Lonely to Lost (Song Meanings)


Listen Later

Welcome to Creative Connections — where we join the dots between songwriter meanings, across the decades, and spin them into a new narrative.

Today’s episode is “Lonely to Lost” and it's slightly different: one song per decade, from the sixties through to the twenties, to see how the centre of gravity shifts — what songwriters choose to point at, and what they need a song to do.
