The First 3 Seconds: Alternative & Indie Song Intros
Season 3
Episode 46
Published 16 hours ago
Description
Think about the last time a song stopped you in your tracks. Not the lyrics. Not the chorus. The first three seconds.
In this episode of The Language Room, Craig explores ten alternative and indie song intros, from The Smiths to The Stone Roses, and the English language hidden inside them: culture, history, nuance and vocabulary that sticks.
Songs include How Soon Is Now, Enjoy The Silence, A Forest, Where Is My Mind, Creep and The Killing Moon, plus five of Craig’s Cuts.
