The chase
Life is often described as a journey, but at its core, it is also a chase — a relentless pursuit of goals, dreams, and desires that drives us forward.

A soft trumpet line begins, but then a piano darts in, drums slip under the horn, and the whole thing feels like a private talk in a language you do not speak. You shift in your seat.
