Found this very inspiring and emotional… maybe it’s my history of loving this song, or just the creative process and believing in something. https://t.co/Ld0JZjuInD

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

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. https://t.co/sTwiYS7y96

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

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: https://t.co/uu6tLKcoRx

[SAM SMITH @samsmith]

"Such a pleasure recording the iconic @SongExploder podcast with @HrishiHirway. @jimmynapes and I talk writing and recording ‘Stay With Me’, and the moment that Tourist hit those three chords..."
https://t.co/nbIoHMTzto

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

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: https://t.co/Y9PO4paH4A

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

.@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. https://t.co/5Gwli3uZM5

[James Riding @jamesriding10]

Had a good chuckle at the early versions of the @theflaminglips Do You Realise unearthed by @HrishiHirway for his podcast: “These demos are excruciating to hear, I don’t know what key I’m in!”
