It's time for episode 2!

Join us as we put 2 songs chosen by Kelly under the microscope in order to examine how and why she has such a strong emotional relationship with them.

We start by breaking down the musical elements of each song and then we dive into the wonderful world of music psychology in an attempt to explain the hold that these two songs have over Kelly's heart strings.

Also, you'll be introduced to the work of Lauren's favourite music psychologist ever, the legend that is David Huron.
