I first heard those lyrics attached to a Lord of the Rings TV promo. Not exactly where you’d expect to discover a song about aging, regret, and all the stories we never wrote. When German DJ and producer Wankelmut remixed Asaf’s “Reckoning Song,” it became a massive hit across Europe in 2012. The Lord of the Rings promo was brilliant and hilarious, and I gave it an easy 10 out of 10. The song captures something we all wrestle with: the weight of time passing and the haunting question of what we might have done differently.
