The ritual of spring cleaning takes on new life in this energizing episode as Matt and Sam craft the perfect soundtrack for transforming both your living space and your mindset. Rather than viewing cleaning as a chore, we reimagine it as a journey of renewal that deserves its own carefully curated playlist.Our unique approach divides the cleaning experience into two complementary sides. Matt's selections begin with the motivational power of Christopher Cross's "Ride Like the Wind" (complete with its surprising LSD-inspired origin story) and progresses through tracks that address both physical spaces and internal "cleaning" – recognizing that sometimes the most important decluttering happens within ourselves. From the practical reminders of "Car Wash" by Rose Royce to the introspective examination in "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, Side A creates momentum for your cleaning journey.Sam's Side B acknowledges the reality that before things get cleaner, they often must first get messier. Starting with Matt and Kim's aptly titled "Make a Mess," these selections guide you through the emotional process of letting go (with Peter Bjorn and John's "Objects of My Affection"), finding motivation when energy flags (Britney's iconic "Work Bitch"), and ultimately creating your own personal paradise (Coldplay).What emerges is more than just a playlist – it's a thoughtful exploration of how our physical environments reflect our mental states. By creating order in our surroundings, we often discover newfound clarity and peace within ourselves. Throughout the episode, we share personal insights about the connection between clean spaces and clear minds, offering listeners both practical motivation and meaningful reflection.Whether you're tackling a major decluttering project or simply tidying up for the new season, this musical journey transforms mundane household tasks into an opportunity for renewal. Put on your headphones, grab your cleaning supplies, and join us in creating spaces that nourish rather than drain us as we welcome spring.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/spring-cleaning-2025/pl.u-ppBRCdKjlz1.  Ride Like the Wind – Christopher Cross2.  Car Wash – Rose Royce3.  Demons – Imagine Dragons4.  Cleaning Windows – Van Morrison5.  Come Clean – Hilary Duff6.  Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem) – Jay-Z7.  Make a Mess – Matt and Kim8.
