On this episode, we sit down with Phil Mayo, a preservation tradesman, Marine Corps veteran, philosopher, husband, and dad. Phil shares his honest life story through 6 songs, from GZA’s “4th Chamber” to De La Soul’s “The Magic Number.” Through the songs “Secret of the Easy Yoke” by Pedro the Lion and “Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow)” by John Prine, Phil walks us through his military trauma, loss of faith, and healing journey. He also takes us on a journey through the joys and struggles of love and relationships with the songs “Flowers In Your Hair” by The Lumineers and “For the Sake of the Song” by Townes Van Zandt. Our conversation highlights the pure, raw experience of being alive and how all of our stories are incomplete journeys still being written.
Follow your hosts David, Raza, and Carolina every other week as they embark on an epic adventure to find the songs that are stuck to us like audible tattoos that tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been, to help us figure out where we’re going. It’s a life story told through 6 songs.
