A couple of times a year I make myself a tape to play in the car, a tape full of all the new songs I've loved over the previous few months, and every time I finish one I can't believe that there'll be another one. Yet there always is, and I can't wait for the next one; you need only a few hundred more things like that, and you've got a life worth living.

In his book "Songbook," Nick Hornby reflects on the joy and anticipation that comes with discovering new music. He mentions how, a couple of times a year, he crafts a tape filled with his favorite songs from recent months. The excitement he feels upon completing each tape reminds him that there will always be more music to enjoy, creating a sense of hope and continual discovery in his life.

Hornby suggests that these musical discoveries contribute significantly to a fulfilling life. Each new song represents a potential experience and emotion, and the idea that there are countless more to encounter gives a sense of purpose and enthusiasm. This perspective on music encapsulates the essence of living, where the pursuit of new joys, no matter how small, enriches our existence.
