#6 - Eldon Smith, How To Love

In this final episode of Season 1 of Backtrack, Eldon shares a story about longing, clarity, and the hidden cost of loving someone who may not be ready to receive what you’re offering. It’s a quiet moment that becomes a turning point, when a song heard during a storm, married to a simple question, reveals a truth the heart can’t avoid forever.After you hear the live performance, you'll listen to portions of an interview with Eldon where he explores how storytelling has shaped his life, from porch tales in the South to the powerful community he found on The Moth stage. He also talks about his project, Wealth In Wisdom, which focuses on recording the stories of elders before they’re lost forever. Eldon believes listening to each other can be one of the deepest, most meaningful forms of love we can share. We agree 100%!Want to see the full performance and interview?
