The first song matters more than people think.
It sets the pace. It tells the drive whether this is a rush or a release. Skipping it feels like interrupting a sentence before it’s finished.
January makes this clearer. You’re already easing back into routines. Letting the song play becomes a small act of patience — a reminder that not everything needs adjusting.
Sometimes the song isn’t perfect. That’s fine. Neither is the day yet.
Let it play anyway.
