One immediately came to mind for this! Reliquia by Rosalía! This song, from what I've read, is inspired by Saint Rosalia of Lima who left relics in all the different places she visited. In the song, Rosalía sings about the pieces of herself she's left in all the different places around the world she's visited. This song came to mind as the feeling it inspires in me is that idea of the seasons of life and what we leave in the places that shape us. One of the coolest parts of the song is near the very end where the music stops, there's a sound like a page turning and then it immediately drops in with this fast paced hopeful musical outro. No lyrics - those pages haven't been written yet because there are new seasons coming.
