Tenor
Sometimes a song is just a song.
Sometimes, however, you hear an old lyric years after the fact and suddenly realize it sounds an awful lot like something that actually happened.
From nuclear nightmares and collapsing levees to pandemics, terrorist attacks, technological revolutions and artists who eerily foreshadowed their own tragedies, these songs weren’t necessarily predicting the future.
They were capturing fears, possibilities and coincidences that later became uncomfortably real.
Crank up the volume and try not to get chills.
