John,

We know that music has always powered movements — from classic anti-war anthems like Fortunate Son to powerful manifestos of resistance like Fight the Power — these kinds of songs have gotten so many through the craziest of times. 

So we want to know…what song(s) have gotten you through these hard times?

If there is an album, artist, or hit single that has given you hope, lit a fire within you, or brought you peace this year — we want to hear all about it. Reply to this email and we’ll feature it on our Soundtrack for Change playlist on YouTube.

I’ll go first: Hayley Williams’ song True Believer has carried me through the later-half of 2025. True Believer is a critique of the racism, hypocrisy, and commodification of her home state of Tennessee — it confronts the contradictions of a religion that has been used to justify racial violence and oppression, while also questioning institutions that prioritize profit over people. It’s just so timely and captivating.

Hit reply and tell us what you’ve been blasting through your speakers this year, or better yet, send along the Youtube link to your favorite anthem and we'll add it the our growing list. 

Let’s make this movement sound as powerful as it feels.
