Description

The latest episode of T&V is all about "Songs That Aren't for the Faint of Heart." This theme almost immediately became one of our favorites, but what does it mean to you? And what would you add to a community playlist that isn't for the faint of heart?
Maybe your pick would be the sort of angsty number that comes with a parental warning. Then again, it could be something that seems innocuous, until you consider its dramatic backstory. Of course, it might also be a song that's notoriously difficult — or better yet, apparently impossible to perform.
For this episode, Carter and Mahea were joined by our good friend, the immensely talented songwriter and guitarist, Christina Apostolopoulos.
