Precisely how songs resonate in memory - the pictures both on & off cover, the places where heard, the people with whom, the way the sun shone on the day, sights on inner landscapes, smells of what we were smoking, tastes of what eating, yearnings & desires - all the synaesthetic qualities.

Goodness, what synchronicity. I look forward to listening. And to the previous episode which I just glimpsed is about Court & Spark...!

Synchronicity indeed! Thanks in advance for listening! Sophie and Kendall were both amazing guests.

Listened to both and very much enjoyed. One thing I find so incredible about Natural Woman is that the lyrics were written by her ex Gerry Goffin... now that's a co-write! Also one tidbit about Court & Spark is that the Jack mentioned in People's Parties is Jack Nicholson! Anyway... on to The Roches episode!

Hola , Me Encanto. Me Gusto Especialmente Esta Estrofa: pero sí recordaré cómo me distraje por un rato preguntándome qué había en él que me hacía sentir como si nunca antes hubiera escuchado música, nacida de nuevo, una maldita mujer natural.
