The Songs That Hit Us Right in the Soul Pt. 2

In this continuation of The Morning X's "powerful songs" discussion, Barnes and Leslie take more calls to discover which tracks deeply resonate with their listeners. Tune in to hear an out-of-state fan dial in to share why a nostalgic rock song perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of moving on to a new chapter in life.
