In which we discuss hitting the wall, pushing to keep going, and finding light at the edges.
Only one song title emerged from this discussion: "I Miss Hugging My Friends." That sounds like a song. This episode also has a bonus track shhh
This episode's song is titled either "The Same Alone" or "{The Context is Wrong) Real Real Wrong." Vote on our Facebook page. We talk about sharing isolating experiences and then trying to feel more organized.
One week in....talking about love and home and fear and the no-plan plan.
This is our first episode of a new show where Yoni plays some guitar and then Laura and Yoni talk. This is happening during a pandemic.
The Fines are having a hard time talking about anything besides Steven Universe these days. Luckily, that show happens to have produced one of the best ever songs about love. The whole family gets together to talk about this one.
We have a lot to say about James Blake again. And Yoni chooses another pop song, this time a sad, sweet one from Ariana Grande. #byekitty
It's been a while. We return with a track from our favorite album of 2018 (DJDS), and Yoni makes Laura feel guilty for scoffing at Kacey Musgraves.
The truth comes out on this one. Laura doesn't love Beyonce. Yoni deals. We still talk about The Carters for a long time, and then Laura's Kishi Bashi pick reminds us what really matters.
No punk this time. Promise. You'll probably like Laura's Lola Marsh song. You might like Yoni's Natalie Prass. I mean, Laura doesn't, but you might. These songs gave us a lot to talk about.
What do a lovely Laura Marling song and a raucous Joyce Manor song have in common? It's not just that they're love songs, y'all. They're basically about the same thing. We break it down while enjoying each other's company. Please join us.
It's Season Two! Thanks for your patience as we went into podcast hibernation. Leon Bridges kicks it off with a pretty traditional love song, and then Laura brazenly takes on Bon Iver, somehow connecting the two. And that's what Love Songs the Podcast is all about.
We test our thesis that all songs are love songs this week with a Big Thief song about an old friend and a Nathaniel Rateliff song about personal struggle. Don't worry - we did it. They're also love songs. Join our conversation about stardust, rabies, and not knowing anything. It's good!
On this episode we talk a lot about telephones. Also shampoo commercials, Wall-E, and two really aweome songs: an old one by Labi Siffre and a newer one from Syd.
Happy New Year! Our winter break - and these two songs - have helped remind us that we are good to each other and that it feels good to fall back into place. Beach House and Whilk and Misky's cover of "So Good to Me" provide this week's inspiration.
It's our first ever holiday special! We can stretch the definition of hanukkah song even farther than our definition of love song. Disclosure and James Blake w/Justin Vernon help us usher in the Festival of Lights. Happy Hanukkah!
There's a theme here, as we "Go" and then "Remain." Laura's Gracie and Rachel pick transitions so smoothly into Yoni's Jay Som song, you'd think it was planned or something. Listen with us as we once again talk about music, love, and crepuscular creatures.
This week we're feeling Rostam's sad-but-sweet song, "Half-Light" and HAIM's sassy rocker, "Little of Your Love."
Laura has two songs about the importance of taking a break, and Yoni shows everyone how to take a break. Join us in giggles over songs by Netherfriends and Geographer.
