THE SCOOP

From Chile to London, Belgium and now Barcelona, Dani Hart has followed music, love and a restless curiosity wherever they’ve led. Along the way, she’s found herself on stages where thousands of strangers sing back songs they’ve never heard before — and discovered that perhaps the wandering was always part of the story.

In an ideal world, you’d get to exchange songs twenty minutes before meeting each other and listen to that little soundtrack to your introduction. I guarantee that if we all started doing that we’d be a less lonely species. It’s a tidy idea. Put some thought into the soundtrack to your introduction. I’ll send you mine if you send me yours.

We smile and remember the lyrics from that road trip with our best friend back in 2004, but not what we ate for lunch yesterday. Music is powerful.Now cue the oversharing, unfiltered stand-up comedian.
