As It Was by Harry Styles
So, I feel like this is a bit of an underwhelming end to the count-up; I can't say this is a song I feel great resonance or affection for, but when I was back home this summer and the rental car's stereo options were toggling between Top 40 stations and classic rock, I ended up hearing this song approximately 578 times, give or take. And then I realized something-as I turn 50 today, the boys turn five years old in five days. Fast forward 10 years, when I'm 60 and they're 15 and I will likely have been subjected to a stream of the likes of Styles and his type as the boys figure out what styles and genres are most palatable to their ears. I can put up the good fight and influence as I may, but if I were to do this exercise in another 10 years, I'm guessing there would be some interesting selections chosen for a man advancing towards his golden years :-).
Rather than doing a year by year recount, I've put these all together in a YouTube playlist, if you're so inclined. Whether you've followed this on a daily basis or a bit more irregularly, I hope you've enjoyed the count-up. Stick around to see what I've got cooked up when I turn 60!
