  • Hummm well interesting

    I enjoy the mix of different music artists. But Zane does rlly ramble on and on about their song meanings. I personally think people are more interested in the artists themselves rather than what you think their songs mean. The songs speak for themselves. 6/10

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

U2
Q: What was that time like now that you've been able to get back to the songs in the purest form? Thinking about the band beyond just the songs.
The Edge says the project centered on serving each song and making Bono's voice the centerpiece, allowing him to interpret lyrics in ways that were difficult in full-band arrangements.
U2
Q: How did you find yourself at this place where, Edge, the thrash quietened enough for you to feel like you could go home and relive your life in the very creative artistic sense?
The Edge says lockdown provided time and space to work on stripped-down versions of U2 songs without pressure or an obligation to release them.
Queens of the Stone Age
Q: How did accepting your mortality through illness affect the way you felt about your body, your life and your future?
Homme says illness pushed him to prioritize vulnerable, personally frightening subjects instead of shielding himself with anger. He describes letting go of the urge to protect everything tightly, finding greater calm, and focusing on family, friends, music and self-kindness.
Queens of the Stone Age
Q: Have you ever really truly felt comfortable up until this point, where you're actually okay in your own skin?
Homme says he spent much time alone, especially while touring, when the constant performance of nightly shows gave way to loneliness. Family life made the distance from home more difficult, while illness and other upheavals helped him prioritize what matters and become more accepting of himself.
Noah Kahan
Q: Have you ever done that? Have you taken things to help with your pain and help with your anxiety and your depression?
Kahan says he started taking Lexapro around the beginning of the album and was officially diagnosed with OCD. He says the medication quieted his inner dialogue and helped him feel worthy of being around and able to write.
