Welcome to “When Words Fail, Music Speaks” – the podcast that harnesses the healing power of song to combat depression, anxiety, and everyday heartbreak.In today's episode we sit down with the multitalented Mark Firehammer—author of the genre‑blending novel The Echo and The Voice, creator of the wellness system Feelness, and a seasoned songwriter whose career spans from Florida coffee‑houses in the ‘90s to AI‑driven studios today.Mark shares the wild road‑trip story of his early touring days, the unexpected love affair he's had with the legendary Cronut, and the pivotal moment when he realized his next album would have to be built without a band. We dive deep into his groundbreaking Artist‑Imagined series, a quartet of AI‑crafted albums—Heartlands (country), Heartthrob (dance), Heartstrings (alternative) and Heartbeats (rock)—and explore how he trains machines to sing in the voices of imagined artists while preserving his own lived experiences.Along the way, we touch on:The rise and challenges of independent musicians in the streaming eraThe moral and creative debates surrounding AI‑generated music and Spotify's new disclosure rulesHow Mark's nonprofit aims to turn music, theater, film, and visual art into a collaborative network centered on human connectionFavorite childhood influences—from Cat Stevens and James Taylor to the awe‑inspiring voice of Freddie Mercury—and the songs that still move him to tearsWhether you're a songwriter stuck in a creative rut, a fan of cutting‑edge tech, or simply someone looking for a musical pick‑me‑up, this conversation offers a blend of nostalgia, practical insight, and forward‑looking optimism. Grab your headphones, cue up a fresh track, and let Mark's story remind you that when words fall short, music always finds a way to speak.

Visi jie – saviti ir skirtingi, tačiau vienijami to paties laiko ženklo: jiems jau penkiasdešimt metų. Tai kūrybingos ir eksperimentinės roko muzikos laikotarpis, kai ji plačiai skambėjo visoje Europoje. Tad šįkart išgirsime ne tik britų, bet ir Prancūzijos, Vokietijos bei Italijos ansamblius.Grojaraštyje – Atoll, Jade Warrior, Il Volo, Nektar, Klaus Schulze, Cat Stevens.Ved. Lukas Devita

Kiwi pop icon Suzanne Lynch's had a long-running music career, and she's looking back on her legacy in a new memoir. Lynch got her start at 14 after a chance encounter with guitarist Peter Posa, which led to the creation of The Chicks, often considered New Zealand's first successful girl group. Since then, she's worked with many well-known artists - and even toured the world with Cat Stevens twice. "I was just doing something I loved, and I'm still doing something I loved. Until I started writing that book, I didn't realise just how much I'd done and I kept thinking - oh, I must mention this and I must mention that."

We've decided to do a deep dive on some of our favourite albums to explore the stories behind them.What did the artists really think of each other? Where did the inspirations from the songs come from?Joining Andrea to discuss is Head Tour Guide at the Irish Rock ‘N' Roll Museum Experience, Alan Buckley, who's going to talk through Cat Stevens' album ‘Tea for the Tillerman'!
In this song, I believe (Yusuf) Cat Stevens is singing to a woman he yearns for in a Human form. On another level, he may be singing, aware or unaware, to the Divine Feminine. In either case, the object of Stevens' love is unattainable in the present. Yet, I further believe, that the admirer (Stevens) continues to yearn for his beloved in the hope that he will, one day, meet her. In this sense, the song is hopeful rather than despairing. However one interprets “How Can I Tell you,” I feel that the song is filled with incredible beauty that shines through. And thank you, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), for your always beautiful, wise, and inspiring music. Here's my cover. Chapters (00:00:23) - "How Can I Tell You That I Love You..."

Aufbruch. Die Nase in den Wind, das Studium schmeißen und einfach mal los – nach Wien. Davon singt David Lübke in seinem gerade veröffentlichten Lied „Unterwegs nach Wien“. Im Winter kommt das neue Album und über die Arbeit daran spricht er heute schon auf radioeins im studioeins! Ein moderner Troubadour ist David Lübke und zieht mit Gitarre und Banjo durch die Lande, um seine Geschichten zu erzählen. Das beinhaltet tatsächlich auch das spontane Liedermachen vor der ein oder anderen Haustür. Mit seinen kleinen Alltagsgeschichten über beispielsweise die Sehnsucht oder auch die tatsächliche Handlung nach Wien zu reisen, wird er zu einem gesellschaftlichen Chronisten mit Vorbildern wie Joni Mitchell, Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan oder Cat Stevens. Sein drittes Album „Wo der Mond die Erde küsst“ wird im November erscheinen und mit gewisser Alltagsromantik die „sensible Magie zwischen Tag und Nacht, zwischen Alltag und Träumerei“ hervorheben – und es wird wohl voraussichtlich eine große Freude sein!

