Song of the Month:  “Growing Sideways” by Noah Kahan

Editor’s Note:  I love great turns of phrases, especially when the discussion is self-discovery.  This Noah Kahan song is his second shot (first was well-known “Stick Season”) as my featured song.  I enjoy his self-deprecating humor and his deep digs into the whys of our being.  When you listen, sit quietly, recognizing it’s a disquieting theme. 

“Cause everyone’s growing and everyone’s healthy,

I’m terrified that I might never have met me.

Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty,

I guess I’ll drive.”
