We are back with our second Songs That Send Us: After Dark Edition episode! It's a special episode since we are celebrating *roughly* one year of doing this podcast. Listen in as we answer listener questions, talk recent bops and reminisce about the past year. Thanks for being on this ride with us! 

This week Annie and Shadin catch you up on their most recent concerts, their newest bops (spoiler: Shadin is having a Hippo Campus moment), and break down the Lizzy McAlpine song Pancakes for Dinner. This one is tender, lovely, and the analysis comes at the perfect moment since her new album was just released this week! Check it out (the podcast episode AND the album).

One of the most iconic artists (at least Annie would say so) recently dropped a song that makes us feel POWERFUL. Today, we bring you an episode all about King by Florence + The Machine. We also fangirl about Julia Nunes listening to our last episode and our upcoming concerts! But really, this ep is all about how women should be able to have it all. Catch us using "I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king" in every conversation.  

Shadin and Annie are hoping to bring more eyes and ears to Julia Nunes with this episode which breaks down her song Not True. This one hits us straight through the heart, and we hope you can feel that same sweet, angsty pain as we discuss (what else is new) a song about the end of a relationship. Plus, don’t miss some new bops after a little bit of a hiatus, and us causally discussing soulmates. Wouldn’t be a Songs That Send Us episode without it feeling at least a little like a therapy session!

Today we bring you 80s energy bop talk, ANOTHER JoBros baby, a Lucy Dacus concert review, but mostly we talk about Deep End by Holly Humberstone -- a song about being there for loved ones when they're going through a tough time, even if you can't relate. P.S. If you got tickets to see Olivia Rodrigo with Holly Humberstone opening, just know we are infinitely jealous.  WHERE TO FIND US Twitter: @songsthatsendus  Instagram: @songsthatsendus  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/uugdzghxrjensh1j7w2b9slgh?si=Q7nOvSAnTEepndxf2HSVrA

This week we talk about another song about love with a different view—the ever classic 505 by Arctic Monkeys. Known for their epic lyrics and potential ambiguity, Annie and Shadin take a deep dive into what this song is all about and why it is one of AM's most popular songs. A little unhinged, a few new bop talk recs, and a whole lot of tangents… you don’t want to miss this one.

We're backkkkkkk! In our first episode of 2022 we talk about how sometimes you just need to grow a garden to deal with life. That's the energy in Oom Sha La La -- it's messy and the lyrics feel silly but the song also feels like a breathe of fresh air. In other news, we eagerly await the Jonas Brothers fatherhood album now that they're all dads. Also shout out The Hockey Guys on TikTok for making trendy videos.  WHERE TO FIND US Twitter: @songsthatsendus  Instagram: @songsthatsendus  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/uugdzghxrjensh1j7w2b9slgh?si=Q7nOvSAnTEepndxf2HSVrA

We send everyone off for the holiday season in the only way Songs That Send Us knows how: an indie winter classic. With limited lyrics and an ever-changing musical undercurrent, White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes has become one of their most notable songs and a favorite for this time of the year. Featuring some new tunes as well, this episode is perfect to hold you over for the holiday season!

What could be as lonely as love? This week Annie and Shadin discuss a lesser known Amber Run song all about the sometimes isolating, terrifying side of love. (A callback to our discussions on Avoidant Attachment style, anyone??) Despite the subject matter, this one is an absolute VIBE. We also touch briefly on some new bops and announce a seasonal (indie) classic for next week.

TikTok really is the new age of music distribution and Sam Fender's Seventeen Going Under is an example of that. Sam's song became popular because of a TikTok trend created by survivors of abuse. It's an upbeat song that is highly autobiographical and honest, touching on being young man and overwhelmed by your emotions. Plus, we talk Red (Taylor's Version) and why Josh Hutcherson is 10/10 gonna be the next person to star in one of her music videos.  WHERE TO FIND US Twitter: @songsthatsendus  Instagram: @songsthatsendus  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/uugdzghxrjensh1j7w2b9slgh?si=Q7nOvSAnTEepndxf2HSVrA
