When that one song comes on that destroys your soul in a way that can’t be explained . . . 

Have you ever been going about your day when a song suddenly comes on and unravels you in seconds? Your throat tightens, your chest aches, and before you know it, you’re standing inside a memory you didn’t plan to visit.

In this tender episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the psychology behind why certain songs carry such profound emotional weight. We talk about how music bypasses logic and moves straight into the emotional brain, why sorrow can surface before the mind has words, and how songs become emotional time capsules for love, loss, longing, and meaning.

This episode is not about fixing your feelings or “getting over it.” It’s about understanding why music touches something so deep, why sorrow is not the same as sadness, and how these moments reveal the depth of what once mattered. If you’ve ever felt quietly undone by a song you can’t explain, this episode is an invitation to listen gently, and let meaning unfold.
