In this episode of Listening to Lyrics, we sit with a song about one of humanity’s oldest instincts: dividing the world into “us” and “them.” What once kept small tribes alive now shapes modern conflict in ways we rarely examine. Rather than arguing or assigning blame, the song simply notices the pattern—and gently asks what might change if we widened the circle again.

Us and Them

Listening to Lyrics is a podcast built around original songs and the inner questions that shaped them. Each episode explores a theme through one or more songs, beginning with a spoken reflection that listens closely to the lyrics as text—where they came from, what they were trying to hold, and what they may still be saying. The music is then played in full within the episode, followed by a quiet closing reflection. This is not a podcast about analysis or performance. It’s an invitation to listen more carefully—to words, to music, and to the lived experience they carry.
