Episode 22: Feel-Good Songs

Travis Boots and Bryan Mosby join me to discuss polls on feel-good songs picked by the Live Wire private Facebook group. Starting with 200 feel-good songs, we’re now trying to see which songs make the group collectively feel good. On the surface, it seems light. But we still have a great discussion, debating the merits of Van Halen, sharing our personal experiences with some of these songs, and breaking down some songs to their bare bones. If you like to contemplate music from its construction to your experiences, you’ll love this episode. We discuss songs by Van Halen, Katrina & The Waves, Aesop Rock, The Beach Boys, Foo Fighters, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Byrds, Talking Heads, Nicki Minaj, David Lee Roth, Radiohead, Rush, Candi Staton, Lucy Dacus, and Drive-By Truckers.
