This is one of the greatest songs ever written.

almost 1.5 years in, and this song continues to provide solace that's deeply appreciated. Thank you, Cassandra.

The first time I heard this I couldn’t stop crying

Yeah! Same here!

The perfect meditative soundtrack for long, sobering walks and/or drives! Having this track is like having your own personal therapist singing to you through your earphones.

this definitely sounds like some kind of therapy. it's gourgeous.

There are some things you don't know you need until you hear them. This is one of those occasions

This song helped me go through one of the hardest patches of my life in 2021... I'll forever be grateful to Cassandra for this gift :)

Was in a gloomy headspace, lying in bed without much desire to do anything at all, but watching and listening this really brightened things up, thank you! 🥰

I hope things are going better for you now! Life is full of peaks and troughs; you just have to learn to cope with all the emotions that accompany them in a healthy manner. That's resilience.

Same for me today. I never go to bed in the daytime but was so gloomy today I took to my 🛌 in the afternoon for a while. Just heard this for the first time on Gideon Coe BBC6 and it really warmed my heart and made me feel strangely content. Has a beautiful atmosphere to it. Great lyrics. I’ll come find you, we can listen together 👌🏽

I've had the whole album on repeat for the last days but this one really stands out. The lyrical theme, the softness of her voice, the vocal transitions from speaking into singing and the great saxophone make up a whole. This song is like being wrapped up in a warm blanket on a cold, sunny day outside. Thank you for this gift.

Great song. The transitions between singing and talking to the fourth wall is great. That saxophone really it’s own character, I love it.

Here because this was my #1 song for 2023 on my Spotify wraps. Thanks for helping me thru it ❤

Sublime. Just need to find someone who loves this song the same way I do.

man the cinematography and editing in this come onnnnnnnnnn, unbelievable

This is amazing. A mystical and breathtakingly beautiful piece of spoken word music. This is essential listening. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. 💙💚

Lately, this has become my happy place.

Not much music moves me these days, but this did. I love things with space, room to breathe. Beautiful.

So healing and therapeutic. I love this so much

One year on, this is defo the early front runner for best song of the decade. I remember how blown away I was when I first heard it, I had to stop in the street and take it all in. Still hits just as hard what must be 100+ listens later. Such a unique, gentle, gorgeous track, so full of life.

this is so different and experimental. love it.

This just made my day! Thanks

Listening to this at the beginning of your day is so calming

I cant stop listening this 3rd day a row

If there's a better moment in a song, this year than when she asks "Are you nervous?" and then she sings "I said, yes....................................". Jesus wept, I love that.

Best song of the 2021 for me. Thank you Cassandra!

I just wanna leave my trace here. Beautiful song, it hit me deeply.

Love this! Laurie Anderson for a new generation.

2021 needs this song’s spirit and energy. we all do.

This song moves me unlike any other... not just the words but the movements between speech to singing, the softness from the vocals... Just wow

I cried the entire song, a wave, a release came into me. I feel better after hearing this.

i hope her music can touch more people because the world needs to hear her messages

This may seem a tad hyperbolic.. but this is my fav thing of 2021 so far (: Thank you

Love this song so much !! Than u. Hugs from Mexico 🎶👍🏼🌸🌄🚘♀️

This song is like a visit from my therapist

Just heard this on the HPR radio here in Maui. Mahalo 🌺

What a great surprise! It's has been a huge discovering.

Phenomenal view is Such a beautiful body of work. My favorite album of 2021 so far

perfect perfect perfect perfect perfect song

This is such a healing and beautiful song, I've been starting my mornings with it every day for the past week. And this video gets to the heart of it. Amazing!

i remember listening to this song a while back. it recently popped again and it’s beautiful.

Love the use of colour in this video - the autumnal leaves 🍁, yellow jacket, and the red top and lipstick to represent ‘Perry’. Wonderful.

這個背景音樂太迷人了，歌手的咬字也非常的溫柔優雅，有一種沉靜的力量感，整首歌都像是浸泡在大自然的深遠能量中一樣

I'm listening over and over again. Thanks Cas from South Korea.

What a beautiful song. Thank you 🙏

This makes me feel things I've never felt

Thank you, Cassandra. Lovely lyrics and groove. Love the play on 'hard drive'. Just heard it on WXPN and it's one of those few songs for which stopped working on my canoe and immediately had to search.

Very moving. Just gorgeous. The circumstances behind it are rather unfortunate, but life's hardships often seem to lead to beautiful artistry.

Such a beautiful song and video. Thanks!

Yes, this is a truly marvelous song!

I was looking on a website for a Vinyl from an artist which had “Jenkins” in their name, and your album popped up in the search page. I was curious so I decided to listen to this track, and wow. Pure poetry! Love it

Here after hearing the recommendation from NPR's "Pop Culture Happy Hour". What a great recommendation!

I'm so in love with this song.

'Music is the only thing mankind will never truly conquer. It's like chasing the horizon, it carries on and expands in ways like nothing ever before, forever onwards...'🔥 🔥 🔥❤️👑

this allows me to go into my deep conscientiousness and it always reassures me that things will be okay

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Easily my song of the year. Thank you, Cassandra!

reinventing the wheel! so so good

thank you for dropping this, Casasandra. Just beautiful.

Mesmerizing song, and the album is a powerful and wonderful journey.

this song is the hug that i most needed. 💕

No words to describe this song ! Cheers Cassandra ! Love it !

I love this song so much. big hugs from S.Korea

yea id give this song a 10/10 just heard it on the radio and had to look it up. nice work

Just discovered you from my Spotify daily mix. Love!

„So, all those little pieces they took from you… they are coming back now“…. chokes me up every single time and I don‘t even know why… Just breathe… one, two, three… all those little pieces… Yeah, a rough few months… I guess…

It's the first time I've heard the song and it's one of the best songs I've heard in the last 10 years, it's perfect

So comfortable it is to come back here ☺ We're gonna put your heart back together, But this year, it's gonna be a good one 💗

This song is about finding a kernel of truth, something personally resonant you can latch onto, despite the overwhelm of the well-intentioned noise.

I like your song and the tone of the video. Good work !

very nice, love the woozy americana feel and the dream-like lyrics

You are an artist! Pure! Respect from Greece

Yesterday I had my second date with somebody I met about a month ago, and feelings arose within me, feelings I had never had for anybody. However, I am going to study abroad for the next year, and although I will be occasionally coming back home throughout the experience, I guess I won't be able to see him as much as I would like to. Some might say the timing is bad, and although that same thought crosses my mind from time to time, I think I'm going to carry on getting to meet him and building whatever comes. Because that's what 'Hard Drive' has meant to me for the past year: feeling outweighs thinking, and the overall picture of your life is not only the memories you keep from all the years, but also the feelings associated with it. I guess not everybody relates to this narrative, but I as a feeler do. And I think we feelers should all embrace that nature of ours, because as the book keeper said: 'You know, the mind... The mind is just a hard drive.' Thank you, Cassandra, for the inspiration you have given me to grow and thrive from within

1...2...3..... Wow! Love it!

literally the best album

Was looking for something else completely and discovered this gem

Love this. The beginning reminds me of October in the railroad earth read by Kerouac

Arrangements are very beautiful. Song is great. Video leaves me an optimistic flavor.

hypnotic, gorgeous and wonderful

This is so incredibly moving. Pitchfork #2 song of 2021. Paste #1 song of 2021. So well deserved. I love how heartfelt and unpretentious this is. She has a beautiful voice, both spoken and sung. I cried the first handful of times I watched this. Amazing artist.
