Condense an Album's Songs and Concept into Liner Notes
You know what the album is about. The listener, three tracks in, does not. This takes your track list and the gist of each song, finds the thread running through the record, and writes it up as first-person liner notes that add context without explaining the lyrics away.

1. Identify the through-line connecting the songs: a theme, a season of life, a relationship, a place
2. Group tracks into a rough emotional arc (opening, turning point, resolution)
3. Write the notes so they add context without explaining every lyric
4. End on a line that sends the listener back to track one
