Hello and welcome to the 'Rewind Sessions'. This podcast is for anyone who’s ever heard a song and felt time collapse — suddenly you’re back in your first flat, your school, your parents’ living room, or at a concert with friends. It’s especially for those of us 40 and up who grew up with vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and radio countdowns — and still feel the pull of music from the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and 00s. It is also for anyone with a love of music no matter your age. Each episode dives into one song that takes me back to a specific moment in time — not just to the year it was released, but to the year it mattered. We explore the full album it came from, the story behind the artist, what was happening in the world, and why it still resonates today. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a curious listener, the Rewind Sessions is your space to reflect, rediscover, and reconnect — one track at a time.

    Ep 7 - Life for Rent by Dido - A time for change! (2003)

    In this episode, we rewind to late 2003 and the moment Life for Rent became the soundtrack to one of the biggest turning points in my twenties. I had the dream flat, my master’s underway, brilliant friends… and yet life was nudging me toward a massive change. This song carried me through the fear, the excitement, and the leap into a new chapter. Join me as we step back into that London‑girl era and unpack the anthem that pushed me to move, grow, and choose the life I actually wanted.

    Ep 1 - Ashes by Embrace - A new beginning (2004 and 2025)

    Kia ora, I’m Tracy Fleming, and in this episode I’m rewinding to Ashes by Embrace — the anthem that lit up 2004 with resilience and hope. This isn’t just about a chart single; it’s about the comeback spirit, the fan‑driven push to get it to number one, and the way songs like this become soundtracks to our own turning points. I’ll share my memories of that era, the album’s highlights, and the cultural backdrop that made Ashes so powerful. Along the way, we’ll dip into trivia, stories, and reflections that invite you to think about your own “comeback songs.” Because Rewind Sessions is about more than music — it’s about connection, rediscovery, and the memories we carry with us.

    Welcome to the Rewind Sessions: Your Musical Time Machine!

    Hello, I’m Tracy — a proud Gen X music fan raised on the sounds of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. My teenage years were soundtracked by mixtapes, Top of the Pops, and late-night radio. I spent the ’90s  and 00s attending live gigs and festivals, and now, thanks to my kids, I’m discovering a whole new wave of music. The Rewind Sessions is my love letter to the songs and stories that shaped me — and maybe shaped you too. This podcast is all about connection: to the music, the memories, and the people who made them unforgettable. I’ve been digging through old diaries, unearthing ticket stubs, and swapping stories with friends — and I can’t wait to share them with you. More than anything, I hope this podcast inspires you to share your own musical memories with the people you love. In each episode, I’’ll rewind to a song that meant something — a moment, a feeling, a time in our lives. I don’t play the tracks here, but I invite you to listen along on vinyl, CDs, tapes, or on your favorite streaming app. And if you get the chance — go see these artists live. Many are touring, releasing new music, and putting re-release vinyl and special editions for significant anniversaries! Support them. Buy the albums. Read the notes and feel the magic again. Each episode is a mixtape of memories, meaning, and musical rediscovery. In season 1 ,we begin with Ashes by Embrace. We will also explore the music of Joni Mitchell,  No Doubt and Bon Jovi to name a few! And yes — Season Two is already in the works, where we’ll explore songs that link music to our favorite TV moments. So come on — let’s rewind together.
