In this episode of Podsongs, Ryan Walsh of the critically acclaimed Boston-band 'Hallelujah The Hills', interviews ground-breaking researcher Rick Doblin, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). The interview that the song inspires is song called 'Get Free'.    Stream the song: https://ffm.to/getfree  Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master’s thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients.  https://maps.org/  Hallelujah The Hills have been releasing critically acclaimed albums and touring the U.S. since 2007. Described by Spin as “criminally underappreciated” and lauded by Pitchfork for their “fist pumping anthems,” they’ve been declared “Boston legends” in their hometown and as having a “cult following” by Stereogum. The band released their first two albums on Misra Records, assisted Titus Andronicus in recording their breakout album The Monitor, and are one of the only bands to have ever toured with The Silver Jews. Their sound was creatively explained as “the kind of punk rock you’d expect on stage at the roadhouse from ‘Twin Peaks’” in The Boston Herald. Others go further, with Aquarium Drunkard noting “few do it with the style and imagination of Hallelujah the Hills” and Captain’s Dead boldly publishing that they “without a doubt they are one of the greatest bands currently making music.” https://www.hallelujahthehills.com/  LYRICS: We’ve been backstabbed betrayed, butchered and splayed On the altar of “the way it’s always been done.” It’s American, man, watch the funerals span The bulk of the calendar year  And you can shake your head say it’s not right Spend all your nights in electronic fights But you know in the end, there’s no way to defend The way we do nothing at all  When waking up is a trauma and hellos turns to drama You disassociate from every nuclear thought Total lack of conviction with a bullshit addiction It’s enough to forget all we’ve got  And all we’ve got could someday be enough A spiritual world where we lean into love Well hey I get it man, you’re not sure of the plan As you harangue me holding a beer  What if the best in us was on the cusp Of true manifestation? Could we take the leap into the deep And find that the softest landing?  And besides   What have we got to lose?

What happens when a young Boston musician interviews a Professor of Sociology at Boston University about the refugee crisis happening worldwide? The answer is a great song for Social Change.    Stream the song:  https://ffm.to/juniperborderline Heba Gowayed is the Moorman-Simon Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston University, and it's her job to make sense of it all. Her research, which is global and comparative, examines how low-income people traverse social services, immigration laws, and their associated bureaucracies, while grappling with gender and racial inequalities. Heba’s writing has appeared in Gender & Society, Ethnic & Racial Studies, Sociological Forum and in public outlets including Slate and Teen Vogue. Her new book, Refuge, out now with Princeton University Press, explores how states shape the potential of people pursuing refuge within their borders. She is currently working on her second book, The Cost of Borders, which theorizes borders as a costly, and often deadly, transaction. JUNIPER After meeting in college, Scott Johnson, Ahren Shreeve, and Alejandro Marín formed Juniper. The group has formed their unique sound from diverse influences of alternative rock, folk, R&B, and bedroom pop. With various vocalists throughout their early discography, one thing has remained constant: their songwriting is tangibly honest, ranging from upbeat and high energy to delicate and introspective. With roots in local venues and basement gigs, their music found a loyal fan base early on, which has since only grown. At just 21 years old, the band has emerged as one of the new faces of the Boston music scene, and with this encouragement, they’ve consolidated and are now working on their debut album, coming soon.

"Compassion is the antidote to suffering and harmfulness. Put simply, it is a sensitivity to suffering in self and others with a commitment to try to alleviate and prevent it." So says Psychologist Paul Gilbert, the godfather of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), in an interview that inspires singer-songwriter Patrick McGuire of Straight White Teeth to create a new song called ‘NOTHING’S BY DESIGN’. Research has now revealed how our capacities for compassion evolved, how it works in our bodies and our brains, and when cultivated, is a source of courage and wisdom to address suffering. Compassionate courage lies in the willingness to see into the nature and causes of suffering - in ourselves, others and the human condition.    Patrick McGuire-inspired Straight White Teeth is the tenacious songwriting project of musician and writer Patrick McGuire.  Stream the song: https://ffm.to/nothingsbydesign --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podsongs/message

Where were the drugs in our hour of need? Where were the drugs against this deadly disease? That it's wholly untreatable's not entirely believable But for what other reason can you rush through vaccines? Are you really telling me? When every other ad I see Pumped in by TV Is for a magic cure I don't believe you anymore Cos all doctors were pharmacists All-day long prescription lists Now suddenly the only thing in their bag is Paracetamol Where were the drugs in our hour of need? Where were the drugs are we being deceived? Can we wake up from denial, we're in one big clinical trial And Paracetamol is not an anti-viral Why can't drugs be authorized? Until you've been hospitalized The system has been paralyzed Right before our very eyes Everyone's been hypnotized With the thought of being immunized The unjabbed are despised Now there are drugs you cannot mention It's become a sin Even to talk about ivermectin Or Hydroxyquinoline There must not be Vaccine hesitancy And all the SARS that went before We treated them we won the war But suddenly the only thing we have is Paracetamol Where were the drugs in our hour of need? Where were the drugs are we being deceived? Can we wake up from denial, we're in one big clinical trial And Paracetamol is not an anti-viral Where were the drugs in our hour of need? Where were the drugs against this deadly disease? That it's wholly untreatable's not entirely believable But for what other reason can you rush through vaccines? www.podsongs.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podsongs/message
