The Sound of Spoken Word

Immerse yourself in the evocative power of spoken word with "The Sound of Spoken Word" playlist. This collection ventures into a landscape where poetry and music collide, featuring the introspective storytelling of Listener’s "Wooden Heart" and "You Were A House On Fire," along with Carlos Andrés Gómez's poignant tracks like "Pet Peeve" and "Gifted." Dive deeper with Buddy Wakefield's raw narrative on "Convenience Stores" and "Human the Death Dance." Feel the rhythmic cadences of artists like Phillipe the Philosopher the Prophet & the Poet's provocative "fuck with me/fuck white people," and the rhythmic flow of "Corporate Takeover" by NerCity.

Each track invites listeners to ponder social themes, personal experiences, and reflective musings delivered through engaging performances. The playlist offers thought-provoking pieces such as Christine RAB Wilson’s "Freedom," the humor-laden "I'm An American... Ergo... I'm An Asshole" by Donnie Darkhorse, and Alice Parris’s introspective "Eclipse Of The Soul."
