Seth Swirsky was a highly successful staff songwriter for over 20 years and has put out three solo albums and three albums as The Red Button since 2004. He's a huge Beatles fan and has released a Beatles documentary Beatles Stories and has multiple books about psychology and baseball.

We discuss his heavily covered and sound-tracked tune "Love Is a Beautiful Thing"; you'll hear the version by Al Green from Don't Look Back (1993), then "Matchbook Cover" from Seth's album Watercolor Day (2010) and "Picture" by The Red Button from As Far as Yesterday Goes (2011). The end suite is "Shine/Circles and Squares/Go" from his album Circles and Squares (2016). Intro music is from the title track to Instant Pleasure (2004). For more, see seth.com.
