Chosen by my guest Shane, the theme this week is "songs that are not songs." That is, to put it another way, songs that do not follow the most popular song structure (like verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus, for example). This one was a fun one to put together (and I even learned a little bit about song structure along the way). Thank you for listening!
