So May I Reintroduce To You: One Sweet Dream. Why We're Here, What's Next and The Aimee Mann Episode
8253
This episode is jam-packed and full of goodies! Including meditations on the podcast — why it exists, what it's trying to do — and an announcement about what we're doing next, and reprised episode with Aimee Mann.
I adore this episode, it was an honor to have her on One Sweet Dream, and she was full of stellar insights and observations about the band's dynamics — drawing on her own experiences working in bands, collaborations, and as a solo artist.
In late 2022, Aimee was voted as one of the top ten greatest female songwriters of all time by American Songwriter Magazine readers: https://americansongwriter.com/american-songwriter-readers-vote-greatest-female-songwriters-of-all-time/
Follow Aimee at @realaimeemann
All the Aimee Mann music used in the episode:
Queens of the Summer Hotel: "Burn It Out" and "In Mexico"
The Magnolia Soundtrack: "Save Me"
Mental Illness: "Goose Snow Cone"
I Am Sam (music from and inspired by the motion picture): "Two Of Us" with Michael Penn

WTF Dear Friend? Conversations In Songs Series
8540
In this episode, Host Diana Erickson and regular contributor Dr. Duncan Driver dig into Paul McCartney's commentary on the song, Dear Friend, from the book, The Lyrics.
This episode considers the musical conversation between Lennon and McCartney at this time, in 1971, so God, How Do You Sleep, and Jealous Guy are all explored.
Dear Friend is not only a beautiful song but an important one in the conversation between Lennon and McCartney in 1971—a time when their relationship was strained and spiraling. Diana and Duncan consider the context in which the song was created and what the song communicates.
Books referenced: The Lyrics

Breakup Series #11: The Divorce Meeting!
7807
Diana and Phoebe discuss the infamous September 20th "divorce" meeting where John Lennon declared he wanted a divorce from the Beatles. We examine the various recollections of the meeting from both Lennon and McCartney's perspectives in an effort to understand what actually transpired between them, how they each viewed the meeting, and how they spun the story afterward. We debate whether John's declaration was reactionary, a true cry of emancipation, a strategic move that required a countermove, or even whether this truly was the end of the Beatles. After 10 episodes of backstory, we have arrived at the divorce meeting.

Breakup Series #10: Ten Days in September '69: Paul (Pt 2)
9382
In this TWO PART episode, we focus on Paul's McCartney in September 1969. In PART 2 we examine how McCartney has been portrayed in the Beatles story and pressure test this characterization. We do this by considering what may have been going on with Paul at this time — as well as how he may have come across to the others in the band, while also attempting to accurately portray his value and power as an artist at this time.Diana EricksonOnesweetdreampodcast.comEmail: Onesweetdreampodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @onesweetdreamdi

Breakup Series #10: Ten Days in September '69: Paul (Pt 1)
8182
In this TWO PART episode, we will track McCartney over the ten days leading up to the September 20th meeting — as we did for Lennon.
In PART ONE we discuss Paul’s BBC interview and the impact on the situation when they lose Northern Songs. We unpack Paul’s interview —one of only a handful he gave that year—and examine what he was actually communicating. This is important because far too often thoughts, feelings, and motivations are projected onto Paul based on post-narrative spin rather than his own contemporaneous words.
In part 2 we talk about how Paul is framed in the story, and pressure test this characterization. We also try to see the story from both Paul’s perspective and from those around him. Onesweetdreampodcast.comOnesweetdreampodcast@gmail.com@onesweetdreamdiAnotherkindofmind.com@akompodcast@akompod
