Speaker 1: Holy Human with Liane Rhymes is a production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hello, my friends, I am so excited to
Speaker 1: announce the new season of Holy Human. That's Holy with
Speaker 1: a W by the way, as a whole Holy Human
Speaker 1: with me Leanne Rhymes. It's a podcast dedicated to helping
Speaker 1: us all achieve a fuller sense of inner peace, healing,
Speaker 1: and happiness individually and together. And I would love for
Speaker 1: you to join me. Yet, since we finished the first season,
Speaker 1: I have been missing you. I know you've been missing
Speaker 1: me too, because you've all been telling me. So we
Speaker 1: have been wanting to figure out ways to connect when
Speaker 1: it's not just a full podcast. So the first one
Speaker 1: we're going to start out with is my Holy Five.
Speaker 1: I ask all my friends and my podcast guests that
Speaker 1: come on what their Holy five favorite songs are, and
Speaker 1: I realized I had not shared mine. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is much harder. I have so many songs that
Speaker 1: I could talk about. So this will probably roll out
Speaker 1: over a period of time of my Holy five and
Speaker 1: maybe a specific genre or a specific feeling. Oh I
Speaker 1: like that, because I actually do think that my holy
Speaker 1: five that I've chosen today have a specific feeling. I
Speaker 1: seem to gravitate towards sad songs because well, there's multiple reasons.
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, I do think that sad is my go
Speaker 1: to frequency of feeling because I I feel like, if
Speaker 1: you really think about it, there is a place where
Speaker 1: you actually live a lot of the time, and for me,
Speaker 1: that's sadness. I grew up around a lot of sadness.
Speaker 1: I think that sadness keeps me tied to my childhood,
Speaker 1: and I think there's a hint of guilt that if
Speaker 1: I grow past that, if I live in a different frequency,
Speaker 1: that I'm neglecting or abandoning because I feel like I've
Speaker 1: had to take care of everyone's feelings growing up. Um,
Speaker 1: that's my codependent nature. So it's something new for me
Speaker 1: that I've recognized is that sadness is my normal frequency
Speaker 1: just in general, like when it comes to music, I
Speaker 1: gravitate towards not only sad songs, but like more in
Speaker 1: depth feeling story songs. The sad song frequency is something
Speaker 1: that I've observed about myself. I actually like to get
Speaker 1: lost in it. There's something comforting about it, and I
Speaker 1: think sad songs do comfort people, especially in times of
Speaker 1: of sadness. What's interesting is that I like to hang
Speaker 1: out there often just going to sad songs or Bob Marley,
Speaker 1: because there was such power in his lyric and such
Speaker 1: sadness to a lot of his songs, though there's this
Speaker 1: really happy groove, and the juxtaposition was genius. And I
Speaker 1: find when I go to put on a record when
Speaker 1: I want to feel good in like that space of
Speaker 1: like it's Friday afternoon and it feels good, I put
Speaker 1: on Bob Marley. To me, actually, Bob Marley is like
Speaker 1: the most genius uh connection of the two. How long
Speaker 1: shady prophets what we stand aside? And look, we all
Speaker 1: have lived in a world where we've been more comfortable
Speaker 1: with chaos and pain and turmoil and or an outer
Speaker 1: then we have with joy and peace and harmony. Maybe
Speaker 1: my song selections in the future will reflect feeling more
Speaker 1: comfortable in my peace and joy and harmony. But for now,
Speaker 1: let's stick to some sad ships. The first song that
Speaker 1: I'm going to say is probably if I always said
Speaker 1: that if there was a song that could describe my life,
Speaker 1: that it would be this song. And it's so sad
Speaker 1: in Its Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen, which I have
Speaker 1: done a cover of If It Be Shred Big, and
Speaker 1: I did the cover for our radio show, and I
Speaker 1: remember being in my knees say the song and then
Speaker 1: like just bawling my eyes out. By the end of it.
Speaker 1: I was praying to God that I can make it
Speaker 1: through it, which I didn't, But that was actually kind
Speaker 1: of the sweetness of the performance. But I just revisited
Speaker 1: this song the other day, and there's a reason why
Speaker 1: Secret Garden has been my favorite song which just could
Speaker 1: describe my life. And it's this depth of loneliness that
Speaker 1: I felt like there was always a piece of me
Speaker 1: that even I had hidden the way from myself, because
Speaker 1: if I hit it away then from my own self,
Speaker 1: then truly no one would be able to get to
Speaker 1: this piece of me and take it from me. For me.
Speaker 1: With music, there's there seems to be layers to songs
Speaker 1: like I'll Know Why, I know the loneliness that I
Speaker 1: feel when I listened to this song the last lines
Speaker 1: of um Cry talking about it, um the She's got
Speaker 1: a secret Garden where everything you want and everything you
Speaker 1: need will always stay a million miles away. That's sad,
Speaker 1: that's sad, but that's why it's one of my Holy five.
