Melancholy is this show’s theme. More precisely, how music moves me from feeling melancholy to feeling more upbeat. We all feel melancholy from time to time, for many different reasons. Lost or unrequited love, loss of a dream, even a rainy day. whatever the reason we have all been there.
When I feel melancholy I like to first live with it for a while, then listen to songs that sweep the melancholy away.
Just your basic mix of cover songs. Ska covers! Bluegrass covers! Metal covers! Punk covers!
