Music has the power to stop time. But music also keeps time.

When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.

I keep moving through time and time keeps moving through me. And through that process, life takes shape. The question is what shape it is. I'm not the first person to ask that question, or to see how absurd it is to think there's a real answer. Maybe life's a circle.
