Belonging Songs

This week's song is about mathematics. Wait, hold on, don't leave! It's only used as an analogy toward human life and experience. Seriously, it won't be boring, but yes, this will be on the test, and you will have to flip this episode over when you are finished, and sit quietly until everyone is through.

Get ready BSrs, because today our host Patrick brings his first song to the podcast! Tune in to hear about, and join in on the journey he and the guys take while crafting this song, and believe me, it's a long journey, so much so that we've split it into two episodes! So sit back, relax, and get ready to Belonging Song around with us in this, our first ever part one, of a two part episod...

This week we bring you a different sort episode. If you are a new listener, please be advised that this is not the format our show typically follows. Because of the global pandemic, our recording schedule and routine has become muddled. Our episode arcs usually take months to record, which makes it hard for us to talk about current events, so this week we are listening to some recordings that had...

This week we listen to, and revamp a song that was left for dead. Sometimes you need an outside perspective to push you into finishing something you may have given up on, and that's exactly what happened with this song. It's a good lesson to learn, and makes for a fun comparison of the before and after versions of this recording. Send us a message! bs@belongingsongs.com Visit our website...

This week we listen to a song by Brad that helped set us on the journey of producing each others tracks, and ultimately led to the creation of this podcast; it may be the first instance of the actual "producing" of another artist by Wade. Hear how we learned to better accept and utilize feedback and critique of our art, as we look back on some of the mistakes we made as young musicians,...

IT'S TIME FOR BED! That's right BS'rs, this song is about being tired, more specifically, it's about being sick and tired of a long, rough day, and just wanting to be home, in pajamas, and heading to bed. We've all been there, and now we all have a theme song to celebrate that moment where we can shrug off the troubles of the day, curl up, and rest a while. Send us a messa...

IT'S A TRAP! No, this isn't an episode about everyone's favorite Mon Calamari, instead it's based on a new song by Brad about a dirty scam. It's dark and gritty, probably rainy, and there's definitely some creep calling from a phone booth. DON'T LET YOUR GRANDMA ANSWER THAT CALL! Seriously though, the IRS hired us to say that they require every BSr listening to w...

ALARM! This week brings you a song about what might run through your head while facing  impending doom, but don't worry, that threat turns out to be a mistake; no one was harmed in the making of this song. Tune in to hear a song by Brad take on a whole new dynamic with the addition of a new voice, in this full-on, duet edition, of brand spanking new BS! Send us a message! bs@belongingsongs.co...

This week's episode features a song by our host Wade, and is all about having to do things most people love, but he doesn't. We also visit a revamped bonus song called Job Brigade, which reminds us that "life is hard when you don't make the money". Everything is terrible (but in the most fun way)!

This week we listen to a couple of collaborative recordings from Brad and Wade. The featured track "Every Day" was made using a found tape loop, and the bonus track just really wants to dance.

This week's episode features a song that explores a specific major life choice most all of us are confronted with. We discuss how an artist must decide who their target audience is, and how that affects the songwriting process, and we see, in practice, how those talks lead to some heavy changes to a recording.

Welcome back BS'rs! This week Brad brings us a demo, but there's a catch; the original files have been lost to time, so he has to completely re-record the song from scratch, which makes for a super fun demo-to-done comparison. Please join us as he takes us through the process of trying to recapture the vibe of the original, while, at the same time, improving on the overall quality of the...

This week's song is by our host Wade, and it's about getting drunk, and the consequences that may accompany the choice to do so. Often in life, you pay for what you get, and that's not always a good thing.

This week features a real pick-me-up of a song by Harnol Slin (Wade Dana) about depression, and feeling worthless. It'll be a gas! Plus, a bonus song to lighten things up, and an example of 3 grown men (sort of) not being able to pull it together after a record scratch moment.  Send us a message! bs@belongingsongs.com Visit our website! www.belongingsongs.com Check out our Instagram! https://...
