Found this very inspiring and emotional… maybe it’s my history of loving this song, or just the creative process and believing in something. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

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…
