Plus a few modern-day surprises along the way. Put your headphones on and lower the lights—it’s going to get heavy in the best way. 🎵 ▸ LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE'S PLAYLIST:Listen free with ads:🔗 — YouTube Music -  ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/yt66Listen with a paid music subscription:🔗 — Apple Music -  ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/am66🔗 — Spotify - ▶️ music.afterplaylist.com/sp66🎧 ▸ MUSIC DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE:♪ — "Safe from Harm" - Massive Attack feat.
