Season 3 Finale: What 13 Conversations Taught Me About Music and Grief

This season began in grief. My father died on New Year's Day. A few weeks later I sat down with the first guest of Season 3 and asked him what music had taught him about being human. I listened the way you listen when the question is also yours. That's how every conversation this season went. Thirteen guests. Thirteen different answers. And underneath all of them — the same essential truth. Nobody came to music because it was easy. They came because something was hard. And music was the language they reached for when the other languages failed. This is the Season 3 finale. A solo reflection on what thirteen conversations taught me about music, grief, and the man who loved music more than almost anything else. Thank you for being here all season. Season 4 is coming. --- From the Studio This episode is part of Come Back To Earth, produced by Story House. We believe story is a tool for meaning-making, not just performance.
