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

Here's the first trailer for COMPANION. I composed the score for the movie, and I *cannot wait* for people to see it in theaters in January…

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

.@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: https://t.co/3Z3ikxqvC5

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?!) https://t.co/AZWvuRSYiG

[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

[Fenne Lily @FenneLily]

here I am dissecting myself on @SongExploder

thank you king @HrishiHirway

https://t.co/9jroHTquMd

[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!”

Episode 272: The Flaming Lips on @SongExploder https://t.co/q4mEcqdvA7

[Song Exploder @SongExploder]

.@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. https://t.co/WOr3lF1WjS

[WAR the Band @WARtheBand]

We told the story of “Low Rider” in a new epsiode of @SongExploder

Lonnie Jordan and producer Jerry Goldstein take apart the original, raw 1975 jam session that the song was born from, and how everyone in the room helped shape the sound of this absolute classic.
