Nothing Is Real - Episode 5 - Songs The ...

BEATLES POD
About this episode

As the years went by, and there seemed like there were no worlds left to conquer, The Beatles started to create songs about the subject they knew best: Themselves. Over the years these songs were direct, opaque, angry, conciliatory, happy and sad. Nothing Is Real hosts Steven Cockcroft & Jason Carty trace the lineage of these songs from the Beatle days and into the solo years. Part one of two. Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.