In this episode, Gerry Beckley; singer, songwriter, and co-founder of the iconic band America takes us on a remarkable journey through five decades of music, fame and friendship. Gerry talks about their timeless hits including “A Horse with No Name” and “Sister Golden Hair” and what it felt like to top the charts with both a No. 1 single and album at just 19 years old. He shares vivid stories of forming the band while still in high school, navigating sudden stardom, collaborating with legendary producer George Martin (The Beatles) and performing alongside everyone from Pink Floyd to Cat Stevens. From whirlwind early tours and surreal LA house parties with the likes of David Bowie, Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, to the emotional highs and challenges of a 53-year musical brotherhood with Dewey Bunnell — this is a rare and intimate look behind the curtain of one of the most enduring bands in rock history. Plus: The making of the acclaimed new documentary “I Need You: 53 Years of the Band America” and why their music still strikes a chord with fans across generations. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering the band, this episode is packed with heart, humour, history and harmony.

I've been doing soundwalks for three years now, but it feels like longer. Crane Lake Soundwalk is officially #64.I remember the day my dad told me he listened to The Beatles' “When I'm Sixty-Four” on the morning of his 64th birthday. He expressed a certain disbelief that he caught up to the song he first encountered as a twenty-year-old. He didn't feel sixty-four, he said. I even remember the day he repurchased the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album as a CD in his forties. He picked me up at Dudley's Records in downtown Portland, Oregon, and on a whim did some used CD shopping. In addition to the aforementioned Beatles, he picked up Cat Stevens' Tea for the Tillerman and James Taylor's Greatest Hits Vol. 1. Quite the haul, and ultimately not lost on me, even though I was in the thrall of New Wave. I spent my money on New Order and The Smiths. Anyway, I suppose that's just to say, time has a way of sneaking up on all of us. And it leads me to ask, as one does occasionally, how did I get here? Luckily I'd been doing some thinking on it recently and. Here is why I'm still making soundwalks: * These soundwalk environmental recordings—rendered while moving through the landscape at the human scale—possess an intimacy that a fixed position soundscape does not have. In the same way that a human photographed in front of a redwood tree helps communicate the grandeur of the tree, footsteps, and the passing of sounds in and out of the audible horizon lend dimensionality and scale. * It's so much easier to get “good tape”, when you just roll all the time.* It gets me outside. * There's room to grow. I'm getting better.Crane Lake Soundwalk is an interesting addition to the catalog. It's stimulating. There's a lot of wildlife to hear. And if you have the time to spare, you can compare this soundwalk to my debut Listening Spot release, Crane Lake Suite, made on the same day, in the same place, but from a fixed position. It does illustrate differences in the approach.It's just not every day you find yourself next to a shallow body of water roiling with carp.Now, if you just tuned in to the soundwalk without reading this, and didn't know about the carp, you might think it was me sloshing through the water, before realizing the splashes had a fishiness to them. I can imagine it being a little puzzling to the uninitiated.To get to Crane Lake you walk down a grassy lane on a seldom visited quarter of Sauvie Island, just north of Portland, Oregon.Soon enough you come to the lake. There are no official trails. Just slightly trampled lanes in the grass. Here we hear Cedar Waxwing, Black-headed Grosbeak, Tree Swallow, Song Sparrow, Western Wood Pewee, Yellow Warbler, Swainson's Thrush… We also hear the swish of grass underfoot and the cottonwoods quaking in the breeze.At the lake Great Blue Herons stand statuesque. They occasionally erupt from the grass thickets with Cretaceous croaks, ranging around for a new fishing spot. This is like a fast food drive thru for Bald Eagles. Easy pickings in the shallow lake.Juveniles have dark head feathers. They remain silent for the duration of my visit. You will, however, hear a Stellar's Jay mimic a Red-tailed hawk call (28:20). The Red-tailed Hawk call has long been a stand-in for an eagle call in Hollywood movie sound design. Fine sheets of rain fall in waves. The drops sound like little pin pricks, falling on the brim of my recording hat. I walk along the western perimeter of the lake on a little lane. Gentle sounds abound. I walk slowly. This is not the oldest composition I'm sharing this year, but it was tracked a year ago. It's a little surprising to me that I've stuck with a lot of these instrument voices since then. My general drift, I would say, is toward a more electrified palette. But finding the electric sounds that are expressive is time consuming, so I guess it makes sense that when I find a few, I'm going to use them for a while. That's about all I have to say about this one. I hope it adds a little something to your corner of the world.
