Musical Thesis: The Ten (November 2024)

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

With a month left to go in 2024, we are drawing closer to cementing my ten most listened to songs of the year in stone. As I listen to the latest version of The Ten, I still feel baffled by the sonic complexities of the year. In fact, if I were to create a word of phrase association for each of the ten songs listed above, it might look like this: Questioning Yourself, Out of Place, Acoustic Reinterpretations, Time, Movie Soundtrack, Questioning Everything Around You, Memories, Simplification, Love, and A Respect for the Past. Each song is unique in its own way, and each draws a different emotion from me. As you make your way through the playlist, I hope the same can be said for you.

Be good to each other,

Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
