Andrew was used to surfing the radio airwaves to find great music. He and his brother loved having a radio in their bedroom. So naturally, in '94, when his family moved from Michigan to Rochester, NY, he wanted to see what new stations he could tune into. He came across WBER and his life was changed. He heard "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley! He couldn't wait till it came on the radio again so he could share it with his younger brother. Eventually, he was able to record it onto a mix tape and share it with his new friends.

How does a girl from North Dakota get addicted to EDM? And who says how old a memory has to be to qualify for this podcast?
When I reached out to Kay to set up our interview this is what she had to say about her selection for this episode "Steve is my favorite EDM DJ and producer. He is from Germany and creates progressive house, trance and euphoric tracks." In the midst of starting her new career, she commented on social media to Steve about his music, and would you believe, he replied? This song has such a positive beat and restores Kay's hope for love, humanity, and that you can heal from heartbreak.
It was Basement Jaxx, Calvin Harris, and Skrillex that first caught her ear. In 2013, she feels like EDM helped her to find herself again and it seems as though EDM is working in Kay's life to do the same thing now!

In three short years my guest today, John Kimble, went from robbing homes, committing felonies and doing drugs to understanding how to positively motivate himself and others. He remembers this song because the crowd he was surrounding himself, is who introduced him to it. At that time he loved the vibe it gave off. It was like a hype song for them before they misbehaved. But now? Now?
Let's just say his dad wasn't happy with what John had been up to so he was punished with early wake-ups and going to work with his dad. John can see this as his father's love now and appreciates what he did for John. John considers Wess Watson his mentor. "Once you are aligned on that path and you're listening to someone else who is on that path, it's collective conscience."
I was so blown away by the wisdom this Eighteen-Year-Old shared that I wrote down SEVENTEEN quotes. Just good advice for me to continue to reflect on. John said, "Age is in wisdom not in numbers." And he is proof of that!

Did you know originally only a 5:29 min version was released of All Too Well? But long-time Swifie fans like Priscilla Brooke knew there was a longer version. She hung in there and sure enough Taylor Swift released the full version...NINE years later!
And this was the version Priscilla chose to share memories about. This long version is much like the long time she's been a fan as she and Taylor "grew up together." All Too Well is on the Red album released in 2012, which of course Priscilla rushed to the store to buy along with a fabulous tube of red lipstick!
But what she really remembers is her senior year at UNF here in Jacksonville, FL. Listen as she shares and explains what this song means to her and the memories her mind is filled with when it comes on unexpectedly these days.

This is the first band, Talking Heads, that Rob Kassees remembers claiming as his. And this is one of the first songs, This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody), that Rob remembers standing out to him. Remember back in the day there wasn't instant access to your favorite songs. He liked getting the greatest hits of bands so he could really see what they were like. Soon he and his core group of friends were hooked on Talking Heads too. They all loved the artistic music style as well as their videos on MTV. Talking Heads were really taking advantage of the new platform. Do you remember seeing Talking Heads on MTV?
Listen as Rob explains that time in his life as well as him and his buddies reconnecing in California, forming a band, longing for is wife while listening to this song far away from home, and his current podcast where he got to dissect this song with his buddies.

"Our friendship will never die..." I can see Ashely Bagni and her friends singing this song in her '89 Toyota Camry in high school. If you don't know the song it's "You've Got a Friend In Me" from the movie Toy Story. Ashley had the fortune of being friends with the same people in high school that she had in elementary school. How cool is that? They played on the high school basketball team and loved this song in the movie Toy Story as well as the movie. But once they got cars...they were playing this song a lot. When this song comes on she's reminded of a carefree time of life without so many responsibilities yet.
Ashley connects with this song in a second season of her life. She's stayed in touch specifically with one of those friends. They both have children about the same age and shared Toy Story with them. Hear Ashley explain the relationship she has with her son EJ now and what EJ loves about this song. If you are a parent I'm sure you too resonate with the line "There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you." like Ashley does.

