To all you theorists out there, this man has got the analysis skills to take even the most simple sounding songs and reveal there deepest meanings. Listen to this, and watch his YouTube channel! You’re doing great Clifford! Also love the TØP

This podcast is a beautiful example of balanced, mindful analysis of popular music. It's exactly what it promises to be. It's very honest and focused without being harsh or close-minded. And frankly, it's very entertaining. Please, if you’re even consider listening to this podcast,...Read full review »

Been listening to Podcasts for years, and I ran across this one today. It’s absolutely amazing and gives some amazing interpretations of popular songs that may be harder to understand.

Pop song professor is one of my favorite people to listen to. He explains things so clearly and is open to changing his mind. Very interactive with his community. 6/5 stars.

Your breakdown of this song and the reveal of what probably is behind the text was most thoughtful and answered questions I had about it based on the questionable uses I've seen. Is it religious? Well I believe in the fluidity of the Presence of the Creator and his presence in the mesh of...Read full review »

I love love love your twenty one pilots breakdowns! They’re my favorites! Also thanks for being glad to have an open discussion. It’s amazing. Also I love that you play the song as you talk about the lyrics and I’d love longer podcasts (from the Hallelujah episode!) Keep it up man!

This is a great way to analyse English language and could perfectly be used in a classroom. Great job!

I just happened to hear an old episode in July about FTP’s Sit Next to Me. One of my favorite bands of all time so I was interested to hear his take on the song. Am I crazy or did he get the lyrics wrong in a couple spots? I believe the line is symptoms of the culture (not cloture) and you wanna...Read full review »

As a person who loves music and especially the lyrics this is amazing. I've seen so many theories about what certain songs mean but this guy is an ACTUAL ENGLISH PROFESSOR using his knowledge to explain songs by my favorite artists and bands. His explanations have made me appreciate the...Read full review »
An emotional mess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/17
I was a 13 year old boy and just beginning to self identify as gay when this song first hit the charts in 1975. From the very first time I heard it as a teenager I knew it was meaningful. Much deeper than I could decipher at the time. I was drawn to this song somehow. I searched high and low to...Read full review »

Listenend to the discussion on Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill and loved it, especially as I'm an expt Englishman living in Texas. And yes, we do drive at 90 miles per hour down old country lanes when we get the opportunity which is less frequent now than it was in my youth.Read full review »

Clifford goes very in-depth about all the songs he does and is always happy to interact with his audience, which is great and lots of fun to hear. Only found the podcast a few weeks ago, but it's already a part of my life almost daily.

This podcast has helped me understand songs on a whole new level. I love Clifford Stumme's explanations, which are detailed, thoughtful, and smart. Every Twenty Øne Piløts fan should listen to this, as the analysis(es) of TØP songs are incredibly deep! The episodes covering entire albums are...Read full review »

It's very hard to explain what's so great about this podcast, but give it a listen, and I doubt you'll regret it. P. S. Do more Twenty One Pilots songs! |-/Read full review »

I am definitely a TØP fan, and b/c of that I found Clifford's website and YouTube channel, which lead me here. So many of the things that he points out about these songs (and about other artists as well) are true things that may be overlooked without listening closely. Definitely my fav podcastRead full review »

My thing is, what's the point of listening to pointless music? I like my music to have some depth. That's one reason I love Twenty One Pilots - it requires a lot of thought to decipher. But I'm no genius, and this Clifford guy helps a lot. Of course he doesn't just cover TØP...Read full review »

I love this so much omg! I stumbled upon his YouTube channel first when I wanted to find an explanation for a TØP song and I was so thrilled to find there was a channel dedicated to explaining song lyrics!
