Hey there! I started publishing my own memoir on Substack back in February. I cover every year of my life (beginning in 1963) via key events and my own top ten songs from each year. https://danpal.substack.com/s/the-playlist-of-my-life-a-top-ten?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=menu I'm up to 2007 which I am working on now. It's been quite a journey! It may be a bit self-indulgent but I've been doing it because I need to let these stories out AND explain why I've liked the music I've liked. I also think associating memory with songs is a great way to keep that memory strong! Would love to hear your story related to music too! Feel free to reach out if you want to share your own thoughts/concerns about this process.
