Hey—it’s Jordan. This episode is a little different. I’m starting a new segment called Help Me Understand, and I’m kicking it off with something I’ve never really “got”: music.
I’ve always felt a little disconnected from music. I didn’t grow up obsessed with bands or genres, and to be honest, I used to fake it just to fit in. But with a massive music festival coming to my hometown soon, I want to finally figure out what makes music so powerful for other people—and hopefully, for me too.
If you’re a musician, a music lover, or just someone who’s ever felt seen by a song, I’d love for you to come on this journey with me. Let’s explore what music really means, how it brings people together, and why it has the power to move us.
