The Secret Life of Songs

The Secret Life of Songs

by

‘The Secret Life of Songs’ is a new podcast series exploring ten classic pop recordings to get to the heart of why they mean so much to us. I’m a musician who writes and performs under the name ‘sky coloured’ and in each episode, I’ll discuss and perform a different classic pop song, from Sam Cooke, to the Beach Boys, to Tina Turner, and more. It’s intended to be an insight into how these amazing songs work, from a songwriter’s perspective, as well as a personal interpretation of what they might have to say to us. Winner of Bronze in ‘Best Arts & Culture Podcast’ at the British Podcast Awards 2021.
