Episode #80
I Will Always Love You is not a wedding song. Dolly Parton wrote it in 1973 as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner — the same stretch of days as Jolene. This episode explains the office, the Elvis deal she refused, and why Whitney’s version made the copyright she kept worth a fortune. New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM European time. Episode 80 of Behind The Lines
Episode #79
End of August is the opening track of Noah Kahan’s 2026 album The Great Divide. This week it hit again — because the calendar finally matched the title. This episode explains what the song is actually about: Vermont, Stick Season’s leftover quiet, and why September is the door he does not want to open. New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM European time. Episode 79 of Behind The Lines
Episode #78
Street of Dreams is U2’s first single from their first full album of new songs since 2017. They filmed it in Mexico City on a painted school bus. A storm killed the generator. A family pulled them onto a balcony. This episode explains what the street actually is — and why the song calls the broken people chosen. 0:00 Intro 0:17 The release 0:39 Fifty years 1:00 Mexico City 1:48 The prayer 2:14 The chosen 2:27 Forty years of streets 2:48 Takeaway New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM European time. Episode 78 of Behind The Lines
Episode #77
Boston by Stella Lefty is number two on the Hot 100. The guy the song is about is not from Boston. She wrote the chorus in Nashville before a date, posted it on TikTok, and later gave Noah Kahan a writing credit because it sounded too close to Stick Season. This episode explains what Boston is actually about — and why the city in the title is a feeling, not a hometown. 0:00 Intro — he's not from Boston 0:25 Written before a date 0:48 The Boston piano 1:06 Locked out 1:16 The Noah Kahan credit 1:44 Not Southern enough 2:08 The charts 2:36 The meaning 3:02 Takeaway New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM European time.

Episode #76
Jolene by Dolly Parton was not one woman. The name came from an eight-year-old fan. The story came from a bank teller who flirted with her husband. This episode explains the real meaning of Jolene, and why the song is everywhere again this week. 0:00 Intro — Jolene was two people 0:30 The bank teller 0:57 The 1973 recording 1:23 Written near I Will Always Love You 1:44 Why the song is back 2:01 The meaning 2:45 The covers 3:03 The recliner joke 3:22 Takeaway New episodes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 PM European time.