Who loves Christmas Music? Nicole loves Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas because she experienced a similar move as the little girl in this movie.

What song does a successful female CEO resonate with? Yep, "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton. This is a movie Lisa Woodruff, CEO of Organize 365, saw when she was younger and it imprinted the idea of a successful woman on Wall Street working 9 to 5. And, yes, we reminisced over some of those classic 80's movies. But as she became a teacher and then a mom, she realized a couple of things. Women work way more than just 9 to 5. And sometimes you work your 9 to 5 so you can go home to work on your true passion, that thing you are uniquely created to do. She has slowly been developing and refining her business and systems to now offer Organize 365 to other hard-working women so that they can calm the overwhelm. You gotta hear everything she had to say about this song relating to her business and life. She shared a ton of realizations and inspiration you just may need to hear.
Lisa has been growing her business over the last 12 years and identified 3 seasons of 9 to 5 and what each one looked like. Within Organize 365, Lisa has offered an impactful conference, if you will, called Embrace. Embrace is an opportunity for women to self-reflect and discover what they are uniquely created to do in this long life as we discussed. Lisa used this song at Embrace. Just like Dolly Parton, she's successful, driven, down to earth, doesn't take herself too seriously, and offers a lot of grace to women through her business and podcast.

When you can't understand the words...do they matter? I tend to think yes! Paul Wallash loves music where the "singer" is screaming the lyrics. What he really loves is the energy it creates. Nothing was better than the first time he got to hear this song, "Southeast First" by Hot Water, live. The band is so good at building excitement and then it's a bunch of Pos-A-Rock fans jamming out!
Paul remembers being much cooler than his older brother who he originally took the CD from. Paul and his older brother's friend, Neil, would chat music and knew he was not nearly cool enough to be listening to Hot Water. Thus growing his love for Hot Water and the positive messages of their music.

The dreaded "friend zone"...when you really like someone and they like you too, but they are unsure or too afraid the friendship will change, they "friend zone" you. I mean sometimes they just aren't into you and you are in the "friend zone", LOL! This song may be able to help you out. Or this song may be able to say what you want to say. Amani Roberts, a true hopeless romantic, my guest today, suggested that if you get the girl with this song...it'd be a pretty slick move to play it on your anniversaries too! He's smooth ladies!!
I talked to Amani about his song choice "Where Will You Go" by Babyface. Amani can remember being in high school when he hears this song. He can remember her name, his crew, the school dances, and even his childhood bedroom. Amani is a DJ so he was able to recall a lot of popular artists at the time he was in high school. He reminisced about all the different posters and record albums on the ceiling of his, in the attic.
Amani loved the B side of this album with all the slow songs. All those songs that make you feel. And now when he hears them he feels, he feels nostalgic. I'm sad to report no additional information about this song on Song Facts.

Which band did you think of when you saw the song name "Live and Let Die"? My guest Asher Laub, as a boy, loved the Guns N Roses version because it made him feel so "Bad A$$"! It's hard to sing the line melancholy after all. He remembers his cool friend Mark playing it and Asher wanted to listen to what Mark was listening to. They played pool, footballl, and you know all the games kids play. This song comes on and Asher is in his childhood yard (which he only moved 2 blocks from as an adult) and the gang is there playing ball.
Asher comes from a musical family. He can remember taking lessons at 3 but pictures prove it was more like 2 years old! But now, Asher is an electric violinist, composer, and dancer/performer. He tends to connect more to the Wings version. He appreciates, as a composer, the simplicity and complexity and how it appeals to a wide variety of people. He loves the inspirational message of "Work hard and be the best you can be." He also simply loves the way the song makes him feel... nostalgic. Can you relate?

