Like Sugar - Chaka Kahn
from the single Like Sugar (2018)
Today was a strange day.
The strangeness actually started the evening before. I was up on a newly opened rooftop bar, scouting locations for my birthday bash, when I made the grave mistake of checking my work email.
Stupid, I know...
Much to my surprise, my credentials failed and I could not receive email. I then checked the various other corporate systems. None worked.
Before too long, paranoia got the best of me and I reached the conclusion that I would be fired the next morning. I texted my boss with no reply. My night was ruined.
In the morning, I dreaded going into the office. I drank espressos and got showered, all the while role-playing a series of imaginary conversations. By the time I began my 90-minute commute, i was a teenage zombie.
I put on a playlist of songs I'm considering writing about. First song up: Like Sugar by Chaka Kahn. Sweet perfection. Loose yourself in the groove, the beat.
Once traffic cleared, I sped towards Bumfuck with the stereo as loud as imaginable. I played it over and over, and over again. It saved me.
I ultimately have lived to fight another day...
Fast forward towards 10pm, I am hanging out with a fun crowd, dancing in a friend's living room to Todd Rundgren tunes. They never sounded so good.
I listened to a new Chaka Kahn today, and it made all the difference.
