Stoneside’s Journey: Finding Passion, Purpose & Beauty while Inspired by Life’s Endings

It is human nature to fear death. Death is the ultimate end to life as we are aware of it. And because of that, along with human nature having us focus on the negative, we tend to miss out on many of the positives life has to offer.Music is one of those things we have that can help us relate to death to find the positivity in life. The melodies, the lyrics, the flow, help us all connect to the beatuy in life, when faced with the end. And that alone can inspire us.David and Matt from the band Stoneside join us on the Chord Progression Podcast today.
