E. 27 - The Power of Music to Create Human Connection

Hello So Deep Peeps!  

Welcome to That’s So Deep.  This is the podcast where we try to root out loneliness one conversation at a time. Today we are talking about The Power of Music to Create Human Connection.

 Some deep things we cover:

1. Phyllis and Julie share how music was such a joyful part of their upbringing.
2. Phyllis and Julie love to dance! I see a virtual dance party in our future.
3. Music is Ancient: It is embedded in so many cultures and has been with us since the beginning of time.
4. Phyllis loves Encanto and Julie loves Moana: If you like these movies then we can be friends.  If you don’t then we need to talk.
5. Music is Amazing: It connects us to ourselves.  It connects us to others.  It’s a universal language. It’s infused in everything.  It helps you feel your feelings.  It’s powerful. It’s human.

Take-aways:

1. Let music be your medicine and companion.  If we are having trouble feeling our feelings, let’s have music help us.  Instead of scrolling through our phones, let’s find a song that can keep us company.
2. We want to hear from you!  What is your relationship with music?  What was music like in your household growing up?  What are your favorite songs?  What songs resonate with you now?  What songs capture high and low moments in your life?  What are the stories behind those songs?  Tell us your stories:
