A great New Year’s Day song: Virginia Wing’s “Be Released.” It starts with a question, a self-interrogation:
“Tell me: where do you go from here?”
The chorus:
“Progress is slow / But it will be easier, it’s easier now to say / I’m home, four doors and all the furniture I own / Dissolved / I choose to be released from all of this.”
Release the last year. Walk into the new year.
