Hosted in the Levan Center on Feb. 12, 2025, for an hour, is chats all on music. Anyone attending the event recommends music of any genre while everyone listens. Not only will music be playing, discussions on the deeper meanings of the instruments, lyricism, or symbolism of the covers.

Starting with talks about Arctic Monkeys lyrics to Mardy Bum then jumping into Oye Como Va by Santana because of a peer’s recommendation. Jamming to Pink Floyd songs, it got deep discovering the meaning of their album cover: Dark side of the moon.

Reggie Williams, the man hosting the event, shares his idea of the cover.  Everyone is different even though we come from the same place.  Referring to the light starting on one side of the prism and a hue of colors shine outwards.

Tim Heasley and Kyle Burnham brought up a good question if any recent artist creates albums that need to be heard in one sitting front to back. That is something Pink Floyd did on multiple occasions, so it became a trend in the 70s and 80s. Not all albums follow this pattern today, but you can find some gems.

How people listen to their music was another topic brought up. Heasley mentioned how vinyl has made its way into a mainstream form of listening, the majority of peers in attendance just stream music from their mobile devices.

When closing up the conversation, William encouraged students and staff to attend the next Deep Cut events to give input for songs that were not played this time or bring up interesting viewpoints of other songs.

When asked why these events were created at BC, Williams shares, “everything I do is to give a bigger sense of what college experience can be.” His passion is to show college campus can be more than just a class for a grade, but also a place to grow a bond. People in attendance showed up to previous conversations because there is not enough to be said about music and its culture.

Listen around campus to know about the Deep Cuts & Conversation happening next month, you won’t want to miss it.
