For the drive home

When you need something beside you, but not conversation.

There’s a particular kind of quiet that comes after you leave somewhere hard.

You’ve held it together.
You’ve said enough.
Now you just need to get from where you are to somewhere safer - without falling apart on the way.

These songs aren’t for processing or reflecting.
They’re for keeping you company while you move.

You don’t need to listen closely.
You don’t need to sing along.
You can turn the volume up, or let it fade into the background.

This is music for the road; steady, familiar, and not demanding anything from you.
