On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Glenn Donaldson! An episode 20 years in the making, this one was an absolute blast. Glenn’s band, The Reds, Pinks, and Purples has a new collection of songs out now on Fire Records called “The Past Is A Garden I Never Fed,” and it continues a long line of stellar releases. We get into his approach to songwriting, the beauty in names (if you need a band name, you should reach out), and more before diving into the highs and lows of REM, Ahnoni’s crushing songs, a perfect pick for greatest song of all time, Juice WRLD, Sade, Metallica, Galaxie 500, English Beat, and more!
