Show Notes
Welcome to the final episode in Season One of the English as a Singing Language podcast. When we got this crazy idea, we had no idea if we would be able to actually create even one episode. Here we are, one year later, and we’ve released a total of 17 episodes. There are songs from different artists, decades and styles. We’ve talked about pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
What makes the whole process most enjoyable for us is you, our listeners. We hope you have enjoyed the podcast and you have learned some new English skills along the way. We want to thank you for giving us the best time of our lives!! And don’t worry, we’re already hard at work on Season Two!!

It’s been a long time, but we think it will be worth the wait! One of the things we love most about working on the podcast is meeting interesting, enthusiastic, talented people! We have a special Valentine’s-themed, connections episode for our first episode back. We created an episode with singing-coach, actor, and podcaster Estelle Idoko! In this episode, using the 1964 hit song, “L-O-V-E,” by Nat King Cole, Estelle helps us to sing our vowels clearly and accurately. We’d L-O-V-E for you to take a listen! 🎶Have fun, and…just keep singing!🎶
Have you ever thought about what you would do if you had a million dollars? In order to think about this, or write or talk about it in English, you need to use an unreal conditional. For example, if we had a million dollars, we would spend all our time working on the podcast! In Season 3, Episode 12, we focus on the unreal conditionals in the song, “If I had a Million Dollars,” by the Canadian group, Barenaked Ladies. They would do lots of funny things. Take a listen to the episode to find out exactly what they would do and how you can use the unreal conditional in English! 🎶Have fun, and…just keep singing!🎶
International Women’s Day is celebrated all over the world on March 8th. Ece and Heather host an annual party with their friends, and this year, they are adding another song to their playlist for the party - Kelly Clarkson’s 2011 hit song, “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” This song has a great message, and it also contains a lot of comparative adjectives. Maybe you were strong last year, but this year you are even stronger! Check out Season 3, Episode 11 wherever you listen to podcasts. 🎶Have fun, and…just keep singing!🎶
It’s the middle of winter, and Heather is m-m-m-miserable in the cold. We get together for a cup of hot chocolate to fight the gloomy winter weather, and we end up talking about the 1966 Simon & Garfunkel song, “A Hazy Shade of Winter.”
It’s a new year, and a new beginning. For the first episode of 2025, we have chosen Taylor Swift’s 2017 song, “New Year’s Day” from her album, Reputation.
