The Universal Love Affair: We Love Music (Featuring Jasper Smith)

The Seeds You Sow

Since relationships are the theme for the month of February, we decided to highlight the universal love affair that everyone has experienced -- the relationship we all have with music. Music can define our mood, speak to our spirit, and even tell the story of our lives. In this episode we took the time to think about how music has influenced us over the years by sharing specific songs and albums that relate to our experiences thus far in life. Some of the artists we featured in this episode were: Roy Ayers, ​Common,​ Big Tymers, The Mississippi Mass Choir, & Mary J. Blige, just to name a few. We answered several questions, from reflective ones such as “name a song or album that got you through a difficult time in life”, to intimate questions, such as “name a song or album that reminds you of the first time you fell in love.” We discussed how certain songs and even whole albums have helped us push through difficult times, and how other records have helped us celebrate the good times. Through this episode, we conveyed that music is an outlet that allows us to connect and express the varied emotions we experience. Musics like a partner or a good friend; one who offers comfort and inspiration, and reminds us that we are not alone as we go through this drama we call life.
