What You Hear explores the quiet gap between intention and interpretation. Inspired by the idea that we are responsible for what we say—but not for how it is received—this episode reflects on communication, boundaries, and the unseen histories each listener brings into a room. The song sits with the limits of clarity, the weight of interpretation, and the discipline of speaking honestly without carrying what isn’t ours to carry.

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.