Speaker 1: Oh if we if so, if my guests took this
Speaker 1: long describing every reason and why each of their songs
Speaker 1: was important to them, we would never have any other podcast.
Speaker 1: Um okay. Song number two is a song called Blower's
Speaker 1: Daughter by Damien Rice. When this song came out, I
Speaker 1: listened to it over and over and over again. I
Speaker 1: still do. If it comes on, it's just like I
Speaker 1: have to stop what I'm doing. It's like Secret Garden,
Speaker 1: same thing. I stop what I'm doing and I have
Speaker 1: to take in the song because it's that good. I
Speaker 1: can't take my eyes. But I remember I was filming
Speaker 1: a video what probably wouldn't be this way where I
Speaker 1: had to cry through. It was an emotional video. I
Speaker 1: would listen to this song before I would go do
Speaker 1: a take. It was the one thing that always brought
Speaker 1: me to that place where I just could emote. I
Speaker 1: do remember at that time in my life kind of
Speaker 1: knowing my marriage was over, and I think there's something
Speaker 1: about that song that I tied into that feeling of
Speaker 1: just knowing that something is over and that I felt
Speaker 1: like I couldn't get out of it. And so whenever
Speaker 1: I hear that song now, I actually do take a
Speaker 1: moment and remember that feeling and remind myself, like how
Speaker 1: far I've come since then? The sadness or the tears
Speaker 1: that come now listening to that song are very different
Speaker 1: tears than the tears that once were. Number three. Song
Speaker 1: number three is a song called Promise by Ben Howard.
Speaker 1: I love the song so much. Actually, to be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't even know exactly what the song is about.
Speaker 1: It's a feeling I get when I listened to the
Speaker 1: record and his voice. To me, it really doesn't even
Speaker 1: matter what he's saying in this song. It is. It's
Speaker 1: the feeling that it brings up in me. There's something
Speaker 1: about the divine feminine that it brings up in me
Speaker 1: and I it's a song that I put on when
Speaker 1: I want to move my body and feel. What happens
Speaker 1: is there's a sensuality that comes up for me when
Speaker 1: I moved to this song, and it's so uncomfortable. Movement
Speaker 1: is something that's very uncomfortable for me. I think of
Speaker 1: really lived outside of my body or in my head
Speaker 1: for so long that any kind of sensuality and movement
Speaker 1: is just challenging. But this song for me, something about Promise, Uh,
Speaker 1: takes me to a place where I don't touch very
Speaker 1: often in myself, and so it's not I don't even
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's necessarily sad, but I
Speaker 1: do cry to it. Ah, I have to really go
Speaker 1: look at that lyric. Number four is Joni Mitchell's Case
Speaker 1: of You. First off, it's in the movie Practical Magic,
Speaker 1: which I think is actually where I first heard it.
Speaker 1: I think this reminds me of of Eddie, of being
Speaker 1: that drunk on love with someone. I love singing it.
Speaker 1: I cover it all the time, and the melody in
Speaker 1: that song is just so stunning and lyrically too, but
Speaker 1: for me melodically and the way that JOONI always so
Speaker 1: effortlessly moved up a scale is stunning sweet. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that would stupid beyond that. And for song number five, Um,
Speaker 1: my latest discovery is this song called Heavenly f there
Speaker 1: by Bonavire. His lyrics are so interesting to me because
Speaker 1: I've I've actually heard him be like, oh the song
Speaker 1: is really about nothing, just kind of sounded cool together. Um,
Speaker 1: I actually went in Google like the lyric to the
Speaker 1: song and I don't know if he's talking about his father,
Speaker 1: but it actually reminds me also of I think he's
Speaker 1: talking both. I think he's talking about Heavenly Father as
Speaker 1: in God, and I think he's also talking about his
Speaker 1: father who passed away. It's the best song, Adam. I
Speaker 1: was never sure how much of you I could let
Speaker 1: in like those lyrics. For me, it was about God
Speaker 1: um And for me what it touches is growing up
Speaker 1: in an organized religion and I own relationship and the
Speaker 1: journey it's taken from not wanting to let in a
Speaker 1: higher power to be in all about it, but the
Speaker 1: true journey of that. And have I loved the last
Speaker 1: line is Heavenly Father, all that you offers a safety
Speaker 1: in the end. It's so good. It's such a good song.
Speaker 1: So if you feel like crying today, please go put
Speaker 1: on my Holy five wherever you're feeling, whatever you're feeling,
Speaker 1: if you need a good cry, I think these songs
Speaker 1: will help support you in your emoting. Thank you guys
Speaker 1: for joining me just for this little tidbit of my
Speaker 1: personal Holy five. And we'll get even more personal on
Speaker 1: the second season of Holy Human, launching this July nine,
Speaker 1: And I am so excited because I have so many
Speaker 1: wonderful guests joining me, and I cannot wait to connect
Speaker 1: you with all of them, So until then, I wish
