Time - SG Lewis, Rhye

The moment this track starts, it lets you know what it’s going to evoke.

“There was harmony in the music. There was harmony in the behavior of the people. And we had a good time.”

I miss going out.

I miss dancing with friends.

I miss dancing with strangers.

I miss being taken on journeys by musicians and DJs I love...and some I barely know.

Sheltering in place is hard for me.

Sometimes it feels like a really important part of my life, a really important part of who I am, is missing.

Sometimes I get scared that when things open up again, I won’t be able to access that part of my life again.

Like the part of me that connects with going out dancing will have been neglected so long, that it would have eventually have atrophied with out me even noticing it.

But then I hear a track like this.

A track that takes me back to the dance floor.

A track that reminds me that what I love about the dance floor doesn’t only have to happen on the dance floor.

A track that reminds me that I can dance at home.

A track that tells me to dance at home.

To dance at home every day. Make it a mourning ritual. Or an evening one.

A track that reminds me that I need dancing in my life.

And even if I can’t have that magical moment on the dance floor. I can make new magic right where I am.

I needed this track.

To remind me of all that.

To remind me I can make my own magic.

To remind me…“Don’t waste this time.”
