Listening Lyrics plays melencholy music, March 6, 2026

Sat, 03/07/2026 - 10:01am | Jim Buchanan

Musician in the rain with guitar.png

In this episode we talk about the triggers of a melencholy feeling in music. Sometimes music doesn’t make us sad, it reminds us that we have lived. A melody can carry a memory, and when that memory returns, so does the feeling attached to it. That’s the quiet power of music.
