Episode 020
Today we’ll talk about Parachute’s song “Kiss Me Slowly.” This is the first song we analyze in the category of the love story moment of the First Kiss.
And you’re in for a surprise.
The more we take that song apart, the more we discover why the lyrics actually confuse us and how we could have avoided that confusion.

Sound good?
Let's get started.
