Song Exploder - Mind Blown

“While watching the episode, “Losing My Religion,” I was thrown back to a time in LA when my acting and musician friends and I would share some real, raw kind of stuff and this song was a major force behind my soul-searching. It helped me find my voice and lose my spotlight.
What’s key is that each musician has a clear voice and perspective on the making of that song which Hrishikesh plumbs from them with a deft hand and true believer’s ear. You trust him with this piece of music. It feels safe in the hands of a host like this because it isn’t sacred to him. It’s worth it. Worth exploring because it is so confounding to believe in and because of the impact it had had on so many over the years. So many like me, who had been denied by decisions and circumstances to be a part of what could conceivably be termed a zeitgeist in new rock’s expression of what it believed in. And, when you find the voice within to parry with such a great one as Stipe, even if it’s sequestered only in your shower, it feels true what he must be going through. The interview allows him the space to be as vulnerable as he needs, and Stipe seems to relive moments. Those moments, especially to someone who was in a daze and confused state of mind in the early nineties, are sacred.
Whatever you believe, the song is elegantly dissected and we are, along with the band - which is so crucial to the success of this show - exposed to the raw delight and gifted with the freedom to ponder the de-mystified wonder that is the song du jour.”

“This is a brilliant approach to exploring songs. I love hearing artists tell stories about their own music, and react to hearing it in pieces. It was great to hear YACHT say that their drum sound was disappointing when isolated. Hearing The Album Leaf walk down memory lane when listening to...”Read full review »
