Currently, a disappointment
I admit that I never cancelled my Spotify account. I know. Okay? I know.
(Of the things I should do but don’t, the list is long. let’s not get into it.)
So I still have Spotify. I have tons of my own playlists. There is one particular playlist in my library that I enjoy, but it isn’t mine. It belongs to a boy I once knew. (One of my most favorite things about him was his taste in music.)
We are strangers now but I was grateful to have this small piece. A lot of fun new discoveries in there, plus a few familiar and forgotten favorites. He changed it up a lot and I was always finding something surprising.
Imagine my disappointment then, when I realized tonight that the playlist has two collaborators. Him and his wife. I’m not sure if it’s always been that way? I don’t know which songs are his and which are hers.
It was nice, having a tiny secret window into his world. Only it’s a tiny secret window into THEIR world. Sure it’s still got all that great music but it doesn’t feel the same, now that I know it isn’t just his.
I didn’t before, but now I feel weird and creepy about it. I am relieved Spotify doesn’t alert him when I listen or look at the playlist, god how mortifying.
