I started off the day with my Breathe mix, an energetic collection of songs that makes me think of deep inhalations against a rush of music.

Friday afternoon. I was tempted to leave work early, but held on until 4:15. I put my headphones on, and as I stepped out of the building, Honour (Juno Mix) by VNV nation was the first thing to come on. It just floored me. I mean, that song is what I based my Breathe mix on.

Hearing the words, “Notify ground troops”, is the best way to step into freedom.
