With their song Reveries, Vianney of Apart talks about how making difficult choices can be the key to living life on your own terms, rather than just being a spectator of it.

With Soot Sprite’s song Days After Days, he talks about why kindness and softness are the only way forward for him, and his journey towards embracing vulnerability.

We also talk about some of our favourite emo bands.

Joe from Not End takes me through their latest EP propaganda, a concept record about manipulation, consumerism and the ways propaganda shapes the world around us. We dive into the stories and ideas behind the lyrics, including the frustration of feeling stuck on repeat and what are the ways to get out of it.

In the second part, we talk about life as a musician: the pressure to impress others, the daily grind, authenticity, and the increasingly blurred line between being a musician and being a content creator. We also talk about music as a way to find your compass, create community, and connect with people on a deeper level.

If you're listening to it on the day of the release, everyone say Happy Birthday Emily in the comments!

Emily of Letters Sent Home talks about her song September 29, date of her birthday, but which is actually about grief. We then talk about Letters Sent Home's Elements, and how most of humanity is in denial of what is happening to the earth right now. And we finish with Sofia Isella's The Doll People, about what it is being a woman, misogyny and feminism and identity.
