Music That Made Us Podcast

29/01/2021

Until the podcast launchs I will be putting a "Daily Jam". These posts are just so you become familiar with me and the music that inspires and drives me!

Todays song is Search and Destroy by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Released in 2010. This song has been a favorite of mine for a while. Back in 2011, when I came across it, I was in a bad place. Struggling mentally and emotionally. I was going through a divorce and had moved with my family away from every thing I had thought my life would be. The lyric "sold my soul to heaven and to hell, sick as my secrets, but never gonna tell, love to blame, burden of my dreams, a curse of faith and a blessing a believe" really trigger me to think above my head. Everything that had brought me to that low point in my life really was a curse of fate. There were things I couldn't control in my life but I never took control of the things I could, that was the burden of my dreams. And because of my inability to be in control I "sold my soul" in a sense and lost the love of my life.

Listening to this song triggers those moments of pain but also allows me to see what I have now Remarried to the love of my life.

Music speaks to us and holds those moments in time for us. All we have to do is relisten for everything to become fresh and new.

Listen to the song with the link below and tell me how it affected you!

First let me introduce myself, My name is Ashley I'm 29 I live in PO DUNK Colorado, married with two kids and have found myself in the middle of a pandemic like so many other people. I've struggled all my life with mental health issues and have looked for a million different ways to cope. Music, to me, has helped more than any medication ever has. I've always been drawn to music, I don't have a singular style of music that I am drawn to, just anything that speaks to my soul. There has been certain songs in my life that have triggered me, pushed me, changed me, brought me forward. We all face life, tragedy, heartbreak, love, laughter, loss. My goal with this enrollment form is to find people (whom I may know or not) that are like me. We use music to cope. I am starting a podcast, that is all about you. Not just those who listen but those who want to just talk. My goal is to really connect with people, I will commit myself to understanding you and the music that made you...you. I am hoping to have heavy, real and emotional interviews. Ill ask you questions (to which you will be already aware of) and you will tell your story. If you are a single mom with one song that keeps you going, to a contractor that jams out to songs with his family. I want to get to know you, and the Music that made you. This is a brand new podcast, no followers as of yet but I really think this is something that will grow. I just wanna be there, for other people. I wanna connect to others

I've had a moment of brilliance (if I say so myself) I've decided to start a podcast (Honestly just making it up as I go).
I've really struggled with mental health in the past (and currently realllly struggling) In one of my anxious moments, I did what I always do, turned on music so loud I could just release. its my go to help. OR Remember that song you heard and it literally propelled you forward? Or that song you listened to over and over when something tragic happened. Cause I do. those songs stuck with me and changed me.
So I'm starting a interview podcast called "The Music That Made US." Its basically you and me talking for 45 mins about you, reliving those memories with you and learning/growing through it. My goal would to be have an "emotional" interview and really talk about the connection and story behind the song or that artist that got you through.
Anyone interested in an interview?
I have never done a podcast before, and I've never just put myself out there like this but ladies, I'm struggling. And I don't really have many people to talk to but I know how it feels to have someone really understand what you are going through, even if they haven't gone through the same things that I have. I lean on music as a crutch often, its my gasp of air between the feeling of drowning, and I just wanna talk to others about those songs that gave them life.
My goal is to have three interviews done when I birth my podcast baby and like i said i have no sort of following but would be more than willing add any affiliate links you may have to it .
I created a google form if you are, or it you know someone that would be interested.
