Pauses in Rock

Soundcheck | Oct 14, 2010

The Four Tops' "Bernadette," the Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Runnin'" and David Bowie's "Young Americans" all have one common, memorable quality: a dramatic pause. Today: exploring what makes a break in a song so great.

Also: On Antony & the Johnsons' latest album "Swanlights," band leader Antony Hegarty explores his connections to nature. He joins us to perform live in the studio.
