When one of our listeners wrote a song for his half-deaf girlfriend, Ntombi, our hearts exploded. So we asked Joburg: Have you ever written a song for someone you love?

What we got back was raw, romantic, sometimes hilarious, and deeply human. From breakup ballads to secret serenades, this episode is all about the music we make when words just aren't enough. Get ready for goosebumps, giggles, and maybe even a tear or two.
