In this episode, host James Cox — himself a resilient, hands‑on survivor of depression—welcomes a multifaceted friend, Tommy Giorlando. Tommy’s journey threads together three passions that seem worlds apart yet perfectly in sync: A lifelong love of music – From teen garage‑band mischief with Opus Podunk, through the folk‑pirate vibes of Boca Musica, to newly‑released pop‑punk tracks like “Bad Intentions.” He’ll share the wildest tour memories—like a dreamy canal cruise in Giethoorn, the spontaneous shanty sing‑alongs with international musicians, and the hypnotic crowd‑choreography of his old Opus Podunk finale. The science of sound – Tommy explains how certain frequencies can coax the brain into alpha‑ and theta‑states, making the stage feel like a trance. He’ll reveal how he weaves droning ambience, chimes, and even the Benny Hill theme into his comedy‑hypnosis shows, turning ordinary listeners into foot‑tappers, face‑dancers, and even accidental Irish river‑dancers. A faith‑based take on hypnosis – As a committed Christian, Tommy has wrestled with the theological controversy surrounding mind‑work. He’ll discuss his newly published book Transformed: Hypnosis Through the Lens of Scripture, the ethical line suggestion and control, and how modern research (even a Harvard study on bone‑healing) proves hypnosis is a neutral tool—like a hammer—shaped by the hands that wield it. Carrying the torch of the Tom Silver Foundation – After a poignant mentorship with the late hypnosis pioneer Tom Silver, Tommy now serves on the board of the nonprofit dedicated to spreading scientifically‑backed hypnotherapy to underserved communities, funding free pain‑relief sessions, and training medical professionals worldwide. Go to the Tom Silver Foundation website here: https://www.tomsilverfoundation.org Visit Tommy's website here: https://www.likeahypnotist.com All of this is wrapped in genuine friendship, a few off‑the‑cuff jokes about favorite bands (Beatles, Nirvana, Korn, Linkin Park), and a heartfelt moment when Tommy reveals the one song that still brings him to tears—Chris Tomlin’s “Holy Forever.” Tune in to discover how music can crack open the doors of the subconscious, lift the weight of depression, and turn a simple beat into a bridge between science, spirituality, and pure human connection. When words fail, music—and a good dose of hypnotic rhythm—speaks. 🎧✨ _____________________________________________________ When Words Fail…Music Speaks Links Website - www.whenwordsfailmusicspeaks.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/whenwordsfailmusicspeaks Facebook - www.facebook.com/WWFMSPodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whenwordsfailmusicspeakspod/ Our Podcast is available on: Stitcher, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play Store and many many more!

Welcome back to *When Words Fail Music Speaks Podcast that battles depression with the healing power of music. In today’s episode we’re joined by rising indie rocker‑pop‑punk talent Zack King We kick off with a quick word from our sponsor, BetterHelp, reminding listeners that affordable, flexible online therapy is just a click away—plus a special 10 % discount for our audience. From there, host James “the professional handicapped” Cox dives into Zack’s personal journey: why escaping Minnesota’s bleak, long winters for Los Angeles’s perpetual sunshine transformed his mental health, how a loyal dog and daily walks became his daily dose of vitamin D, and why that sunny vibe now powers his new album Text‑Way‑Into‑Your‑Heart (dropping September 12). Zack breaks down his genre‑spanning sound—rock, pop, and punk rolled into a fresh pop‑punk hybrid—while sharing his biggest musical influences, from Matchbox 20 to Paramore, and the role of writing, therapy, and honest lyricism in navigating anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. We also explore the modern music‑maker’s toolkit: Zack’s love‑hate relationship with AI, his DIY production experiments in Ableton, the grind of being an independent artist (merch, gigs, social media, and the relentless hustle of juggling day jobs), and why he’s staying indie for now. Fans will hear Zack’s favorite cover stories, his hot‑take on music legends (Creed over Nickelback, Metallica over Megadeth), and a rapid‑fire round of “hardest questions” that reveal his guilty‑pleasure tracks and secret inspirations. Finally, Zack teases upcoming tour plans on the West Coast, new merch drops, and where listeners can find his music, TikTok, Instagram, and more. Tune in for a raw, authentic conversation about creativity, mental health, and the relentless pursuit of a song that truly resonates—because when words fail, music speaks.✨ _____________________________________________________ When Words Fail…Music Speaks Links Website - www.whenwordsfailmusicspeaks.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/whenwordsfailmusicspeaks Facebook - www.facebook.com/WWFMSPodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whenwordsfailmusicspeakspod/ Our Podcast is available on: Stitcher, Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Play Store and many many more!
