Songs in the Key of...

A podcast about songs. New songs. Old songs. Middle aged songs. Join Stephen Morris as he trawls through his collection of albums, EPs and singles. Sometimes these shows will be themed around an idea, a person, a genre or some other concept. Other times they will simply reflect his latest obsessions. His new favourite bands. Those songs he just can’t get out of his head... Follow Stephen on Twitter @reviewage

Almost everything he created conveyed – in some way - a deep yearning – through stories either tragic and comic – and sometime both – to understand and celebrate the perfect imperfections of lives lived. His own and others.This episode is focused entirely on Chris
