In this continuation of The Morning X's "powerful songs" discussion, Barnes and Leslie take more calls to discover which tracks deeply resonate with their listeners. Tune in to hear an out-of-state fan dial in to share why a nostalgic rock song perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of moving on to a new chapter in life. Discover why the raw, melancholic emotion of a classic '80s alternative track still brings callers to tears. But the real emotional gut-punch comes when a familiar voice—a fellow station personality—unexpectedly calls into the show. Listen as he shares the touching backstory behind an iconic '90s anthem, revealing how a beloved late colleague's unscripted, on-air breakdown cemented the track into the station's history and inspired its recent revival.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
