My MixMania playlist might appear innocent enough, but the reality is, each song is mixed and interspersed with news, and real people’s weeping and disbelief, and horror, and explosions, and screams, and the sounds of glass and stones and steel falling, and presidential quotations, and the result is very, very disturbing. But this theme was supposed to reflect my ‘take’ on what happened on this date, five years ago, and that’s exactly what this mix does. It horrifies me, and reminds me; it soothes me with beautiful music, and then it reminds me again. I can’t listen to it all in one sitting; it’s too intense. I cry, every time.
