About this episode
We celebrate spring and new beginnings with a perfect mix of songs for starting over. This can take many forms: songs that spark a good, cleansing cry; songs that offer wisdom, or just a sure-fire jolt of adrenaline. But in the end, all of the tracks can help reconfigure your mood, your day or even your life. <br/><br/>Host Robin Hilton is joined by NPR Music’s Noah Caldwell and Dora Levite.<br/><br/><strong>Featured artists and songs:</strong><br/><br/>(00:00) Intro<br/><br/>(02:05) Nina Simone: “Feelin’ Good” from <em>I Put a Spell on You</em><br/><br/>(06:02) Cassandra Jenkins: “Hard Drive” from <em>An Overview of Phenomenal Nature</em><br/><br/>(10:29) Cajmere: “Brighter Days” from <em>Brighter Days</em><br/><br/>(15:42) Beastie Boys: “Sabotage” from <em>Ill Communication</em><br/><br/>(18:54) Wednesday: “Reality TV Argument Bleeds” from <em>Bleeds</em><br/><br/>(22:43) Gregory Alan Isakov: “Second Chances” from <em>The Weatherman</em><br/><br/>(27:09) Bob Marley: “Three Little Birds” from <em>Exodus</em><br/><br/>(30:56) LCD Soundsystem: “Oh Baby” from <em>American Dream</em><br/><br/>(35:18) Ryuichi Sakamoto: “Zure” from <em>async</em><br/><br/>(41:02) Amy Shark: “Amy Shark” from <em>Cry Forever</em><br/><br/>(45:26) Sluice: “Beadie” from <em>Companion</em><br/><br/>(50:05) The Allman Brothers Band: “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More” from <em>Eat a Peach</em><br/><br/>Support the show with a review on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-songs-considered/id79687345"target="_blank" > Apple</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/10LYbliXlNZe1VStsTkcC0?si=bb536b16024d42d8"target="_blank" >Spotify</a>, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
