Wow, thank you so much! By the way, did you happen to hear the episode on the Severance theme music? songexploder.net/severance
On today's episode of the podcast, @TheGrahamNash breaks down the making of "Our House," the love song he wrote for @jonimitchell. This is a really special one; hearing the isolated voices of Crosby, Stills, and Nash in harmony is amazing. songexploder.net/csny
.@troyesivan tells the story of making “One of Your Girls” in the new episode. You’ll hear the first draft voice memos, his isolated vocal takes, and more, as he maps the story across continents and the creative decisions that went into the song. Listen: songexploder.net/troye-sivan
new episode with @beabad00bee — Bea breaks down how she made "Coming Home," starting in a lonely hotel room, and finishing in @RickRubin's Shangri-La studio. (with a little help from Adam Sandler?!) songexploder.net/beabadoobee
New episode! @remiwolf tells the story of making her song “Soup,” which began with the aim of making a fun anthem, and then quickly turned into something pretty vulnerable. Listen: songexploder.net/remi-wolf
Out today: the beautiful, deeply personal story of @samsmith’s massive hit “Stay With Me.” They tell the story of how the song was first made and developed, and how —years later—they made a change to the song to be even more true to who they are. Listen: songexploder.net/sam-smith
.@LizzyMcAlpine breaks down how she made her song “Staying." It's a story of knowing deep down that something isn't right and trying to fix it—both in terms of how she recorded and then re-recorded the song, and the messy relationship the song is about. songexploder.net/lizzy-mcalp…
.@theflaminglips break down how they wrote and recorded their classic hit "Do You Realize??" – from the very first demo to the 'wizard of oz choir' to the drum fill they stole from one of their old recordings. songexploder.net/the-flaming…
The great @FeistMusic breaks down the making of her song “In Lightning” — songexploder.net/feist.

On today’s episode, @NewOrder break down how they made their hit song “Blue Monday.” They originally intended it as an instrumental that they could hit 'play' on as they walked off stage, but it became the best-selling 12" vinyl single of all time. Listen: songexploder.net/new-order
Yaeji (@kraeji) tells the story of creating her song “Passed Me By,” about confronting her past. She sings in English and Korean, and explains how intertwining them affects the meaning of the lyrics. songexploder.net/yaeji
.@Seal breaks down how he made "Kiss from a Rose" (!!!) alongside his longtime producer @Trevor_Horn_. Hear Seal's incredible isolated vocals and the story of how this song almost came and went without notice. It's our 250th episode! Listen here: songexploder.net/seal
I don't know how I could have made it clearer – if you aren't a fan of Amish Elephant Ballet, DO NOT listen to this podcast
