I’m almost happy I left New York before summer ended, because I can’t imagine how much harder it would have been to watch the sun set earlier, feel the air get cooler, notice the shift in energy from backyard BBQ to book and bank time queues.
But my summer was perfect, and ended on the most wonderful note (God ever wrote).
When I wasn’t in school or with family, my beautiful Couch Sessions squad kept me smiling, trap-eoke-ing, learning, singing, dancing, and rollercoastering.
It’s bittersweet for me to post this final Summer Sessions mixtape for 2012 because it only reminds me that they’re sitting in Brooklyn somewhere, laughing together, working on playlists and booking incredible artists. But music is my favorite time machine, and in the same way I always invite you to hold my hand by listening to a playlist together virtually, I’m depending heavily on music to make sure I can share their highs and lows with them.
Enjoy - it’s just as pertinent to Manila rainy days as it is to New York summers. Promise.
Don’t forget to pay it forward. Share with someone that might find a smile in it. Download link: http://soundcloud.com/thecouchsessions/summersoulsessionsvol3
