Oh, what a way to end an arc! Tom and I are blindsided by the
connection the first song has to Jeff's daughter Eva - something
potentially under our noses, but we were completely unaware of. We
kind of rabbit-hole the band in question, and I unearth how the
mastermind of this outfit was responsible for a slew of Euro-Dance
and Pop of the '80s and '90s (one startling connection!).
Next up, a relatively recent discovery by my husband John, but
actually from 2004. A certain lyric is at the center. Of course,
it's a sort of remake of a song from a Dutch band from twenty years
prior, and hilarity ensues.
The final song of our conversation was not part of the day but from another Uber encounter. Fitting, as we started episode one with an Uber encounter. Jeff has some info on one of the artists on this song because of Eva. Having a college-age child brings a music perspective you might not have otherwise.
A simple statement from Tom at the end of the conversation became another gift from the universe. I focused on one word to determine the outro song. In this search, I stumbled upon a song that connects back to a singer from the first episode. I love my life.
