Thematic Static: Favorite first lyrics of a song

First impressions are huge, and in keeping with that theory, a song just might be your favorite because of it’s first stanza or two. What are the best beginning lyrics of songs? We asked and you answered to build together a beautifully unpredictable playlist. Check it out below, the full show, plus the Spotify playlist!

Every week you can make requests at @WNXPNashville on the socials and/or leave voicemails at 615-320-9100. Thanks to United Record Pressing for supporting this weekly themed show, airing first on Thursdays at 9am and then again Saturday mornings at 9.
