Good Material Playlist

Good Material moves through intimacy, delay, and the messy aftermath of love—so this playlist shifts from warm, acoustic closeness to restless, city-lit motion, then back into quieter, reflective space. The instrumental half leans into momentum-and-memory (parks, late nights, gaps between calls), while the vocal tracks echo Andy and Jen’s pull toward adulthood—and the abrupt way it slips away.
