Today we’re connecting pilgrims to daughters with stops by freshmen, carpenters, and low riders on the way! Stay tuned!

The Verve shouldn’t be confused with the next band, The Verve Pipe (Though I can see how it can be confusing!) whose most popular song is likely The Freshmen. Speaking of freshmen, isn’t that what we were called in Grade 9? The Barenaked Ladies seemed to have a good time, according to their song. The Barenaked Ladies use one of my favorite literary devices in their song: allusions! Why not go to another song that uses allusions, too? What the Water Gave Me by Florence and the Machine refers to the Greek myth of Atlas the titan who holds up the earth. The Water by Feist is another chill and great song about water. Feist is Canadian, much like Tal Bachman, who is famous for his song She’s So High. And what’s the opposite of high? Low. Low Rider by War is one of my favorite songs with low in the title. War was popular in the 1970s, much like Pure Prairie League and what better song of theirs to play than Amie? As long as we’re playing songs with the names of my family members in the title, let’s play Maureen by Sade. Maureen is my sister’s name and, by nature of being my sister, we are my father’s daughters. So, let’s end the show today on John Mayer‘s song Daughters.
