Tue 17 November 2020 under Podcast

This episode is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Beginning a new lyric-focussed miniseries, Will and Nathan take a deeper dive into lyrics from a few songs to talk about their introspective qualities. In a related fashion, Will and Nathan talk about how valid their own interpretations of these lyrics are in the context of what the writers intended when penning them. If the writer meant one thing, but we find another meaning, who’s right? Does the writer’s original meaning trump ours or are our personal readings of these lyrics just as if not more important?

Here’s the playlist of the songs we focussed on this episode. It’s only 5 songs, but it might help find some elusive artists. cough Famous cough.
