Speaker 1 (00:00):
Holy Human with Liane Rhymes is a production of I
Heart Radio. Hello, my friends, I am so excited to
announce the new season of Holy Human. That's Holy with
(00:20):
a W by the way, as a whole Holy Human
with me Leanne Rhymes. It's a podcast dedicated to helping
us all achieve a fuller sense of inner peace, healing,
and happiness individually and together. And I would love for
you to join me. Yet, since we finished the first season,
(01:01):
I have been missing you. I know you've been missing
me too, because you've all been telling me. So we
have been wanting to figure out ways to connect when
it's not just a full podcast. So the first one
we're going to start out with is my Holy Five.
I ask all my friends and my podcast guests that
come on what their Holy five favorite songs are, and
(01:25):
I realized I had not shared mine. By the way,
this is much harder. I have so many songs that
I could talk about. So this will probably roll out
over a period of time of my Holy five and
maybe a specific genre or a specific feeling. Oh I
like that, because I actually do think that my holy
five that I've chosen today have a specific feeling. I
(01:49):
seem to gravitate towards sad songs because well, there's multiple reasons.
Interestingly enough, I do think that sad is my go
to frequency of feeling because I I feel like, if
you really think about it, there is a place where
(02:10):
you actually live a lot of the time, and for me,
that's sadness. I grew up around a lot of sadness.
I think that sadness keeps me tied to my childhood,
and I think there's a hint of guilt that if
I grow past that, if I live in a different frequency,
(02:31):
that I'm neglecting or abandoning because I feel like I've
had to take care of everyone's feelings growing up. Um,
that's my codependent nature. So it's something new for me
that I've recognized is that sadness is my normal frequency
just in general, like when it comes to music, I
gravitate towards not only sad songs, but like more in
(02:53):
depth feeling story songs. The sad song frequency is something
that I've observed about myself. I actually like to get
lost in it. There's something comforting about it, and I
think sad songs do comfort people, especially in times of
of sadness. What's interesting is that I like to hang
(03:14):
out there often just going to sad songs or Bob Marley,
because there was such power in his lyric and such
sadness to a lot of his songs, though there's this
really happy groove, and the juxtaposition was genius. And I
find when I go to put on a record when
(03:36):
I want to feel good in like that space of
like it's Friday afternoon and it feels good, I put
on Bob Marley. To me, actually, Bob Marley is like
the most genius uh connection of the two. How long
shady prophets what we stand aside? And look, we all
(03:56):
have lived in a world where we've been more comfortable
with chaos and pain and turmoil and or an outer
then we have with joy and peace and harmony. Maybe
my song selections in the future will reflect feeling more
comfortable in my peace and joy and harmony. But for now,
(04:21):
let's stick to some sad ships. The first song that
I'm going to say is probably if I always said
that if there was a song that could describe my life,
that it would be this song. And it's so sad
in Its Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen, which I have
done a cover of If It Be Shred Big, and
(04:55):
I did the cover for our radio show, and I
remember being in my knees say the song and then
like just bawling my eyes out. By the end of it.
I was praying to God that I can make it
through it, which I didn't, But that was actually kind
of the sweetness of the performance. But I just revisited
this song the other day, and there's a reason why
Secret Garden has been my favorite song which just could
describe my life. And it's this depth of loneliness that
(05:18):
I felt like there was always a piece of me
that even I had hidden the way from myself, because
if I hit it away then from my own self,
then truly no one would be able to get to
this piece of me and take it from me. For me.
With music, there's there seems to be layers to songs
like I'll Know Why, I know the loneliness that I
(05:39):
feel when I listened to this song the last lines
of um Cry talking about it, um the She's got
a secret Garden where everything you want and everything you
need will always stay a million miles away. That's sad,
that's sad, but that's why it's one of my Holy five.
(06:00):
Oh if we if so, if my guests took this
long describing every reason and why each of their songs
was important to them, we would never have any other podcast.
