S06E05 - Heads We're Dancing

This week, we're going back to '39, before the music started, to a
night that someone would rather forget, a night when they danced
with the devil: Hitler. Heads We're Dancing is the fifth track on
The Sensual World, and is one of the more propulsive songs Kate has
ever done. It might even be one of the darkest songs she's ever
done as well. Author James di Benedetto is on the show this week to
talk about this song, which is one of his Kate favorites! We talk
about our favorite lyrics, the inspiration of the song (hint: the
atomic bomb), and everything else about this seemingly charming but
actually quite dark song! If you're enjoying the show and would
