What’s one song you have memorized completely? I Ain’t Stressin’ Today, by Dear Silas, is a song that I have memorized and is a must-play in my morning routine. I can’t put my finger on it, but this song speaks to me from the beat, melodies, hook, lyrics, and words of encouragement. Who doesn’t love classic bop and empowering songs? I like relatable music that I can see myself playing at any age. I am consistently searching for timeless records- this song is one of them.