We've all been in a relationship where we weren't our best selves. Lee Piatelli, my guest, is reminded of a relationship like that when he hears John Mayers "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room." This song really alludes to the end of a relationship. Sometimes we aren't ready to see that it's over. Have you ever hung on to a relationship you knew was ending?
Lee remembers both of them getting comfortable. He can look back now and see they were just going through the motions. Sometimes it's hard to leave comfortable! And that's why I always say a relationship is over before it's publicly over. We get stuck in safe and changing that can be scary. At some point, one person "calls it" and it's time to move on. The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes in relationships and not repeat them.
John Mayer puts so much emotion into his songs. Lee enjoys this song to evoke emotion or simply to feel emotion. He has quite an appreciation for it!! Lee pointed out that he has such a talented band supporting him, it's hard not to produce, and play live, amazing music. Lee knows a good band bc he is a singing drummer out of Nashville. You often can find him on Broadway playing with the likes of Nick DeLeo, and he's played in the past for artists like Ry Bradley and Derek St Holmes. Lee actually loves the live version of this song off of the live album "Where the Light Is." It was recorded in L.A., 2007 and released in 2008.

Be the change, that's how Gerard Longo feels about life and that is the message of the song Indigo by Dirty Heads. He appreciates this song encouraging you to go against the grain and do what makes you happy. Indigo the color stands for tranquility, harmony, confidence, and integrity. When you are working in alignment with your passions you experience tranquility and harmony. He has a company that does just that for talented people in the music industry.
Gerard is also happy to be an example to his nieces and nephews about being an entrepreneur with confidence and integrity. He hopes to be an example but also save them some hard lessons by going through them and finding better ways first!
He started with a blog in Pennsylvania about the local Indy music scene. Then he started a podcast about the music scene. And now, has now grown into a company with employees and they are getting ready to explore other markets.

Andy Frye likes to say this song, Steal My Sunshine is the perfect bookend to the 90's. When you live in Jersey, at the end of the school year everyone heads to Ocean City or Wild Wood. Andy kinda knew he wasn't going to get an invite to join friends. Steal My Sunshine lends to the idea of FOMO, Fear Of Missing Out. Andy did have FOMO as he and his family headed to Bermuda and his friends, he'd rather be with, headed to the shore!!
Andy is such a fan of music from the 90's that he wrote a book "90 Days in the 90's" where his fictional characters get to go to all kinds of bands. Andy's wish is to see some bands from the 90's that aren't around anymore and bands that he didn't get to see.

Nothing better, when you are an aspiring skateboarder, than listening to what the cool kids listen to, while they rip on their skateboards! Allen Halas chose to share his memories to a song called "Linoleum" by NOFX. Feel free to have a laugh on me when I introduced the band on this episode! LOL
This song was popular in the 90's, although Allen first heard it in 2000, and rightfully so with a similar sound to Green Day, The Offspring, and Rancid. This is one of their most popular songs. It was sung the loudest at a concert and their fastest song! They are celebrating 40 years as a band this year and going out with a bang by way of an epic tour.
Allen can remember he and Tom out skating any free moment they had. They build some not-so-sound ramps and tried to improve their skillz. They were neighbors and skating buddies for many years.
Allen has over 15 years in and around independent music, formerly as a producer, and eventually a writer and content creator. He feels punk rock always has and always will influence his life in some way!

Frank Ocean, does that name ring a bell? He's a songwriter, singer, and rapper. He got his start as a ghost writer and that's one of the many things my guest, Wes Harris, likes about Frank Ocean that he doesn't need the spotlight. AND he's the artist who sings White Ferrari. Wes is a big fan of Frank Ocean and you will be too after you hear this song. We feels like he can fly when this song hits the airwaves.
This is the perfect road trip song, White Ferrari, and Wes knows all about that. Wes was fortunate enough to enjoy a road trip, to Nashville, with his good friend. Along the way, they blared this music and enjoyed fresh air with the windows down. It reminds Wes of good times, has so much character and it's a timeless song.
Wes appreciates this song because it's like it's painting a picture with sound. He knows about all the complexity of mixing and composing a song like this because he too is a singer and composer. Wes has plenty of his own music that he uses to paint with sound. He explains his music as alternative cinematic.
