This week Annie and Shadin catch you up on their most recent concerts, their newest bops (spoiler: Shadin is having a Hippo Campus moment), and break down the Lizzy McAlpine song Pancakes for Dinner. This one is tender, lovely, and the analysis comes at the perfect moment since her new album was just released this week! Check it out (the podcast episode AND the album).

Shadin and Annie are hoping to bring more eyes and ears to Julia Nunes with this episode which breaks down her song Not True. This one hits us straight through the heart, and we hope you can feel that same sweet, angsty pain as we discuss (what else is new) a song about the end of a relationship. Plus, don’t miss some new bops after a little bit of a hiatus, and us causally discussing soulmates. Wouldn’t be a Songs That Send Us episode without it feeling at least a little like a therapy session!

Today we bring you 80s energy bop talk, ANOTHER JoBros baby, a Lucy Dacus concert review, but mostly we talk about Deep End by Holly Humberstone -- a song about being there for loved ones when they're going through a tough time, even if you can't relate. P.S. If you got tickets to see Olivia Rodrigo with Holly Humberstone opening, just know we are infinitely jealous.

This week we talk about another song about love with a different view—the ever classic 505 by Arctic Monkeys. Known for their epic lyrics and potential ambiguity, Annie and Shadin take a deep dive into what this song is all about and why it is one of AM's most popular songs. A little unhinged, a few new bop talk recs, and a whole lot of tangents… you don’t want to miss this one.

We're backkkkkkk! In our first episode of 2022 we talk about how sometimes you just need to grow a garden to deal with life. That's the energy in Oom Sha La La -- it's messy and the lyrics feel silly but the song also feels like a breathe of fresh air. In other news, we eagerly await the Jonas Brothers fatherhood album now that they're all dads. Also shout out The Hockey Guys on TikTok for making trendy videos.

We send everyone off for the holiday season in the only way Songs That Send Us knows how: an indie winter classic. With limited lyrics and an ever-changing musical undercurrent, White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes has become one of their most notable songs and a favorite for this time of the year. Featuring some new tunes as well, this episode is perfect to hold you over for the holiday season!
What could be as lonely as love? This week Annie and Shadin discuss a lesser known Amber Run song all about the sometimes isolating, terrifying side of love. (A callback to our discussions on Avoidant Attachment style, anyone??) Despite the subject matter, this one is an absolute VIBE. We also touch briefly on some new bops and announce a seasonal (indie) classic for next week.

TikTok really is the new age of music distribution and Sam Fender's Seventeen Going Under is an example of that. Sam's song became popular because of a TikTok trend created by survivors of abuse. It's an upbeat song that is highly autobiographical and honest, touching on being young man and overwhelmed by your emotions. Plus, we talk Red (Taylor's Version) and why Josh Hutcherson is 10/10 gonna be the next person to star in one of her music videos.

It’s officially Fall, which means we are going to be listening to moody, emotional songs 24/7 (cough cough James Vincent McMorrow’s new album). This episode features Shadin being disappointed in Annie's lack of respect for Big Tex and we talk about Annie’s most played Spotify song: Dirty AF1s by Alexander 23. Both Annie and Shadin are huge fans of the rhythm and lyrics in this song — it is the perfect song to have on a loop.

If you’re in need of a serotonin kick, today’s episode will be just that — we’re talking all about the music in Mamma Mia (the movie) which we can’t do without talking about ABBA. We're such big fans of the music and movies (Lily James CARRIES the second movie), Annie even helped choreograph an ABBA wedding dance number. Basically you're guaranteed to want to sing along to one of the songs in the movies.

Today we bring you one of the most chaotic episodes yet. Basically 40 minutes of us obsessing over Olivia Rodrigo and the masterpiece that is her debut album, Sour. The main song we talk about is the song that started it all: Driver's License. Join us as we talk fun Olivia-centric tweets and ask the important questions like "is Olivia Rodrigo a mini Taylor Swift?"

It's about time we talk about one of our favorite humble Irish artists, who also happens to be one of the most poetic lyricists: Dermot Kennedy. Dermot aka Dreamy always sings with raw emotion, most of his songs ~send~ us but this week Songs That Send Us is focusing on Young & Free. We talk what lyrics we'd get tattooed on us, reading music and Shadin continues to be jealous of the concerts Annie has been to.

Boygenius: 3 amazingly talented indie rock female artists that we know and love. Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. A collaboration we didn't know we needed before 2018. This week we talk all about their song Bite the Hand, the sometimes weird relationships artists have with their fans and Annie's love of Temptation Island.

Is any good late night playlist complete without Space Song? The only correct answer is no.
This ep we gush about how great the Summerfest lineup is (yay for the return of live music), but more importantly how hypnotic Beach House songs are and why Space Song makes us feel so tender. We dare you to listen with your eyes closed and not feel like you're floating.

Have you ever heard of your name on a grain of rice? Spoiler, Shadin hasn’t but Annie has. For this episode, Annie picked perhaps the most "underground" song we've talked about yet. Ur Name on a Grain of Rice is an indie/alternative ballad that raises the question of whether it's better to be vulnerable and speak your truth, or move on.
P.s. yes, there are 3 n's in Runnner, that's not a typo.

Did you even go to a liberal arts school if you didn't have at least one breakdown to Mitski's Nobody?
Mitski is an Indie/Alternative queen known for her hard-hitting lyrics. Nobody slaps so it is no surprise that it is permanently in Annie and Shadin's rotation.
In the words of Mitski: Be the Cowboy.
