On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ryan Sawyer! His new album, “For Those Who Wish to Sing Will Always Find a Song,” has a bit of a hold on me. It’s one of my favorite albums of 2025. After talking through some of the concepts and the framework behind it, we get into incredible Daniel Johnson lore, unexpecte,d meanings in Johnny Cash songs, Dylan in the tropics, Ornette Coleman, Funkadelic, Wendy Eisenberg, Girly Girl Productions, Bernice, and so much more!
