As songwriters, the gift of our craft allows us to pour our thoughts and feelings out and turn them into songs that bring us comfort. I’m delighted to share a very special conversation with Emily Faye that explores finding comfort in saying goodbye and the journey of writing vulnerable songs. The quote for this episode is by Maya Angelou: “I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.” My conversation with Emily is unique and completely different from the other conversations on the show. I loved getting to explore the universal experience of saying goodbye in such a beautiful and honest way. We talk about the meaning of home, the story behind Emily’s single, “When It Comes to Leaving,” the comfort of the songwriting process, knowing when a song is a special one, the power of songs with universal messages, the magic of performing vulnerable songs unplugged, releasing a vulnerable and comforting song, production and genre decisions, the beauty of acoustic and reimagined versions of songs, advice for writing vulnerable songs, co-writing a personal song, and more. I loved having Emily on the show, and I hope our conversation brings you comfort and inspires you. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode?
