The week started off with a spectacular Grammy Awards ceremony that captivated music fans everywhere, and in the aftermath, conversations about music and the Grammys were abundant.

Here at The Current, we’re all for celebrating and talking about music. That, coupled with the post-Grammys glow, has inspired us to get meta for Thursday’s Coffee Break. Specifically, there are a lot of songs that reference the experience of music, be it writing or making music, listening to music, being moved by a lyric, hearing an instrument, etc. 

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about experiencing music do you want to hear?
