Hello and welcome to the second ever live edition of Switch on Pop coming at you right here on

block island good people block island can you make some noise please I'm music

ologist Nate Sloan and I'm songwriter Charlie Harding and the last time we

did a live episode we had so much fun we were discussing at that time what was

the song of the summer and at first we were like maybe we should replicate

that for for this next edition of our live show impossible there there was no

debates zero this year there was only one song that could possibly be the song of

summer I think we all know what it is

there was really no point in having a debate over the song summer so we've

decided to go on a slightly different tack we are going to be comparing two

songs today as we sit in our identical ginkham shirts here I I realize that

maybe these two songs have a certain similarity as well they're both on the

pop charts right now and I want to break down with you Charlie and with our

friends and babies here today I want to break down a song by Kesha called

praying and I also want to talk about belief by imagine dragons to anthems of

resilience at a time when I think we could all use a little bit of resilience

yeah I'm sorry to correct you it is believer believer the last time we heard

from Kesha we were treated to one of the great free spirits in popular music

someone whose first chart success started like this this is tick-tock from

2009 wake up in the morning feeling like

pd my glasses on the door I'm gonna hit this city before I leave fresh

my teeth with a bottle of Jack cuz when I leave for the night I ain't coming back
