Everywhere We've Been
A Playlist Across Cultures, Memory & Motion
Everywhere We’ve Been
Hope travels. It shifts languages, crosses oceans, and settles into new rhythms. In this volume, five Cybernauts trace the emotional geography of healing and belonging—through music that connects culture, memory, and motion.
“Holiday” – Madonna
Joy as protest. Glitter as resistance. The ultimate escape anthem.“Electric Blue” – Icehouse
Synth-drenched longing. A postcard from the soft side of neon.“Freedom! ’90” – George Michael
A bold refusal to be packaged. A defiant, stylish liberation.
💬 Joanie’s Reflection:
“I’ve always been a little too much—too sparkly, too weird, too into cassette tapes and crop tops. But I’ve also learned that every time I show up as myself, I’m honoring every kid who danced alone in their bedroom and imagined a brighter world. The 80s didn’t just give us music. It gave us mirrors. And I like who I see in mine now.”
“Road to Nowhere” – Talking Heads
Wry and weightless. An anthem for loving the journey, not the plan.“Vienna” – Billy Joel
Gentle urgency. A plea to slow down, to feel more, to be present.“La Ritournelle” – Sébastien Tellier
A cinematic swell of emotion. Hope as elegance, pain as poetry.
💬 Nick’s Reflection:
“I used to think travel was about escape. But the longer I’ve wandered, the more I’ve realized I’ve just been circling back to myself. Certain cities keep your secrets. Certain songs remind you who you were when you first heard them. And hope? For me, it lives in those echoes.”
“Blue” – BigBang
Melancholy K-pop with maturity and ache. Vulnerability in full color.“Heavy Rotation” – AKB48
Upbeat, sparkling, and full of movement. Pure J-pop joy with emotional undertones.“Born This Way” – Lady Gaga
Bold. Inclusive. A global anthem for self-expression and identity without apology.
💬 Poppy’s Reflection:
“I grew up feeling like a bridge between worlds—never fully here, never fully there. But I’ve realized the space between cultures isn’t a gap. It’s a dance floor. A runway. A page. And I get to decide how it’s filled. That’s the spark I carry: the freedom to rewrite the map.”
“E Kuʻu Morning Dew” – Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
A gentle reverence. Language, land, and legacy held in voice and mist.“Higher Ground” – Stevie Wonder
Resilient funk. A rhythm for pushing forward with grace and grit.“Island Style” – John Cruz
A love letter to home. Every strum, every lyric—local and universal.
💬 Noelani’s Reflection:
“Where I come from, we don’t just carry stories—we sing them, dance them, live them. That’s where my hope is. Not in escaping, but in staying rooted. Even when I travel far, I bring the ocean with me. I carry Hawai‘i not just in my name, but in every step.”
“Agolo” – Angélique Kidjo
Vibrant, urgent, joyful. A call to honor the Earth and one another.“Malaika” – Miriam Makeba
Tender, timeless. Love and longing across continents.“Asimbonanga” – Johnny Clegg & Savuka
An anti-apartheid anthem. Resistance meets reflection. The spark passed forward.
💬 Vincent’s Reflection:
“In every market melody, in every mother tongue I don’t speak but still feel, I find pieces of the spark I carry. It’s not just mine. It’s made of drums and dust, of stories told before microphones. Hope doesn’t always sound like the future. Sometimes, it sounds like home.”
