Episode Synopsis
Episode 81: The Theology of Sad Songs
Wherein Them Pastors are kick off Season 3 of the podcast with a long gestating episode about sad songs (and why they are so good). Along the way, there’s talk about personal tragedy, record buying as a coping strategy, the healing that singing a song together can do when nothing else makes sense, why it’s okay to be sad, and why “Hey Ya” is one of the saddest songs ever written.
Also worth noting (per our fact checking House Elf Bartleby) virtually every date Tyler cites in this episode is wrong - e.g. Automatic for the People was actually released in 1991, etc. - so take note of that oversight.
“Get your eyeliner ready - it’s about to run on this one.”
