love always. Such a beautiful way to capture moments with songs; interlace moments with songs.

The way Abdurraqib talks about music, media, community, his loved ones, and racism and anti-Blackness -- and brings thoughts on these topics together -- is unparalleled. I loved hearing this on audio, because he reads it himself; I was even interested in essays about musicians whom I had little knowledge of. I feel like I'm struggling with what more to say besides that he's so smart and incisive and expansive in his thinking. Everyone should read this, especially those interested in cultural criticism!

This challenged me in places. Was glad to have listened to it.

Went on with high expectations and it exceeded every one of them. Can't believe I put off this book for so long. What a gift. How can a book so specific be so universal. How can stories so not about me be so about me

Unrelentingly beautiful. Makes me nostalgic for and appreciative of all of the lives I'll never lead.
