"Welcome to level one, might seem impossible..."
Is love an impossible endeavor in a largely digital age? How can we "level up" in a world that seems to suggest that finding a romantic connection is all about playing games? Can a songwriter keep a theme consistent through an entire 3-minute song?
Dallas-based singer-songwriter Ren tackles these questions and more in the latest episode of Journey of a Song, featuring her song, "GameBoy"! She sits down with Emmeline to discuss their mutual love of wordplay; how "GameBoy" is an ode to her gamer days; and how, when we play games with others, we often end up playing ourselves. Ren and Emmeline also chat about the importance of live shows and open mics for songwriters, and about how difficult it can be to keep the spark of creative passion alive while working an evening job!
