It's simple, we find songs that have historical context within the lyrics and then dissect those lyrics on the show. Whether it's a song about a ship that sank in the Great Lakes or an ancient folk song about Mongolian sky gods, we will explore it's historical context. But more importantly, we will dig into what the songwriter was trying to communicate and why.
