Have you ever wondered why couples have a “song”? In this episode, Dan and Brian speak with Jake Harwood, a Professor of Communication at the University of Arizona, who has examined how music helps strengthen bonds between people. The beginning stories of many relationships feature music, and unsurprisingly, those stories are surfacing regularly in the archive. In this episode, we seek to better understand why music works so well to bring people together. Bo Ongley, Aletheia Ida and John Malmborg, and Hannah Galligan each offer a story about how music deepened the ties they have with another person. Sometimes, you meet a person who knows a song so well that they can begin singing in harmony.Learn more about Lifetimes of Listening at:https://musicalmemories.music.arizona.eduJohn Malmborg’s music was mentioned in this episode: https://www.johnmalmborg.com/.
