🎙️ Show Topic: Beatles & Beyond: Haunting Melodies and the Art of Arrangement
This Thursday, August 21st, 2025, we’re diving into the Beatles’ most evocative melodies, and the artists who carried those arranging ideas into new frontiers.
From rock and pop to folk rock, baroque pop, psychedelic swirls, and soft-rock shimmer, we’ll explore how strings, harmonies, and studio magic turned great songs into goosebump moments.
We’ll connect the dots between classic tracks and kindred artists, spotlighting the hooks you hum and the textures you feel before you can even name them, why a bridge lifts the heart, how a single harmony changes the weather of a chorus, and what makes a tune “haunting.”
🕰️ Tune in for a show packed with music history, melodic craft, and arrangements that still ripple through rock & roll.
📅 Mark your calendars: Thursday, August 21st, 2025 — turn it up and let the melody lead.
