Careful Now

Success rarely announces its dangers. It arrives quietly—through praise, momentum, and softened resistance—until perspective begins to slip. In this episode of Listening to Lyrics, we sit with “Careful Now,” a song that whispers what applause can drown out: that achievement doesn’t erase our humanity. This is a reflection on humility as practice, the importance of truth-tellers, and remembering who we are when everything seems to be going right.
