Ever listen to the words of songs? Like, really listen? We do, and we think everyone should.
Who's "we"? We is Daniel Maté (award-winning musical theatre lyricist, composer, co-author of the NYT bestselling "The Myth of Normal", so-called mental chiropractor) and Carice van Houten (Emmy-nominated as Melisandre from "Game of Thrones", also seen in "Dangerous Liaisons" on Starz, Paul Verhoeven's "Black Book", "Valkyrie").
We both love listening and talking about music and words, and we do it a LOT on this show. All eras, all genres, nothing off-limits. Plus a metric shit-tonne of free associating. So basically, it's a podcast about everything. Join us!

The Kids Are Alright (even if they're not)
In which Carice & Daniel explore the topic of youth from many different angles. Songs by Tom Waits, Janis Ian, The 1975, New Radicals, Wu-Tang Clan & Elbow prompt conversations about growing up, the brutal "truths" of social conditioning, the way generations think about their futures & the tendency to dismiss young people once we get old.

Daniel Loves Love. Who Knew? (💘 Day '23 part 2)

What's In Carice's Love Trunk? (💘 Day '23 part 1)
In which Carice digs into her obsessively deep well of love songs and comes up with some choice cuts from Nina Simone (covering Johnny Mathis), Dionne Warwick (singing a peppy little tune with lyrics by Hal David and music by the dearly departed legend Burt Bacharach), and a playful little duet by John Prine and Iris Dement— which then reminds Daniel of another classic "I-guess-I-love-you" duet from musical theatre history.
EPISODE NOTES:
"Wild Is The Wind" (lyrics by Ned Washington)
"I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (lyrics by Hal David)
"In Spite Of Ourselves" (lyrics by John Prine)
"Do You Love Me?" (lyrics by Sheldon Harnick)

Customer Reviews
Expert Lyrical Analysis
Daniel is a master at lyrical analysis, and Carice expertly deep dives into each lyric. Ultimately each balances the other in terms of their analyses and emotional journeys through a range of lyrics across genres. I love how the music is sampled and they skip around to many songs in a discussion of one. I can’t wait for more episodes.
