It's the last day of our fall member drive, and we've been very touched by the generosity of our members. You make The Current happen, and we couldn't do it without you.

If you haven't become a member yet, you can become a member today and support The Current with your contribution. And if you've been enjoying hearing the unique sound of exclusive in-studio tracks by artists like Courtney Barnett, Lucius, JD McPherson, Doomtree and others, you can choose to receive Live Current Volume 11 as a thank-you gift.

All this generosity has got us thinking about songs that touch on a similar theme.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention "give" or "giving"? Send us your requests.

Songs Played


Red Hot Chili Peppers "Give It Away"
Marvin Gaye "Got to Give It Up Park One"
ABBA "Gimme! Gimme! GImme! (A Man After Midnight)"
The Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter"
Rick Astley "Never Gonna Give You Up"
