It’s 3 a.m. You’re alone. You’re behind the wheel. The water droplets race over your windshield and distort the fluorescent street lights, blowing them up like fireworks. As your tires roll on the cold, wet Eugene asphalt, you start to reflect.

You remember the great memories you shared with someone else. You realize that all the best times of your life are behind you. You reminisce about the individual who you’ve become a hollow shell of over years of experiences. Or maybe you’re just headed to the next party.

In this Emerald Podcast, Alec and Jordan discuss the appropriate music for late night drives, no matter where you or your mind is racing.
