This episode of Switched on Pop comes at you live from Block Island, RI, recoded in front of an audience of friends and family following a solar eclipse. Fittingly, the two songs discussed that day formed their own kind of syzygy. Kesha’s “Praying” and Imagine Dragon’s “Believer” are inverse anthems of resilience. Both tracks seek catharsis – one through prayer, the other through pain.

* Kesha – Praying
* Mozart – The Queen of the Night Aria
