Listening to Music by Sean is a podcast about meaning, wonder, connection and loss sounded out through music one song at a time. Each episode introduces an original piece of music revealing the conceptual and production context in which it was created. In the days of mixtapes, I would also sometimes record a single original song and send it to a friend. This podcast continues that project started over half a lifetime ago. All music and sounds are original and produced using analogue synthesis, sequences, samples and my voice.

    I So Believe In Love

    I So Believe In Love

    I So Believe In Love is a song about big, simple, love. What gives you confidence? What makes you feel strong? My best answer is loving someone who loves you back. In the song I So Believe in Love, I explore the unblushing joy one feels at love's first arrival and the strength of heart one knows after sharing love for thousands and thousands of days. This is a song of celebration.I So Believe In Love (words and music by Sean Riley)Is it true?I hope it's true.What they...

    I Dream Concentric

    I Dream Concentric

    I dream concentric is a song about awakenings.Have you ever dreamt you were dreaming and woke only to find you where still asleep? Some thinkers suggest our experience of life and the world is merely a construct aggregated from our senses: A dream created for survival through prediction. I like to think that our experiencing mind is created for meaning, and with that mind, we are continually invited to awake into a next grander dream.To listen to more music by Sean go to seanrile...

    God Beware

    God Beware

    God Beware is a song about not letting go.Would you resurrect a departed love, performing spells of reanimation while pulling sinews and bone from covering clay? If you could, what consequence would such a dark act also deliver? It's true some partings seem impossible to reconcile, but continuing to court the past, even in thought, leads to the greater casualty of hope.To hear more music by Sean, go to seanriley.com/music/.

    Always Darkest

    Always Darkest

    Always Darkest is a song about the endurance of hope.Many would lessen hope to childish and rosy magical thinking that view the world as it is not. Yet, hope allows us the vision to conceive things as they could be. Hope assumes a future making space for possibilities. It is brave to hope out loud and not sink under dark waters. Well founded optimism is contagious and is what we all need, especially in the Always Darkest last moment of night.Thank you for listening to music ...

    She Said Yes

    She Said Yes

    She Said Yes is a song about Love's arch. Does love at first sight exist? Do we ever really really know anyone? Imagine if at a glance we understood what an entire life with that person would be. Would we choose better? Or, is the best of love what happens once plans fail. If you'd like to hear more music by Sean, please visit seanriley.com/music.

    Roll Big

    Roll Big

    Roll Big is a song about those times when you just got to dance. We've felt it, the irresistible desire to dance. There are times when the body follows its own kinetic potential, submitting to a rhythm's unremitting mandate. At a more basic part of us resides a language of movement which resinates and flourishes when we dance together. This primordial logic is legacy programming from a more ancient time . . . even before the 70s. If you would like to hear other music by Sean pleas...
