A masterpiece of an answer song. A song that weaves feelings—a love song.
Answer songs are created as responses to original songs.
This is a unique genre that draws attention as “sequels to songs,” featuring many love songs and narrative-driven tracks that often center on differences in perspective between men and women.
In addition to music’s charm of allowing countless interpretations—one for every listener—one of the joys of answer songs is the new discoveries they offer: realizing, beyond what you felt from the original track, that there were such feelings and stories behind it!
We’ll introduce not only the classics but also relatively new tracks, carefully picked along the way.
You might just get hooked on the worldview that connects artists’ intentions!