Um okay. Song number two is a song called Blower's
Daughter by Damien Rice. When this song came out, I
listened to it over and over and over again. I
(06:24):
still do. If it comes on, it's just like I
have to stop what I'm doing. It's like Secret Garden,
same thing. I stop what I'm doing and I have
to take in the song because it's that good. I
can't take my eyes. But I remember I was filming
(06:48):
a video what probably wouldn't be this way where I
had to cry through. It was an emotional video. I
would listen to this song before I would go do
a take. It was the one thing that always brought
me to that place where I just could emote. I
do remember at that time in my life kind of
knowing my marriage was over, and I think there's something
(07:10):
about that song that I tied into that feeling of
just knowing that something is over and that I felt
like I couldn't get out of it. And so whenever
I hear that song now, I actually do take a
moment and remember that feeling and remind myself, like how
far I've come since then? The sadness or the tears
(07:34):
that come now listening to that song are very different
tears than the tears that once were. Number three. Song
number three is a song called Promise by Ben Howard.
I love the song so much. Actually, to be honest,
I don't even know exactly what the song is about.
(07:57):
It's a feeling I get when I listened to the
record and his voice. To me, it really doesn't even
matter what he's saying in this song. It is. It's
the feeling that it brings up in me. There's something
about the divine feminine that it brings up in me
and I it's a song that I put on when
(08:18):
I want to move my body and feel. What happens
is there's a sensuality that comes up for me when
I moved to this song, and it's so uncomfortable. Movement
is something that's very uncomfortable for me. I think of
really lived outside of my body or in my head
for so long that any kind of sensuality and movement
(08:40):
is just challenging. But this song for me, something about Promise, Uh,
takes me to a place where I don't touch very
often in myself, and so it's not I don't even
I don't even know if it's necessarily sad, but I
do cry to it. Ah, I have to really go
(09:09):
look at that lyric. Number four is Joni Mitchell's Case
of You. First off, it's in the movie Practical Magic,
which I think is actually where I first heard it.
I think this reminds me of of Eddie, of being
that drunk on love with someone. I love singing it.
I cover it all the time, and the melody in
(09:30):
that song is just so stunning and lyrically too, but
for me melodically and the way that JOONI always so
effortlessly moved up a scale is stunning sweet. Okay, so
that would stupid beyond that. And for song number five, Um,
(09:57):
my latest discovery is this song called Heavenly f there
by Bonavire. His lyrics are so interesting to me because
I've I've actually heard him be like, oh the song
is really about nothing, just kind of sounded cool together. Um,
I actually went in Google like the lyric to the
song and I don't know if he's talking about his father,
(10:19):
but it actually reminds me also of I think he's
talking both. I think he's talking about Heavenly Father as
in God, and I think he's also talking about his
father who passed away. It's the best song, Adam. I
(10:46):
was never sure how much of you I could let
in like those lyrics. For me, it was about God
um And for me what it touches is growing up
in an organized religion and I own relationship and the
journey it's taken from not wanting to let in a
higher power to be in all about it, but the
(11:12):
true journey of that. And have I loved the last
line is Heavenly Father, all that you offers a safety
in the end. It's so good. It's such a good song.
So if you feel like crying today, please go put
on my Holy five wherever you're feeling, whatever you're feeling,
if you need a good cry, I think these songs
(11:32):
will help support you in your emoting. Thank you guys
for joining me just for this little tidbit of my
personal Holy five. And we'll get even more personal on
the second season of Holy Human, launching this July nine,
And I am so excited because I have so many
(11:54):
wonderful guests joining me, and I cannot wait to connect
you with all of them, So until then, I wish
you love Holy Human with Me. Leanne Rhymes is a
production of I Heart Radio. You'll find Holy Human with
Leanne Rhymes on the I Heart app Apple podcast, or
wherever you get the podcasts that matter most to you.
