This week we’re throwing it back to talk about Norah Jones and Sunrise, the song that won her the 2005 Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy. Y'all aren't ready for the unique bops we bring you this episode, plus Annie explains why she is the coolest TA around (give her class’s eclectic playlist a listen) and why this is the perfect chill song to play while doing ANYTHING. P.S., how bad are our British accents? Be honest.

Annie and Shadin are big Sophie Turner fans, so we HAD to do an episode on Joe's love song for Sophie, Hesitate. Hesitate is full of personal lyrics and lets Joe's voice shine. We also talk bops that have been getting us through life changes -- new jobs and grad school -- and why Harry Styles on the Calm app is the best collaboration ever. Fair warning, this episode contains some casual Nick Jonas shade.

One of The National's most popular hits, About Today is one of those "stop what you're doing and listen" songs. The slow instrumentals coupled with deep, melancholy vocals and simple lyrics create a song that will make you FEEL. Annie feels very strongly about the use of this song in the movie Warrior, which is high praise on its own.

Indie king Bon Iver is easily one of our favorite artists (it’s basically a law in Wisconsin that you have to like him). Holocene is one of Bon Iver’s most popular songs for a reason — this  episode we try to tackle why it’s such a staple, plus we hit you with some Billie Eilish hot takes.

If you’re in need of a serotonin kick, today’s episode will be just that — we’re talking all about the music in Mamma Mia (the movie) which we can’t do without talking about ABBA. We're such big fans of the music and movies (Lily James CARRIES the second movie), Annie even helped choreograph an ABBA wedding dance number. Basically you're guaranteed to want to sing along to one of the songs in the movies.

We’ve all had crushes before. There will be scents that make us think of them and our crush is always on our minds. Dodie's song She talks about the tender feelings associated with having a crush on another girl. She had her start as a YouTuber and we wanted to spotlight her on the heels of pride month.

An anthem for the The Hunger Games or a social commentary about celebrities? We discuss all that and more in today's episode centered around Glory & Gore by Lorde. A less talked about Lorde song, Glory & Gore is dark and riveting and full of the expressive lyrics Lorde is known for. Listen to find out why we think Glory & Gore is the perfect dystopian song!

Shadin and Annie seem to think they are therapists in this one. Songs That Send Us are big fans of Elena Tonra's melancholy songs and deeply personal lyrics -- in both her solo project Ex:Re and the band she fronts, Daughter -- so we wanted to take a look at a song that was a big part of the indie scene in the 2010's. Let's manifest Daughter returning from hiatus soon.

Join us as we talk fun Olivia-centric tweets and ask the important questions like "is Olivia Rodrigo a mini Taylor Swift?"
