We’ve all heard them.

Songs from the 80s that feel simple.
 Catchy.
 Easy to sing along with.

But what if we didn’t really hear them the first time?

In this first episode of the Second Listen series, we go back and revisit four iconic songs that carry more weight than they let on. Songs that sound light on the surface, but reveal something deeper when you sit with them a little longer.

We’re talking about power disguised as pop, heartbreak hidden in melody, and meaning that only shows up when you’re actually listening.

Featuring:

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” – Tears for Fears
“Don’t Dream It’s Over” – Crowded House
 “And So It Goes” – Billy Joel
 “Life in a Northern Town” – The Dream Academy

Plus, we introduce a brand new cocktail for the episode:

The Sanctuary
Soft on the surface. Controlled underneath. Built with tension.

Because sometimes the songs you think you know…
 are the ones worth hearing again.
