What makes a song truly heart-wrenching? Join us on the WQSB Morning Show with Barry and Holli as we navigate from the sweltering heat to the melancholic melodies that tug at our heartstrings. Barry kicks off with a hilarious tale of his scorched berry bushes, leading to a wistful discussion on the joy and pain of berry-picking. Holli then takes us into deeper waters, sharing listener-selected tear-jerkers like Martina McBride’s "Concrete Angel" and inviting everyone to vote for their saddest song on our Facebook page.
We reveal our top three most-emotional tracks, including classics like George Jones’s "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and Simon and Garfunkel’s "The Sound of Silence." Not to be missed is our take on Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" and the backlash over Ingrid Andress's national anthem performance at the All-Star Game. Our eclectic mix of topics touches on everything from the bittersweet stories behind these songs to an upcoming countdown that you won’t want to miss if you appreciate the power of music to evoke deep emotions.
We wrap up with a blend of humor and heartfelt moments, recounting a listener’s touching request for "Go Rest High on that Mountain" and pondering the peculiarities of animal belly buttons. From beach day announcements to tips on overcoming personal excuses, this episode promises a rollercoaster of emotions and community spirit. Join us for a memorable mix of laughs, tears, and everything in between!
