleep” (maybe akin like the intention of the characters in “The Neverending Story”).
Adhering to the challenge, Vessel and bandmates (Vessel 2, 3 and 4) have forever worn incredible masks, hiding their identities. Sleep stayed true to It’s promise and Sleep Token became one of the biggest bands in the world in an extremely short period of time… Interesting, right?
I called my friend Jahan and told him that I wanted to get a ticket to see Sleep Token and though it was horrendously sold out, I was willing to pay up to $500 to see them on the floor with him. Turns out his other friend was unable to make the show due to work and the ticket cost almost exactly $500.
When we got to the show, I was inducted into the Sleep Token community. I immediately saw that the crowd’s mentality was around artistic expression, cos-play and gifting. Because of my adherence to the Sleep Token color scheme (Black and Pink/Purple) a woman walked up and said “I love what you’ve done here” and handed me a styley bracelet that said “PROVIDER”, which is the title of one Sleep Token‘s newest songs.
The show was beyond incredible. Their stage was a misty mountain with a waterfall running behind Vessel. Celtic ruins housed the rest of the band.
I decided to have Vessel’s mask and epic should pauldron 3D printed for my halloween costume. They didn’t come in time, so I’ll be wearing them next year.
The song’s chorus “come on, come on, you know that it’s time to emerge” is sung so beautifully and really touches my heart. In classic Sleep Token style they find a seamless way to move from jazzy, proggy pop rock to extremely heavy guitars before rounding it back out with emotional singing and even a sexy sax outro.
It wasn’t difficult to choose this song for the playlist, but there are so many more on the album that “Even in Arcadia” wins my favorite album of 2025 award.
The Dear Hunter – “Classic Wrock”
Casey from The Dear Hunter designs guitars called “Cave & Canary”. When I decided to buy one at their 2023 show, their merch guy told me that I could get them to sign it after the show. Tragically, the last guitar had been sold the night before. I ordered it from home with the promise that I could bring it back the next time they came through and sure enough in late 2024 they came back and I took my guitar to The Fillmore and the security wouldn’t let me in. I told them the story and they called the band’s manager, who brought me inside and proceeded to search for each member of the band throughout the night until all six members had signed the top ring of the guitar (per my request). In honor of their six members and their apparently forever unfinished six Act series of albums, I named the guitar “Act VI”
“Classic Wrock” is nothing extraordinary for The Dear Hunter, but it’s my fav track from them in a while and they’re just better than most everyone out there.
The Hu, feat ROME – “Triangle”
With AI bands piling up streams and endless styles of music being mashed up incessantly these days, what is actually “progressive” or “fusion” in 2025? I’d say mixing Mongolian throat singing, which typically doesn’t involve much of what westerners consider ‘melody’ with a western diatonic melodic pop rock song, could be considered pretty damn innovative. The guttural grit of The Hu‘s singer Galbadrakh Tsendbaatar is a downright bizarre style to hear paired up with the catchy pop rock vocals ROME, the former singer of Sublime. But I think they’ve done a pretty darn good job making something cohesive that bends the Heaven & Hell out of their previous genres and cultures.
House of Protection – “Godspeed”
This track comes racing out of the gate with a precise professional ferocity that simply screams ‘seasoned vets.’ House of Protection is a band comprised of former metal bands. I love the catchy chorus in this song with the varied vocal styles. And damn, could their drummer be any tighter? Every time I hear these guys I just think, “wow, they’re powerful.”
Goldfinger featuring Mark Hoppus – “Freaking out a bit”
This is an unexpected, but logical collaboration between two of the most successful pop punk writers of the last 20 years. Certainly you know Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 as being incredibly successful, but you may not know John Feldmann, the lead singer of Goldfinger. His success (beyond the few minor Goldfinger radio hits like “Superman” and their cover of “99 Red balloons”) John’s main musical success actually comes from writing songs for other artists like Avril Lavigne, 5 Seconds of Summer, Hilary Duff, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Panic at the Disco and fittingly Blink-182.
The combination of these two punk heroes sounds even better than I would have imagined and the song has a unique flavor.
Deftones – “Milk of the Madonna“
The Deftones are back and somehow are bigger than they even were in their heyday 25 years ago in the end of the Nu-Metal era. I saw The Deftones fill the Chase Center arena in San Francisco this year and I was shocked that the vast majority of the crowd was under 20! There’s some magic to The Deftones that has always surrounded this band. They were given the key to Sacramento in the 90s for being the most innovative heavy rock bands of their time. Back then the innovation came from mixing Latin culture with powerful heavy rock music. The Deftones never really fit in any genre but they’re accepted and revered by most. I personally haven’t loved any of their albums since white pony in 2001. But this album surprised me and much of their initial power seems to be present. Stephen Carpenter‘s epically erie guitar tones are somehow still innovating and Chino Moreno‘s vocals are still finding unique places to explore while his short pants and clearly visible white socks are dancing around stages.
I chose this song because of it’s very musical elements and the fact that the chorus harkens back to their life-changing first song on their first album, bored when he sing screams “on display”.
Thornhill – “TONGUES“
Wait, did Brandon put two Deftones songs on his playlist, breaking his rule? No, my good human, this is actually a different band that just sounds exactly, precisely, entirely, ridiculously, someone insultingly and somewhat amazingly like The Deftones.
I saw Thornhill open for Sleep Token this year and immediately noticed how young they were and how much they sounded like The Deftones. I was also incredibly impressed that this youngster had the entire audience on their feet during the opening set and continually kept engaging us with extremely good stage presence and crowd interaction, which is rarely seen with opening bands.
Usually I would say something like, well if The Deftones can’t make great albums anymore at least thornhill’s going to do it with their sound, but being that The Deftones put out a great album this year, I don’t know how to feel about this band. Thornhills 2025 album is also not as good as their previous albums, which have songs that I would argue to be better than any of the Deftones songs of the last 20 years, but if they can’t keep up the innovation, I don’t know, they might need to find their own sound, being that The Deftones have their mojo back and all…
But still, this song rocks, and Jacob Charlton can surely sing.
We Came as Romans – “BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED”
Coming full circle, as I began the playlist with a child speaking affirmations, I’m ending the playlist with a child speaking a bitter truth “ALL IS BEAUTIFUL, BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED.”
There are many schools of philosophical thought that explore this concept and some colloquial statements come to mind: “None of us get out of this one alive” or “Life is a death sentence.”
But the core for me here, and why I’m choosing to end my musical year with this statement, is to combat the existential terror that has been building in and eroding my mind & body throughout the year. AI taking our jobs, impending social implosion, political polarization, families ripped apart by racist hate, the ultra wealthy getting wealthier from the removal of support from the poor…Reverse Robinhood sponsored by our government and voted for by the poor poor themselves… Just to name a few. It’s enough to have caused a major meltdown in my nervous system by the end of 2025. I will not let 2026 fall to the same fate.
In 2026, I will see ALL AS BEAUTIFUL, not just because society appears to be crashing and we are doomed to die someday, BUT because we can cherish whatever moments we have and choose to do GOOD with them.
Love,
Brandon
