Pleased to Meet You

I produced this song when I contracted Covid for the very first time earlier this year.

I was isolated in my room, listening to Burial’s Untrue. I also dug deeper into B12’s Time Tourist, and ate plain food while rewatching Cowboy Bebop, this time with English subtitles. When I felt less fatigued, I continued reading When the Body Says No by Gabor Mate.

I really appreciated the stillness. I had an unusual level of focus, resulting from fewer distractions. I finally understood the essence of Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport and what it meant for me: a tired and unfocused mind cannot create, or one that is trying to achieve too many things.

For the first time in a long while, I understood what was in my control. My mind wondered, and I felt at ease going from place to place. It led to a few life decisions which I’ve mainly stuck too.
