Your Mix Tape, Track 6

There are so many ways to relish Once Blue's "Where to Now?": first, you can follow along with the double bass, plucked to a soothing meandering rhythm. Then, you can, without learning the words, allow yourself a seduction from Rebecca Martin's intimate singing that teases and coos every syllable.

Finally, the lyrics. On a perfect clandestine beach some where, you wonder what's in store for you and your strange, newfound lover.

Join me on the sand and rest yourself
What's the rush to leave for someplace else?
Listen to the sound of folding waves
Watch the planes go by.
Nothing we say or do secures our place
When a gust of wind a thousand miles away could
Change the course of everything. Everything.

Summer is fading, and we don't know where to. Listen.
