Update: 2025-12-23
Description
Hook: A quiet Midwestern childhood, a dying father’s charge — and a line that became a life’s work: “Grief is only love that’s got no place to go.” Original: 3 hours · New: 6 minutes. In this condensed conversation, host Theo Von and guest Stephen Wilson Jr. trace how family, faith, and grief turned into songs that hold other people’s pain. Listen for vivid childhood scenes, Pentecostal revival memories, and the surprising way a food‑science background shaped Stephen’s songwriting process. You’ll learn songwriting as ritual and research, how nostalgia unlocks universal feeling, and why music can be a practical container for mourning. Topics include grief, songwriting, identity, memory, and culture. Hosts: Theo Von; Guest: Stephen Wilson Jr. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
