Last.fm tells me I started listening to Ruel in late 2019. 2019 was a big year for me; I got a promotion at work, and I still thought that my biggest challenges would be learning how to grow into that new role. When I listen to this song, the lyric "I'm tired of all of this free time" flits out of my grasp; 2020 would soon suck all the marrow from my free time. I still love singing this in the car, though.
