  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to a Murders to Music Snapshot where you get five minutes of a random thought and hopefully it's entertaining, you get something out of it and I get to share something cool.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So here's what we got.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So the other day and before I go there, some of you guys are going to understand this right away and some of you are going to be like I am clueless to what you're talking about.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Going to be like I am clueless to what you're talking about.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But have you ever been just in a normal environment and you hear a song or you see a piece of art and it just you get goosebumps, the hairs on your arms stand up, the hair on the back of your neck stands up and all of a sudden you are just entrenched emotionally, you are overcome and overwhelmed with something that you don't even know what's going on, and it's just the way that song hits you, it takes you to a special place and it just shakes you from the core.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: There's a word for that.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's called frisson.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's a French word that means shrill or shiver, and it's essentially you're having an emotional reaction to a piece of art or music or some kind of stimuli.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that happened to me the other day.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road minding my own business and there's YouTube scrolling in the background just playing different songs and stuff that I listen to when I go down the road, and in one of these songs it comes up with an interview between Don Henley and Howard Stern back in 2015.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know, I'm a huge Don Henley fan.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Don Henley, the Eagles they are absolutely amazing.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They absolutely are just awesome.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And if I could, I would give anything to meet Don Henley, hang out with him, and I don't idolize anybody, but he is freaking amazing and he's just awesome.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So anyway, in this interview he's talking about the song boys of summer and he gets asked hey, do you like this song?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: What is you know?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Tell me the history.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And Don is like you know, this is an amazing song.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: In fact, this track for this song, the music, was written for Tom Petty, but Tom Petty declined to put anything behind it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So Don took it and he wrote the lyrics to Boys of Summer and we've all heard that song a thousand times.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's been around for 40 years, 45 years now, and the song is great in its own right, but when Don played it on the show.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: He played a more contemplative version of it where he slowed things way down and it completely changed it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Right, you can see or hear something the same way a thousand times, but sometime, when you hear it through a different filter, a different lens, all of a sudden completely different.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And that's what this was.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I'm driving down the road and I start bawling.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I absolutely start crying, like I don't know where these tears are coming from.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm blurry eyed, I can't drive.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like I don't know where these tears are coming from.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm blurry eyed, I can't drive.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It hit me in a way that I can't even explain.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And it was pretty awesome.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And I know you guys have probably never heard the song the way it's about to be played, but I want to play it for you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it hits you the same way or not.
