Hamilton. One word that means so much to so many since the amazingly talented Lin Manuel Miranda's break-out musical came on the scene in 2015.
So, what does this have to do with design? Well, I bought the Hamilton Soundtrack as soon as it was released...I may have pre-ordered it...but that's not important. What is important is that I've been listening to the song "You'll be Back," that is brilliantly performed by the incomparable Jonathan Groff (pictured with Miranda below) on repeat for days lately. I can't help it. It's just that good. The whole soundtrack is amazing, but "You'll be Back" has been stuck in my head for weeks.
And I thought to myself, how can I incorporate this into my blog? It took a while, but I finally came up with something. I'm sure that adding music to our blogs is definitely an option, but what about a "Song of the Week," or--in my case--a "Song Stuck in my Head this Week." Okay, the name needs a little work, but you get my point. Every week we could change the song, everyday--if you're that dedicated. At any rate we could design our blogs to work like this every week. Using some kind of app, or something attached to Blogger, where we can designate a song for each day or every week.
I'm not sure how I could implement this into my blog, but maybe I'll email Blogger and suggest something like it. Either way, I implore you to purchase the Hamilton Soundtrack, or at least listen to it on Spotify if you haven't already!
Oh! I really like this idea and think it would be a great addition to your blog! P.S Im listening to Stay Alive (WEEEE!) right now and I completely agree that this soundtrack is amazing. And You'll Be Back is an amazing song to have stuck in your head.
