48 tracks. One vibe. You know exactly which vibe.

The playlist is 48 songs I've collected over the past two years. There's no logic to the order. That's the point.

It starts with something you walk into the metro to, feeling like you're in a film. It moves through something that makes you dance in a kitchen in the middle of the night. It ends with something that makes you go quiet.

Music is the only thing that surprises me every single time. I know the songs. I know how they go. And still — the right chord at the right moment — it does something, every time.

Best moment of the past year: on my bike in the rain, wrong song playing, accidentally the perfect song for that moment.

The playlist is called 'main character mode'. Look it up. Or make your own.
