Why they chose it
"I want people to walk away thinking 'that was so them'."
"It captures exactly how I feel about being alive."
"Because life is long and complicated and this song gets it."
"I've played this more than any other song, and that says everything."
"This song reminds me of home, wherever that was at the time."
"This is how I'd want to be summed up, if it came to that."
"This song reminds me of long summers that felt like they'd never end."
"I played this on repeat after I lost someone I loved."
"It's the sound of the people and places that made me, me."
"This song reminds me of home, wherever that was at the time."
"Out of everything I've ever loved, this stays."
"Because life is long and complicated and this song gets it."
"This song is, weirdly, the most 'me' thing I own."
"I want whoever's there to know this was a deliberate choice, and it mattered."
"It's imperfect and messy and that's the point."
"I want this to be a moment of stillness before everything moves on."
"It's the song I'd want carved into the memory of the day."
"It says what I never could."
"I want this to be the last impression I leave."
"It's the song I sing in the car when no one's watching."
