On Episode 27 of Songs on the Couch, we dive into the haunting beauty of “Constant Craving” by k.d. lang. Together, we explore the history of k.d. lang, the creation of her biggest hit, and why this understated 90s classic still resonates so deeply today.

We break down the song’s minimalist musical structure, incredible vocal performance, and the psychological themes of longing, desire, emotional emptiness, and the constant human search for connection and fulfilment.

Along the way, we uncover fascinating tidbits about k.d. lang’s career, her influence on music and LGBTQ+ representation, her Patsy Cline inspirations, and how a song so quiet can hit so hard emotionally.

Funny, insightful, emotional, and educational - this is Songs on the Couch.

This week on Songs on the Couch, we dive headfirst into “Demolition Lovers” by My Chemical Romance - a dark, cinematic love story where romance and destruction go hand in hand.

Together, we explore what happens when two people become everything to each other… and whether that kind of connection is powerful, dangerous, or both.

It’s messy, dramatic, and just a little unhinged - in the best way.
