"But I can't even ask if you think about me as much as I think about you."
How can you process present absence? How do you handle the ambiguous end of a friendship? Is navigating the loss of someone you love a one-song or multiple-song journey? In her new song, "Think About You," the young, independent, country-folk artist Haven Victoria explores these themes and more!
In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Haven for a candid, honest discussion about how we, as songwriters, can and often do use music as catharsis. Haven shares the difficult experience that inspired "Think About You"--and a few other songs on her forthcoming project!--and talks about the misconception that all "breakup" songs are about romance. Emmeline and Haven also talk about the cool, collaborative discoveries that can happen in the studio, the importance of leaning on other musicians to empower you and enhance your music, and the beauty of being able to--over time and with careful attention to detail--turn emotions into ear-worms. They also talk about following your own authentic journey as a songwriter--even if that means that your genre evolves!
