It’s time to pair Chapter Six of The Great Belonging with a song by Taylor Swift.

I went through about three different options before I landed on "Soon You’ll Get Better" to represent the “Occasions of Loneliness” chapter from The Great Belonging, It was difficult because so many songs could work with this chapter which is a list of 20 things that can make you feel lonely.

You can hear me read the entire list in this Instagram post.
