Fall From Grace is a podcast about addiction recovery, rebuilding life after collapse, and finding purpose after losing everything.

In this bonus episode, Tony Bailey introduces a new series called Songs That Saved Me — conversations about the music that helped him heal, reflect, and reconnect with who he really is.

This episode explores the emotional impact of music, the universal desire to be loved, and how certain songs arrive at exactly the moment we need them most.

If you’ve ever had a song that helped you feel understood or helped you reconnect with yourself, this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the music that moves us most is the music that reminds us we’re worthy of love — including our own.

In this episode Tony shares the inspiration behind the Songs That Saved Me series and reflects on one of the songs that deeply resonated with him: “To Be Loved” by Tones and I.

Music has a way of reaching places words alone often cannot. The right song at the right time can bring clarity, comfort, and a reminder that we’re not alone in what we’re feeling.

Tony reflects on how music has helped him process different chapters of life — including recovery, personal growth, and the ongoing journey of rebuilding after rock bottom.

At the centre of this episode is a simple but powerful idea: many of us spend our lives searching for love, understanding, and acceptance, when sometimes the most important place that journey begins is within ourselves.

This episode marks the beginning of a new series exploring the songs that helped shape Tony’s healing journey and the role music can play in emotional recovery.

• emotional healing through music
