Songs That Inspire Us

Music can be a wonderful source of entertainment for most people. However, it can also be much more than that. It can often lift us up when we need, or simply just want, a little something ‘extra’ in our days. In this episode of the Pop and Prose podcast, I was joined by my friend, writer Roland Denzel, and we talked about music that inspires each of us. Among the music we discussed are songs by artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra, Rocky Balboa (well, sort of), Lyle Lovett, Billy Ocean, and several others.I had a lot of fun chatting with Roland about these great songs. If you’re a music lover, you may enjoy our conversation too - so please join us!To learn more about Roland Denzel, including information about his books, please visit his great website here. You can also find him on Instagram and Facebook. To connect elsewhere with me, Buddy Gott, I spend most of my online time posting about music and other things on Bluesky. I can also be found on Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and my website. Links to all of them (plus a few other places) can be found here via my Linktree. P.S. - If you’d like to check out some of the music that Roland and I talked about during this episode, each of us made public playlists that are available on Spotify.
