A Life In Song is born of the idea that everybody has a story to tell, and everyone deserves a song. Each episode begins with an ordinary person sharing an incredible, heartbreaking, and often life-changing experience, and culminates with an original song written and performed by long time indie fave Clem Snide. Hear about Lawrence's escape from a cult in the middle of West Texas, Mike’s first sleepless night after impulsively joining the Navy, and Chris' experience homeschooling in Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s basement after his mom’s nervous breakdown. All this plus anecdotal evidence that miraculous healing is possible and that our souls live on forever. Listen to a new episode of A Life In Song with Clem Snide every Thursday starting May 26th wherever you get your podcasts, and submit a story of your own at ALIFEINSONG.COM.

Song For Joshua Payne
Joshua falls into a fountain and finds the universal source of inspiration. It’s a song about picking up the pieces (and invisible rattling charms from the ether).
-
Song For Dan
After a terminal diagnosis, Dan sells his house, buys a Winnebago, and plans out spending his last days. It’s a song about living and dying—and the joy and pain in both.
-
Song For Steve
A hospital gets one beautiful death per year. Steve gets a note from James Gandolfini. A ski shop gets a new employee of the month. It’s a prayer about the lonely, lovely journey of life.
-
Song For Chris
From a televangelist’s theme park to a mental hospital, Chris is on a rollercoaster as his mother slowly blurs the line between devotion and madness. It’s a song about faith…or delusion.
-
Song For Chloe
It’s matters of the heart. Love…and potentially fatal genetic conditions. A song for Chloe is a song about human connection.
-
Song For Lawrence
Lawrence tries to run away from home and rejection but ends up in El Paso and drug addiction. Rehab is a ranch in Texas where he finds the truth in a circle of lies. It’s a song about self acceptance.
Customer Reviews
Favorite Artist Starts a Podcast
I have been a huge fan of Eef Barzelay and Clem Snide since one of their songs was used as the theme music for the second season of the TV show Ed. I have had the honor of meeting him in person and talking with him about how much his music affects me. I am so happy that this podcast is now bringing his music to a new audience. The show is a welcome calm spot in my week. I hope his audience grows to epic proportions thanks to this podcast!
Just listen
Love the content and the presentation. Makes me want to start up a fire in June and crack open a beer to listen to the next one!
Transfixing
It’s so good to hear Eef in this format. His songwriting is as heart-opening and nimble as ever. Paired with these short narratives, this show can’t miss!
